🌐 New conflicts are erupting, relations between great powers are becoming increasingly tense, and the old international order is coming apart. Today's seminar explored shifts in the international order by focusing on the ordering visions of the United States, China, India, Turkey, and Russia.

Will Donald Trump divide and rule a Europe that is too weak to stand on its own feet? My take in @foreignpolicy.com foreignpolicy.com/2025/01/30/e...

Read Niklas Helwig's new book "The EU High Representative: Foreign Policy Leadership in a Changing World" for an analytical approach to the role of EU High Representative since the Lisbon Treaty 🔗 link.springer.com/book/10.1007... #PublicationOfTheDay📚 @fiia-upi.bsky.social

#PublicationOfTheDay📚 👉 National sovereignty, economic nationalism, devolution, and the unmooring of power. 4️⃣ key lenses through which the new US administration should be viewed, argue @charlyjsp.bsky.social & @sinkkonenville.bsky.social from @fiia-upi.bsky.social 🔗 fiia.fi/en/publicati...

DAY 1. Trump's approach to international institutions could be summed up in two E's: exit and extortion. Nothing new here - 45 & 47 being true to form.

1-11 My summary of Trumps' inauguration speech: America and the world will get a lot of what it says on the tin: policies and actions rooted in nationalism and especially economic nationalism, with a big dose of cultural conservatism to please the old guard.

The 2nd Trump administration is likely to embrace disruption and chaos to achieve revolutionary rather than evolutionary change, @charlyjsp.bsky.social & Ville Sinkkonen say in a new FIIA Briefing Paper. They provide four lenses for observing the administration's strategy. ➡️ fiia.fi/en/publicati...
