Goddard’s most recent book, When Right Makes Might: Rising Powers and the Challenge to World Order (Cornell University Press, 2018), examines how a rising power’s legitimation strategy shapes whether great powers accommodate or confront a potential challenger. Her first book, Indivisible Territory and the Politics of Legitimacy: Jerusalem and Northern Ireland (Cambridge University Press, 2010), explores how narratives of legitimacy are used to secure contested territory. A third book, Dynamics of Power Politics, coauthored with Paul MacDonald and Daniel Nexon, is forthcoming from Oxford University Press in 2027. Her articles have appeared in leading journals including International Security, International Organization, and International Studies Quarterly, and her public writing has been published in Foreign Affairs, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, among others.
