You don't know what to read at the start of the 2026? Well then, have a go at our article which I've co-written with the fantastic duo @sonjapriebus.bsky.social & @lisa-h-anders.bsky.social and recently published in the @jeppjournal.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Venezuela, Gaza, Ukraine, Sudan/South Sudan, Yemen, Lebanon, Syria, Libia, Mali, Central African Republic, Iraq, Afghanistan....we need a new theory of International Relations accounting for bullying in the world order and big state dominance. (Neo)Realism doesn't cut it anymore in the 21st century!

Delighted that my paper "The advent of polity conditionality as a new form of internal governance in the European Union", co-authored with @lisa-h-anders.bsky.social and Neculai-Cristian Surubaru has been published with @jeppjournal.bsky.social!
