No bigger concepts than "Great Power" and "multipolarity". This piece highlights how the two intersect...to disastrous results www.worldpoliticsreview.com/us-trump-rus...

Great Power stupidity might be unavoidable, simply because the international system is complex. Even when it is "rational", it can still not result in "smart" decisions. www.worldpoliticsreview.com/foreign-poli...

With the holiday, no new column this week. Instead, here's a 🧵 highlighting some of the @wpr.bsky.social pieces I've written so far this year and how they can be used to teach International Relations concepts.

Looking forward to hearing you, indeed on a powerful panel on planting, eating and resisting together with Mariia Banko speaking on cooking, solidarity and resistance, Saltanat Shoshanova on the queeering of traditional food rituals and Maya Hayda on artistic engagements with seeds and displacement

New book on #infrastructure and #international_relations out now - including my reflections on how infrastructural development has enabled (re)formations of #international_society. Check it out! @iratut.bsky.social @unituebingen.bsky.social link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Delighted to say that at the upcoming RUTA Conference (@associationruta.bsky.social)I will present my poetry project, "A Song of Sunrise and Blood: Cartographies of Terror, Endurance and Revival"! It covers my poems on Ukraine, mapping wartime terrors, grief, and resilience through verse. See you!

Publication Alert 📝 New article with @lucasschramm91.bsky.social in @wepsocial.bsky.social It contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of the dynamics of differentiation in the EU. Case studies from EMU & Schengen show how issue-specific incentives lead to atypical integration patterns.

The very presence of Crimean Tatars on their ancestral land is an act of resistance. How will the next generation, born and raised under occupation, define its reality, and what is the most desirable future for Crimea? Join us for a webinar with Emine Ziyatdin, Maria Shynkarenko and Suleiman Mamutov

The lack of expertise on East-Central Europe - or perhaps more precisely the lack of recognition that expertise is actually needed - across sectors, from the media to arts to academia, is often breathtaking… including the too often terrible pronunciation of people’s names once it gets to spoken word

We're still looking forward to seeing your abstracts! Deadline: 20th March. #EISAPEC25 See you in Bologna! 😃 @europeanisa.bsky.social

To oszałamiające zdjęcie uchwyciło eteryczne piękno kultowego efektu „firefall” w Parku Narodowym #Yosemite, gdzie światło słoneczne lub księżycowe oświetla Horsetail Fall, sprawiając, że świeci jak roztopiona lawa. Magia natury w najlepszym wydaniu.

🔥 New forum: "Decentring Agency in World Politics: Writing for Reflexivity as a Collective Experiment" @journalpariss.bsky.social We explore writing practices that foster reflexivity within readers. We focus on one reflexive process: decentring & one problem: the denial of non-Western agency 🤓

"The idea that the world is more complex now than in the 1970s and 1980s is, of course, horse-sh&t. Sullivan was presented with a world in which the US had very few security concerns as a nation and far greater freedom of action.” @PhillipsPOBrien open.substack.com/pub/phillips...

🎄 DEC 24: Christmas Island Where better to talk about on Christmas Eve than Christmas Island? The island was first named by William Mynors of the East India Company who sailed past in 1643 on Christmas Day. 🧵 (1/x)

Merry Christmas, American Air is experiencing a computer outage, so I will be drinking Bloody Marys somewhere in O’Hare for an unspecified amount of time.

🎤 Neues Interview zum zib-Sonderheft „Der russische Angriffskrieg gegen die Ukraine und die Internationalen Beziehungen" mit den Autor:innen @elvirarosert.bsky.social und @thomasdiez.bsky.social - jetzt ansehen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=jDIS...

ISIS killed 145 in Moscow after Putin was warned by USA they'd attack Russia. So naturally RT is also going after me because of the German attack. That's because the purpose of Russia Today is to prevent you finding out what happens in Russia today.

In the 1980s–90s, many previously prominent social scientific questions on power and inequality faded into the background. Our brand-new article w/ @phdskat.org at @ripejournal.bsky.social probes into this dynamic through the concept of 'corporate escape' 🧵 1/10 www.tandfonline.com/doi/metrics/...

The moral and intellectual collapse of "distinguished service professor" John Mearsheimer has reached a stunning new depth. He now shares a platform with Russian fascist ideologue Aleksandr Dugin - who proceeds to play Mearsheimer and his fans like a fiddle by mirroring JM's idiotic arguments. 1-2
