A wave of recent scholarship has breathed new life into the study of reputation and credibility in international politics. In this review article, the authors welcome this development while offering a framework for evaluating collective progress, a series of related critiques, and a set of suggestions for future research. The article details how the books under review represent an important step toward consensus on the importance of reputation in world politics, elucidating scope conditions for when reputational inferences are likely to be most salient. The authors argue that despite the significant accomplishments of recent studies, the scholarly record remains thin on the psychology of the perceiver and is instead focused on situational factors at the expense of dispositional variables and is rather myopically oriented toward reputation for resolve to the exclusion of other important types. Despite its contributions, the new literature still falls short of a full explanation for how actors draw inferences about reputation. These remaining theoretical challenges demand scholarly attention and suggest a role for psychology in filling some of the gaps.

重新定义国际安全中关于声誉和信誉的辩论

最近的一波学术浪潮为国际政治中的声誉和信誉研究注入了新的活力。在这篇评论文章中，作者欢迎这一发展，同时提供了一个评估集体进步的框架、一系列相关的批评，以及对未来研究的一系列建议。文章详细介绍了正在审查的书籍如何代表就声誉在世界政治中的重要性达成共识迈出了重要一步，阐明了声誉推断可能最突出的范围条件。作者认为，尽管最近的研究取得了重大成就，关于感知者心理的学术记录仍然很少，而是专注于情境因素，而忽视了性格变量，并且相当短视地倾向于以决心排除其他重要类型的声誉。尽管做出了贡献，但新文献仍然没有充分解释演员如何推断声誉。这些剩余的理论挑战需要学术界的关注，并建议心理学在填补一些空白方面发挥作用。
