I am really excited to share my new article at @jisb.bsky.social "Breaking the Mould: Economic Utopias as Pathway to Peace" I argue that economic policy for peacebuilding needs to escape the ever same prescriptions and instead become an inventory of emancipatory possibilities.

@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...
