Evidently, you pull a Witcher. "Bond's changed since that explosion", M mutters (quick wink to the audience?), as Rihanna saunters to the bar to order a Martini.

Immerhin hat überhaupt mal jemand 'ne Dauerstelle gefunden.

🚨 Publication Alert 🚨 "Neoclassical Realist Theory of Populist Foreign Policy" just out with @risjnl.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1017/S026... I explore how populism affects state behavior over time. This aims at further integrating populism scholarship into, and combining it with, IR theory. 1/9

It's out! 😍

Spot on.

Man muss mal sagen: rechtlich ist so ziemlich alles daran falsch.

Erst der Louvre und jetzt das.

With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

With Trump, it's 50/50 whether they're going to obliterate Caracas or forget about this to focus on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch next.

This is basically my 'Foreign Policy Analysis' exam, just that I'm also asking about the casual mechanism.

Hahahaha

Wie dieses Land habituell mit verdienten Leuten in der Forschung und Lehre umgeht, ist gelinde gesagt zum Kotzen.

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

The president (or maybe not president) of Madagascar—a radio DJ who overthrew the island’s yogurt kingpin in a coup d’état—just fled the country in a French helicopter after Gen Z protests. I wrote about the most interesting island you know nothing about, with bonus pictures of me with lemurs:

🚨 Podcast Alert 🚨 I joined Miranda Melcher on @newbooksnetwork.bsky.social to talk about my book, 'The No-Fly Zone in US Foreign Policy'! We discussed theory, cases from Iraq to Ukraine, & the curious entanglement of pol. shorthand & mil. strategy. Check it out: newbooksnetwork.com/the-no-fly-z...

Ah the endless joys and dark hallways of early morning teaching during winter.

Too slop to fail.

Are you interested in Teaching & Learning? This is the event for you.

Friends, please help - there was a 👉 'write an article in a panel/day' 👈 session or workshop at @isanet.bsky.social sometime in the last years - was anybody there and remembers this? I believe they produced an actual article - does anybody know which one? Any help would be appreciated! 🫶

It's a small step from this to an AI generated sequel. Moby Dick 2: Ahab Resurgent.

Neorealism, liberalism, constructivism.

🚨Blogpost Alert 🚨 Reinout van der Veer, @meibauir.bsky.social & Michal Onderco on populism, technocracy & international organizations (in 🇳🇱): stukroodvlees.nl/populisten-o... This work builds on research recently published in @ejprjournal.bsky.social and @ejir.bsky.social (links below).

Beste Art von Hetzer.

"Das Prinzip der Drittmittelförderung muss insgesamt reformiert werden. Forscherinnen und Forscher verbringen inzwischen einen erheblichen Teil ihrer Zeit damit, seitenlange Anträge zu schreiben – hunderte Seiten, die ganze Teams binden."

This sounds very dumb (and it objectively is) but if you want to fully understand how this OSD specifically and Admin generally view themselves, you need to follow their presence on the everything app if it's a TV presidency it's a poasting OSD

Yamatopoeia - words that make it sound like a big-ass ship is the solution to all maritime strategy.

It's easy to see this speech as just weirdly performative, but there's a lot more—and a lot worse—going on here. The meeting & speeches are part of a larger project aimed at promoting the military leadership’s partisan alignment with the administration. How? 1/

🚨 Public Service Announcement 🚨

The unusual flying objects we like to see at (abandoned) airports.

The success of the far right is not only measured in votes and seats but in its impact on rhetoric, policy and ideology. The fact that a (nominally) social democratic head of government with a huge majority choses to say and do this is maybe the biggest success of the far right in Europe yet.

Das ist ein starkes Zeichen. Go, Hannah!

Venezuela is a scam. Also London. And crime, crime is definitely a scam; also vice versa.

You all need to get away from the theories of foreign policy scam or your research will fail. I'm really good at predicting things.

💡Schnelle Einschätzung zu Flugverbotszone über Ukraine 💡 1️⃣ Könnte die NATO das? Ja. 2️⃣ Wird die NATO das machen? Nein. 3️⃣ Warum schlägt 🇵🇱 das vor? Vermutlich Mischung aus Aufmerksamkeitsmanagement, Allianzpolitik, & Wahlstimmensuche. (Prinzipiell nichts Schlechtes dran.) www.faz.net/aktuell/poli...

💡Quick take 💡 👉 No-fly zones over Ukraine, targeting drones: 1️⃣ Is NATO capable? Yes. 2️⃣ Will NATO do this? No. 3️⃣ Why is 🇵🇱 suggesting it? Mostly grab/keep attention, influence alliance politics & impress some voters. (Nothing inherently bad about any of this, btw). edition.cnn.com/2025/09/15/e...
