📣 #CfP The 18th Early Career Conference on International Relations (25–27 Feb 2026) once again invites PhD candidates & postdocs to present and discuss their research in beautiful Tutzing! Abstracts can be submitted until 30 Sept 2025. Further details can be found in the attached call.

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.

Goodbye Thessaloniki! 🇬🇷 I very much enjoyed participating at the @ecpr.bsky.social General Conference #ECPR25, to meet (again) so many great colleagues, and to learn about and discuss their ongoing projects. I had the chance of presenting and getting feedback on three studies 👇

Excited to be on a great panel on Politicization and Party Strategies in the EU @ecpr.bsky.social. Featuring @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social , @kovarek.bsky.social , @duarteamaro.bsky.social, @saorhan.bsky.social among others. Come on down to the Polytechnic School (B 5.39)at 13:30 tomorrow (29 Aug)!

International politics becomes increasingly (geo-)politicized. How do IOs respond? Which are resilient and which decay? Our panel at the @ecpr.bsky.social General Conference in Thessaloniki today provided answers to these questions 👇 #ecprgc25 #Geopolitics #IR

Our book "European Blame Games“, co-authored by Berthold Rittberger, Bernhard Zangl, and Lisa Kriegmair (#OUP, 2024), was reviewed by Doris Wydra (@sceus.bsky.social) for @poppublicsphere.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1017/S153...

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...

🏆 German Thesis Award for Dr. Tim Heinkelmann-Wild 🥳 @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social has been awarded the #DeutscherStudienpreis of the #KörberStiftung for his dissertation on the withdrawal of the USA from int' institutions. He received a 2nd prize of 10,000 Euros in the Social Sciences.

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.

Liberalism doomed the Liberal International Order #LIO argue Stacie Goddard, Ronald R. Krebs, @ckreudersonnen.bsky.social, and Berthold Rittberger in @foreignaffairs.com: www.foreignaffairs.com/united-state...

📢 4.-7.8.: Summer School „Gender in Gesellschaft, Medien und Politik“ der sozialwiss. Fakultät der @lmumuenchen.bsky.social, organisiert von Nora Lege (Ifs), Corinna Lauerer (@ifkw.bsky.social) & @nzwiener-collins.bsky.social. Alle Interessierten sind herzlich zum Rahmenprogramm eingeladen👇

🏆🤓 I am deeply grateful for the Dissertation Award of the Münchener Universitätsgesellschaft #MUG of @lmumuenchen.bsky.social #LMU: www.lmu.de/de/newsroom/...

What explains the crisis of liberal orders? At this term‘s Research Colloquium of the Siemens Foundation, Laura Seelkopf and Berthold Rittberger presented an application for an inter-disciplinary DFG SFB “Failing through success? Stabilization-destabilization paradoxes in liberal orders”.

Professor Philipp Rehm (John Hopkins University) visited our institute to share his insights about #inequality, #mobility and the #elections: www.gsi.uni-muenchen.de/lehreinheite...

Heute bin ich gerne etwas früher aufgestanden, um für Bayern 2 “Die Welt von Morgen” mit Christina Wolf darüber zu sprechen, ob #Multilateralismus angesichts von #Trump 2.0 und der #UN Budget-Krise noch eine Zukunft hat. Ab 7:33 gehts los: www.br.de/radio/live/b...

🥳 Congratulations, @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social, for being awarded a prize for his doctoral thesis "After Exit: Alternative Leadership and Institutional Resilience after Hegemonic Withdrawal" by the Münchener Universitätsgesellschaft #MUG!

🏆 #Honored: Six doctoral & two post-doctoral #LMU researchers receive sponsorship awards from #MUG 🎓 This year, the topics range from innovative methods for the early detection of cancer to the question of whether new risks posed by artificial intelligence (AI) require new legal concepts.

Es hat großen Spaß gemacht, mit @vohsvanessa.bsky.social (Uni BW München) und der Study Group "Law and Global Challenges" von Markus Kaltenborn (RUB) über die Auswirkungen von #Trump 2.0 🇺🇸 auf das #Völkerrecht sowie die strategischen Optionen von #Deutschland 🇩🇪 und #Europa 🇪🇺 zu diskutieren!

As the political rift between the #US & #Europe is deepening, it was great to meet & exchange w/ stellar colleagues from both sides of the Atlantic about the US withdrawal from the int' order, its future, and Europe's role within it at the 2025 CES Conference at Temple University, Philadelphia.

Der Lehrstuhl für Global Governance and Public Policy (Prof. Bernhard Zangl) sucht ab 01.10.2025 eine Studentische Hilfskraft (m/w/d) (5-8 Wochenstunden). Bewerbungen bis 11.07.2025 an [email protected]

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

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

How can #Europe respond to the challenges posed by #Trump 2.0? Join our discussion on Mo 9.6. 15-16:30 at the @campolis.bsky.social with a great panel featuring Mette Eilstrup-Sangiovanni, Brendan Simms, Simon Weisser & Chistopher Hill. All welcome – RSVP: www.polis.cam.ac.uk/events/europ...

NEXT WEEK! Wir freuen uns auf Dr. @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social und seinen Vortrag zum Thema "Multilateralismus ohne Amerika? Mythos, Realität und Antworten auf Trump 2.0"! Come join us, am 3. Juni um 18.00 Uhr an der @rptu.bsky.social. www.atlantische-akademie.de/atfo-juni-25

In der aktuellen @apuz.bsky.social “Liberale Weltordnung” analysiere ich, warum der Rückzug der #USA aus int’ Institutionen kein neues Phänomen ist und wie #Europa darauf antworten kann 👇

When and why do states show #solidarity in the face of international disasters? At today’s Global Politics Colloquium, Philipp Genschel presented “The Politics of International Solidarity” (w/ Marco Binetti & Katren Rogers): a sharp analysis of how compassion, burden-sharing, and strategy interact.

It was a pleasure exchanging w/ great colleagues about the future of #GlobalGovernance! I had the opportunity to share my analysis of #US withdrawal 🇺🇸 from #multilateralism 🇺🇳 1945-2024 and its consequences. Thanks for the helpful comments and @benjaminfaude.bsky.social & Bernhard for the invite!

Glad to have organised a very engaging workshop on 'Global Governance in an Age of Disorder' at the University of Glasgow together with my colleague Bernhard Reinsberg. Lots of helpful feedback on papers which helped me to understand the current historical moment a bit better. 1/2

I am glad to share that I am joining the Department of Politics and International Studies (POLIS) at the University of Cambridge as a Visiting Scholar the next months.

#Trump's second term and his dramatic proposals to cut the #UN budget are causing great concern about the future of #multilateralism 🇺🇳 For the German Review on the United Nations, I have analyzed Trump 1.0's attacks against the UN: zeitschrift-vereinte-nationen.de/suche/zvn/ar...

"The politics of IO authority transfers" has found a permanent #openaccess home @jeppjournal.bsky.social 🎉 B. Zangl and I develop a Political Contest Theory (PCT) to explain both unilateral #renationalization and informal #internationalization 👇 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

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/...

It was an amazing experience to exchange about current challenges to the #EU 🇪🇺 and its transformations above the Lago Maggiore last week! 🤓🏔️

The workshop "Crises, Contestation, Complexity: International Organizations in the Changing 21st Century" starts in its final day. Yesterday came with lakeside (yet productive) discussions and a roundtable. Thanks to @debremaria.bsky.social and @BernhardZangl from @globalpoliticslmu.bsky.social

Great to see that the summary of my talk "Multilateralism without America? Myths, Reality, and Responses to Trump 2.0" 🇺🇸🌐 at this year's Bensberger Gespräche by @bpb.de is now available online: www.bpb.de/veranstaltun...

How can IOs stabilize cooperation between powerful & weaker states? IOs have balanced power relations though safeguards in the past but now must be adapted to power shifts argue @bendassler.bsky.social, @huysmans.bsky.social & I in our @ecprtheloop.bsky.social piece theloop.ecpr.eu/how-legal-sa...

🏢 International organisations such as the IMF & WHO face many challenges. @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social @bendassler.bsky.social @huysmans.bsky.social argue that institutional rules can help balance power relations ⚖️ & stabilise international cooperation in times of power shifts. ➡️ bit.ly/4c0vEa7

What an amazing workshop and line-up – thanks a lot, @stefwalter.bsky.social and Frank Schimmelfennig, for this great opportunity to exchange about current challenges to the EU and its transformations above the Lago Maggiore!

Goodbye, Chicago! It was a great time at #ISA2025! Besides numerous stimulating exchanges, I had the pleasure to present two recent projects about • #US 🇺🇸 withdrawal from #multilateralism 🇺🇳 • #EU & #UK 🇬🇧🇪🇺 relations after #Brexit👇

The 🇺🇸-🇺🇦 #mineras deal encapsulates Trump's bilateral, transactional "America First" policy. But is the withdrawal from #multilateralism typical #Trump or rather typical #USA? On @br24.de, I talked about Trump 2.0 and his impact on the rules-based int' order: www.ardaudiothek.de/episode/br24...

Regardless who will be elected #Germany's 🇩🇪 next chancellor, they must deal with #Trump 2.0 🇺🇸 moving away from multilateralism & the transatlantic partnership. With ABC Radio National, I talked about the #US withdrawal from int' institutions & a strategy for #Europe: www.abc.net.au/listen/progr...

The Liberal International Order looks more precarious by the day. @bendassler.bsky.social @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social‬ and Andreas Kruck write on the LSE USAPP Blog that preserving it will require giving key states more power to avoid undesirable institutional outcomes.

How can we make global governance 🇺🇳 more resilient in the face of #Trump 2.0 🇺🇸, power shifts, and aggregating geopolitical rivalries ⚔️? In a world where #power is distributed unequally, int' orders must balance the interests of the powerful and the inclusion of the weak!

🥳 🎉 🏆 Congratulations to @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social, who was awarded the @munsecconf.bsky.social's John McCain Dissertation Award at #MSC2025 for his outstanding academic achievements in the field of transatlantic relations!

The #MSC2025 will certainly be remembered as a key turning point in the transatlantic partnership. I am very grateful to the @munsecconf.bsky.social that has invited me to this year’s conference and awarded me the John McCain Dissertation Award!

How will #Trump 2.0 🇺🇸 attack int’ institutions and how will this affect the Liberal Int’ Order? 🌐 I had the pleasure to present insights from my research on the #US ambivalence towards #multilateralism at the Bensberger Gespräche of the @bpb.de: www.bpb.de/veranstaltun...
