1 year into #Trump's new take on #AmericaFirst 🇺🇸 what is similar and what is different to his first term? 3 lessons from Trump 1.0 about responding to renewed institutional contestation by Trump 2.0 in my contribution to @iajournal.bsky.social's blog: medium.com/internationa...

How are #France 🇫🇷 and #Germany 🇩🇪 driving European 🇪🇺 #security and #defense policy? 🛡️ Moritz Weiss will discuss this question with Alexandre A. Vulic of the French Consulate in Munich & Walburga von Lerchenfeld of the #CSU Foreign and Security Policy working group.

How do #tax systems reveal #gender #inequity? In her guest lecture at the @bagss-bamberg.bsky.social, Laura Seelkopf will explore the roots of gender-based discrimination in European taxes! #BAGSS #BAGSSGuestLecture #SocialSciences

What shapes #publicopinion about int' #trade agreements in times of #populism and #geopolitics? In today’s presentation at our joint colloquium, @robert-a-huber.bsky.social argued that trade agreements with provisions that protect the #environment attract more public support!

🎉🏆 Sustainability Prize of the @lmumuenchen.bsky.social #LMU Social Science Faculty for the Brussels excursion accompanying the seminar "EU External Crisis Management." Congratulations to the organizers Sandra Bandemer, Kathrin Will & Amelie Schrenk!

How should #Europe 🇪🇺 and #Germany 🇩🇪 respond to the #US 🇺🇸 turn away from int’ law under #Trump? I had the great opportunity to talk about this question with @ferdimeyen.bsky.social for Bavarian public broadcasting #BR @br24.de: www.br.de/nachrichten/...

🇺🇸⚡️🇺🇳 Great to see the timely Special Issue ‘Trumpism and Global Governance’ published in Global Public Policy and Governance #GPPG! @benjaminfaude.bsky.social & I argue that the #destruction of GG is not inevitable but that #Europe can promote its #renewal: doi.org/10.1007/s435...

Why are liberal #democracies and institutions like the #UN & #WTO in crisis? @cknill.bsky.social, B. Rittberger & B. Zangl argue in an interview with @lmumuenchen.bsky.social #LMU press team that the very factors that have made #liberal orders strong can also lead to their destabilization!

Do #governments use int' organizations to avoid #blame for policies that are unpopular domestically? 🌐😡 In our contribution to #RIO @the-peio.bsky.social, @tommccraehunter.bsky.social, @sujeongshim.bsky.social & I explore this question in the case of the #IMF: lnkd.in/d6kyAxKj

Happy to be part of the topical special issue ‘Still a Reliable Ally?’ about #Trump 2.0, edited by @atlanticboeller.bsky.social & Jakob Wiedekind: link.springer.com/journal/1239...

As #Latvia 🇱🇻 will soon represent the #EU 🇪🇺 in the #UNSC 🇺🇳, I had the pleasure to discuss with @latvijasradio.bsky.social about the current challenges to #multilateralism posed by the disengagement of the great powers #US 🇺🇸, #China 🇨🇳 and #Russia 🇷🇺: www.lsm.lv/raksts/zinas...

Is there a more Munich way to end the year than heading to a beergarden for Bavarian curling? 🥌❄️ Cold air, warm drinks, friendly competition, and plenty of laughs accompanied the winter event of the teams Seelkopf, Rittberger & Zangl. Happy holidays and all the best for 2026!

📣 Tomorrow at #LMU (16 Dec): "Left, right, or just vibes? A conversation about political thought, ideology, and myth in the modern American political landscape" – with GSI’s Sebastian Schindler & Americanist Alexandra Schenke Register here: forms.gle/iB9oM4qh8h2e...

What can we learn from Trump 1.0 for Trump 2.0 🇺🇸 and the future of the liberal international order #LIO? 🌐 In a recent study in @iajournal.bsky.social, I assessed #Trump 1.0’s attacks against int’ institutions and their consequences: doi.org/10.1093/ia/i... Key findings & implications👇

LMU-Politologe @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social untersucht wie internationale Organisationen ohne die Unterstützung der #USA handlungsfähig bleiben können und warum #Europa jetzt gefordert ist, multilaterale Strukturen zu stabilisieren. 🌍 🤝 #LMUMuenchen #Multilateralismus www.lmu.de/de/newsroom/...

I am deeply honored to have received the #DeutscherStudienpreis by Julia Kloeckner @bundestag.de🏆🇩🇪 This PhD award by the #KoerberStiftung values rigorous, societally relevant research – which is exactly what I strive for in my work @lmumuenchen.bsky.social #LMU & @eui-eu.bsky.social #EUI!

📣 New research: In a new paper, @bendassler.bsky.social, together with Angelo Gerber-Helm and @mirkoheinzel.bsky.social, analyses how newly created contender institutions navigate their pre-existing institutional environments: www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

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... 👇

The first #G20 summit in Africa was overshadowed by #US absence. What does this tell us about this institution – and int' politics more generally in the age of Trumpism? I had the pleasure to share my views about these questions with Romain Chanson for @jeuneafrique.com 👇

Back in #Brussels and very much looking forward to a week packed with conversations about Europe’s support for #multilateralism with #EU, #NATO, #UN, and government officials as well as researchers of the @ensured.bsky.social & EU NAVIGATOR projects! 🇪🇺 🇺🇳

I am deeply honored that my PhD thesis on the #US withdrawal from #multilateralism has been selected for the biannual dissertation award of the #UN Association of Germany #DGVN! 🇩🇪🇺🇳🏆 dgvn.de/meldung/dgvn...

Is the #US 🇺🇸 disengagement from the #LIO a Trump-specific or a more general phenomenon? Treating #Trump as a mere aberration risks overlooking structural forces that are driving the US away from the LIO, argue Leonard Schütte (@belfercenter.bsky.social) and I in #ZFAS: doi.org/10.1007/s123...

„In Ländern wie Deutschland […] haben verheiratete #Frauen im Durchschnitt einen höheren Steuersatz als ledige.“ betont Laura Seelkopf. Die #LMU-Wissenschaftlerin untersucht, wie #Steuersysteme Menschen unterschiedlich behandeln – und was das für Gleichstellung und Wirtschaft bedeutet. 🔎

How can member states convince citizens to support #compliance with contested #EU policies? 🇪🇺 In our recent contribution to @govjournal.bsky.social , Asya Zhelyazkova, @thijslin.bsky.social, Agnieszka Kanas and I draw on a survey experiment to examine the effectiveness of different strategies👇

I am excited to spend the coming academic year as a Max Weber Fellow at the @eui-eu.bsky.social – Europe’s “Hogwarts,” as The Economist recently put it.

Der Rückzug der #USA 🇺🇸 aus internationalen Institutionen unter Donald #Trump ist nicht so außergewöhnlich wie oft angenommen argumentiere ich in meinem neusten Beitrag in der #ZIB (@zibjournal.bsky.social | @dvpw.bsky.social): www.nomos-elibrary.de/10.5771/0946...

Zwei Auszeichnungen für die #LMU beim Deutschen Studienpreis 2025 🏆: @angelikadannert.bsky.social und @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social beeindrucken mit Forschung zu Demenz und internationaler Politik. #LMUMuenchen #DeutscherStudienpreis #Dissertation Mehr dazu hier: www.lmu.de/de/die-lmu/d...

Since I started working in academia, it has been my ambition to conduct rigorous research on topics that matter. This is why I am particularly thrilled about the #DeutscherStudienpreis of the #Körber-Stiftung, that puts emphasis on the societal relevance next to the excellency of PhD theses.

Very happy to see this interview about #Trump and the future of #Multilateralism with @mariekeliesbeth.bsky.social out in the @laviedesidees.bsky.social. The English version can be found here: booksandideas.net/Multilateral...

En désignant les organisations internationales comme boucs émissaires, les attaques trumpistes sapent le multilatéralisme et l'ordre libéral issu de 1945. Ce désengagement américain relance le débat sur un possible leadership alternatif porté par l'UE.

What does #Trump 2.0 🇺🇸 mean for the future of #multilateralism? It was a great pleasure to present insights from my research on the #US ambivalence towards int' institutions under Trump & beyond at the Atlantic Forum of @atlantakademie.bsky.social‬ & @rptu.bsky.social 👇

Wie sieht die Zukunft des #Multilateralismus ohne die #USA aus? Und wie kann #Europa reagieren? Am Dienstag 3.6. ab 18:00 spreche ich hierzu im Atlantischen Forum der @atlantakademie.bsky.social‬ & @rptu.bsky.social‬. Die Veranstaltung ist öffentlich: www.atlantische-akademie.de/atfo-juni-25
