What happens to global governance in times of transnational crisis? Our paper explores its resilience under pressure. academic.oup.com/isr/article/...

Some of the points that @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social and I make in this piece may be more relevant now than ever. Crucially, the responses of many European governments to Maduro’s illegal capture are likely to hasten the destruction of global governance. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

So, das war's fuer dieses Jahr. Enjoy your break & see you in 2026.

Our paper introduces a novel conceptualization of institutional resilience focused on the capacity to both absorb and adapt to stress, and analyses what makes global governance resilient to transnational crises. We identify three dimensions for assessing the resilience of governance arrangements:

To illustrate the analytical utility of our approach, we analyze global governance responses to the Global Financial Crisis and compare them with responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. While global governance showed considerable resilience to the GFC, this was not the case in response to COVID-19.

In sum, we lay the conceptual and theoretical foundations for a comparative research agenda on global governance responses to transnational crises, centered on our three-dimensional approach to institutional resilience and our two conjectures about the conditions fostering resilient governance.

The world has faced a series of transnational crises, from the GFC to COVID-19. How effectively can global governance respond to transnational crises? Ken Abbott and I address this question in "Does the System Work? Transnational Crises and the Resilience of Global Governance." shorturl.at/obqyH

Happy to share a new paper in RIPE with Angelo Gerber-Helm & @mirkoheinzel.bsky.social! When and how do new IOs engage with their legacy contenders? Using 2016–2023 data, we uncover patterned AIIB–World Bank & ADB cooperation shaped by country context and BRI ties. OA ⬇️ doi.org/10.1080/0969...

We have been thinking deeply about the resilience of global governance over the last years. It's great to see that our paper is now only one step away from publication. We offer a novel conceptualization of institutional resilience and theorize what makes global governance resilient. Stay tuned!

There is one week left to submit your paper proposal for our workshop 'Global Governance in Times of Disruption' at next year's @ecpr.bsky.social Joint Sessions of Workshops. Join us in Innsbruck!

It was wonderful to see our PG IR students graduate this morning and to reconnect with my first cohort as programme convenor.

The importance of tax collection for sustainable development cannot be overstated. This is the point that Matt Barlow (IBEI- @glasgow.ac.uk ) makes in his new book ‘#Taxing for #Development: Contested Ideas, the State & Commodity Taxes in #Argentina’. Check here 👉 t.ly/J4Bw7

Our key arguments are: 1️⃣ The challenge posed by the #US under #Trump 2.0 is more severe than under Trump 1.0. It deprived global governance institutions from material and immaterial support in an unparalleled stepped and intensity.

Does #Trump 2.0 mean the decline of global governance and the resurgence of traditional great-power politics? The death of global governance is not inevitable but will depend on how major powers respond, argue @benjaminfaude.bsky.social and I in a recent article: doi.org/10.1007/s435... 👇

Interesting piece in The Guardian by Philippe Sands, very much in line with what @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social and I argue in "Destruction or Renewal? Trumpism and the future of global governance". www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Destruction or Renewal? Trumpism and the future of global governance. @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social and I argue that although Trump II poses an even greater challenge than Trump I, the decline of global governance and the resurgence great power politics is not inevitable. shorturl.at/cBzoS
