📢Publication alert!📢 I have a small part in this forum on Charlotte Epstein's excellent book 'The Birth of the State'.✨ doi.org/10.1177/0010... I was invited to reflect on the link between her argument and ontological security - not an easy task and probably the hardest 2,000 words of my life. 1/2

Why did Sweden join NATO? This new article in JIRD argues that non-alignment clashed with deeper identity constructs after Russia's invasion of Ukraine and Finland's NATO bid. Joining NATO helped resolve the clash, thus restoring ontological security for many Swedes. tinyurl.com/yjnxdj3x

@yeonjujung.bsky.social is defending her PhD dissertation!

Last year, @profgustafsson.bsky.social and I published this article on how to deal with the insecurity of doing research. It is now assigned to an issue of European Political Science. It’s Open Access, so please feel free to download a copy or recommend to students! link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Can’t wait to read this piece. As someone who writes about and mentors learners on how to craft research questions and show contributions to the literature, this seems a timely piece.

I have an issue. Or, more specifically, this article I published together with Linus Hagström now has an issue! It is now out (open access) in the latest issue of European Political Science. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Excited to receive this in the mail! Well done @yeonjujung.bsky.social !

Beyond excited to see my co-authored, with the one and only Maria Mälksoo, article ‘Memory Political Deterrence: Shielding Collective Memory and Ontological Security through Dissuasion’ finally published in International Studies Quarterly academic.oup.com/isq/article/...

It is open to PhD students in Sweden working on contemporary issues in East & Southeast Asia. The deadline is 20 February 2024. www.graduateschoolasianstudies.lu.se/activities/p...

What a terrific idea for an article

From a journal perspective: The ‘why’ and the ‘and so what’ sets the tone of a paper; good articles provide clear answers to these question very early. There are many interesting thoughts in this article here.👇 Valid for open access publication with us too: sjms.nu/about #PolSky #CivMilSky

In this new article in European Political Science, @linushagstrom.bsky.social and I discuss the role of anxiety in the research process, focusing in particular on the development of research problems. The article is a sequel to our previous article rdcu.be/doG4t with which it critically engages.
