Finally, in the practice category we have two articles. The first, by @ksailormoon.bsky.social @gadinsky.bsky.social & Stefan Groth, provides a framework for how to conceptualize the use of narratives in international studies. academic.oup.com/isp/article-...

This looks like a great opportunity to work with @ninareiners.bsky.social 🎓. Being a PhD student at UiO (at least in my experience...so far!) equals an exceptional work/life balance, interesting work, committed colleagues, and snow & lakes nearby -- a pretty unique balance in academia these days.

Very happy to have had the opportunity to write this short blog about my book 📖 Can IOs govern without proper mandates and policies? The answer is yes! Check it out below 👇🏽

The workshop is over, everyone is relieved and hopefully regenerated. It was so nice to see everyone doing a great job, with so many interesting projects! It was a pleasure and privilege to host you and learn from all of you! And here are some more pics

Meeting friends and heroes at the EUI workshop “Shifting Powers, Shifting Roles: The Present and Future of International Institutions”. Brilliant keynote discussions by @monicahakimi.bsky.social, Tony Anghie, @sarahnou.bsky.social. Also a great setting to discuss de-dollarisation and int’l law!

Kudos to @jemtseva.bsky.social, @maxlesch.bsky.social and others at @eui-eu.bsky.social for organizing this fantastic interdisciplinary workshop on the present and future of int’l institutions & bringing together critical legal and IR scholars.

Looking forward to #ESIL2025 in ✨Berlin✨ and to chairing Agora 5: Actors of Reconstruction! 11-13 September 2025 www.esil2025.de

Thrilled to announce that @gadinsky.bsky.social and I have an article out that deals with all your questions about normativity, practices, ordering, and global protest (though it may not answer them all). We hope you'll find it interesting, so let us know what you think! 👇

Very happy to see this published 😁 why do we need to think about the normative element in practices? Sounds like a difficult question, but it is highly relevant for all IR scholars 💥 @holgerniemann.bsky.social and I show how we can explore the normativity in practices like protesting. Open access!

If you are interested in how the research programs on power transition, regime complexity & international order can speak to one another, then this forum could be of interest to you. Great contributions from Laura Gómez-Mera, @tgutner.bsky.social, Matias Margulis .. academic.oup.com/isr/article/...

Pleased to share a new #OpenAccess CUP Element w @stevenbernstein.bsky.social & Marion Laurence! We engage recent norm+practice lit to offer an account of change+continuity in global politics. We hope it appeals to students & scholars of norms, practice, governance, and more! Link: cup.org/4iYggy0

I missed #ISA2025, but I’m very happy that these two awards still made their way to Florence ✨ My paper on the politics of UN Security Council procedure and Mexico’s resistance against expansive self-defence claims in Article 51 letters won the Best Paper Award from the International Law Section!

My latest article on my current research project on UN special rapporteurs is finally out with @risjnl.bsky.social! I develop the notion of the plural professional, or actors who practice several professions at the same time & not necessarily harmoniously. www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

I contributed a brief chapter on 𝗖𝘆𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗺, which was a lot of fun to write. You can find my chapter here (let me know if you don’t have access…): www.elgaronline.com/display/book...

Beate Jahn & Sebastian Schindler have compiled a fantastic “Elgar Encyclopedia of International Relations." What makes it special is that it not only covers well-known IR concepts but also many less-established ones—such as art, failure, friendship, or post-truth. A great resource! 🙏 lmy.de/mjCbh

I've written a short entry on 'Norms' for the Elgar Encyclopedia of International Relations, brilliantly edited by Beate Jahn and Sebastian Schindler. Check out the 179 (!) entries covering a lot of ground - from academic freedom to world economy. doi.org/10.4337/9781...
