I created a starter pack of academics working on EU 🇪🇺 politics and European integration 👇. Let me know if you want to be added. go.bsky.app/Bg7sPSp

In my new article, I suggest that we need a historically situated political economy perspective to understand the mainstreaming of the far-right - I show this via an analysis of the post-Brexit border regime in Britain: academic.oup.com/ips/article/...

Check out this great book by @jbowsher.bsky.social

This special issue was edited by SEI member James Hampshire - with contributions by @michaelacbenson.bsky.social & @nandosigona.bsky.social, @mcslaven.bsky.social & others (who might still join here)

In her talk “Thinking Europe from its Eastern Border” at SEI Sussex, Karolina Follis examined the contours of the politics of race at the border between Poland and Belarus - and linked these developments to previous enlargements of the EU to the east. Thanks so much for coming to Sussex!
