Really honored to be awarded the King’s Gold Medal for my dissertation! You can read more about it below, and then I want to add that I was incredibly lucky with my workplace, colleagues, co-authors and supervisors during my PhD<3 feeling grateful!!

Jeg har en kronikk i @aftenposten.no i dag om at Kina ikke er supermakten du tror den er. Tidligere har jeg skrevet mye om at Kina ikke matcher USA militært. Ny forskning viser at USA også er økonomisk overlegen. Les mer her: www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

📄 Jeg har en kronikk ute i @dagsavisen.bsky.social i dag. På papir og på nett. USA har blitt en kødd. Men det er ikke bare vi allierte som taper på det. USA risikerer å miste ett viktig utenrikspolitisk verktøy: prestisje

I dag har jeg en lang kronikk på trykk i Aftenposten, som er basert på mitt introduksjonsessay for den nyeste utgaven av Tidsskriftet Internasjonal Politikk. Jeg skriver om at USA nå er inne i en brytningstid, og at vi kan vinke den forrige æraen - www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...

I dagens @aftenposten.no skriver jeg og @miroslavnemcok.bsky.social om hvorfor Slovakia has blitt EUs hodepine. Statsminister Fico reiser til Moskva og lar seg bruke i russisk propaganda. Det setter både EUs troverdighet og enigheten om Ukraina-støtte på spill www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...

Slovak PM Fico is about to land in Moscow to stand by Putin, legitimizing Russia’s narrative and defying EU foreign policy. As @palroren.bsky.social and I argue, Fico’s domestic pressure is now a warning sign for EU unity. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...

Norges internasjonalt bindende klimamål handler mest om EUs måloppnåelse og lite om norsk innsats. Ni år etter at målet ble satt, er det uklart om Europeiske Union (EU) vil lykkes – og Norges ansvar er i det blå. Les mitt innlegg og bli forvirret på et høyere nivå! www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...
