Super excited to see this strong pre-release review of my new book by Publishers Weekly. "Weaving a staggering amount of history into a propulsive narrative that recasts the 20th century as a long struggle for liberation, this is a towering achievement." www.publishersweekly.com/9781324092452

Great piece by Michael Williams on Trump's continentalism and its possible consequences for Canada.

This may be difficult for some to read, but critical self-examination is important in the global war over who seizes final power in mismanaging the living world. We need to “outgrow modernity” (ref to Vanessa Machado de Oliveira forthcoming book).

New article on dystopia and the radical right 👇 by @rita-abrahamsen.bsky.social and Michael C. Williams Continuing theme from their overarching project, they find radical right using 'critical dystopias' (a la Tom Moylan, etc) for non-progressive ends #utopiainIR academic.oup.com/isagsq/artic...

Timely article by @rita-abrahamsen.bsky.social & M. Williams: "Radical Right Dystopias in the Global Culture Wars" @gsqjournal.bsky.social "critical dystopias" are integral to "the radical Right's ideological critique of managerialism and liberal globalization" doi.org/10.1093/isag...

Former Wagner media operative lifts the lid on Russian disinformation in CAR - RFI (This testimony was collected as part of an investigation coordinated by Forbidden Stories) www.rfi.fr/en/africa/20...

Fabulous talk by Michael Williams on “The crisis of the conservative international order”. We dived into ideological spaces and compositions - as well as their practices. Just curious to know where Elon Musk fits in all of this (enjoying my first bsky tweet)

“I’m Moving to Bluesky” may be the new “I’m Moving to Canada.”

Wicked pleased to see our book World of the Right reviewed by John Ikenberry in Foreign Affairs (alongside Anne Appelbaum) www.foreignaffairs.com/reviews/two-...

This global take on the contemporary rise of radical conservatism looks really good.

Great to see our book listed by @newstatesman.com among the best from university presses this autumn 📚 newstatesman.com/culture/book...
