Anatoly Levshin

Anatoly (Tolya) Levshin is a Postdoctoral Fellow with the International Security Program and in Technology and Geopolitics at the Belfer Center. He is also Director’s Fellow with the Reimagining World Order research community at Princeton University, which he formerly co-curated with its director, G. John Ikenberry.

Anatoly’s research explores fundamental international-security issues from the standpoint of world order. His first book project, tentatively entitled The Fragile Peace: Rules of Neutralization, Demilitarization, and Non-Aggression and the Institutional Logic of Multilateral Prohibitions on Militarized Bargaining, investigates rules of neutralization, demilitarization, and non-aggression as instruments for the bounding of war in the international system. The book compiles an original dataset of such rules; investigates why states enact them; and explores the implications of this important practice for our understanding of the ability states, especially the great powers, to regulate the scope and intensity of strategic competition under anarchy.

He also studies Artificial Intelligence as an emergent technology. He is currently writing a paper on the probable implications of the militarization of Artificial Intelligence by the great powers on patterns of strategic competition in the international system.”
