Carney and Macron's comments at Davos make clear that leaders are recognising what others have long suspected - that the international order's previously dominant myths have been shattered in recent years. The question is now - what will replace them? www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

@ngellwitzki.bsky.social has published a new article in IPS, exploring how fear and hate are mobilised in public discourse to (de)securitise and (de)politicise, linking macro-level narratives with micro-level affect and action for various political ends academic.oup.com/ips/article-...

Charlie Price and former PAIS PhD Nicolai Gellwitzki argue that fear dominates society due to a lack of positive political vision. To progress, we must transform this fear into hope for a better future. @iai.tv @ngellwitzki.bsky.social @charlieprice.bsky.social

I was a reviewer for this. It is an exceptional piece of scholarship, and I would highly recommend it to anyone interested in security and the politics of emotion. Also very relevant to the United States today...
