Presented my paper on the reconfiguration of authoritarianism in post-war Azerbaijan at #IPSA2025 in Seoul. Great wrap of conference season!

In mezzo a tanti ottimi contributi, ci sono anch'io con un pezzo dal titolo "La trappola geopolitica" sui limiti del binarismo Occidente-Russia in Georgia.

Whose security does a 'geopolitical' European Union serve in Armenia, and how is this received by people on the ground? Happy and proud to see my contribution to the SI "Critical perspectives on the EU's global role" finally published in @jcms-eu.bsky.social 👇 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10....

🛫 I've got a new research article out in Mobilities, as part of a special issue on the Caucasus (check it out!!) www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... Title : "Pax Logistica? Mapping the interplay between war, peace and infrastructure in Azerbaijan after the 2nd Karabakh war (2020–2023)"

1/ My recently published article @ifjpglobal.bsky.social studies how feminist activists in #Armenia negotiate the European Union's interventions to combat domestic violence amidst competing pressures. A thread👇 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... @giesugent.bsky.social @dfuturevub.bsky.social

Happy to see my contribution to the @jcms-eu.bsky.social Special Issue “Towards Allyship in Diversity? Critical Perspectives on the European Union's Global Role” published. doi.org/10.1111/jcms...

Had a packed week at #EUIA25: presented my work on EU (in)security in post-2020 Armenia (coming soon @jcms-eu.bsky.social -stay tuned!) & discussed brilliant papers by @dfuturevub.bsky.social colleagues. We also stood in solidarity with Gaza & against academic complicity in the ongoing genocide.

Don’t miss our 2 panels in #EUIA25! We’ll be sharing early findings from the forthcoming SI we've guest edited in @jcms-eu.bsky.social with @norafisheronar.bsky.social and @dhuber.bsky.social "Allyship in Diversity? Critical Perspectives on the #EU’s role as a Global Actor". @aissr.bsky.social

It was great to be part of the panel "Outsourced Empire? Questioning Norms and Values of EU External Relations" at #EUIA2025 with DFUTURE colleagues. In times of genocide, we refused to carry on with “conference as usual", a small but necessary act of refusal against complicity.
