Very happy to answer any questions about this opportunity. It's a great role and doing it has certainly made me a much better writer.

We're looking for someone with a PhD in the area of European security, who is well organised with good communication skills. If you've quantitative skills / an area of expertise that adds to our existing team, we'd particularly like to hear from you. We can offer a set amount of editorial expenses.

We are looking for an associate editor to join @jocelynmawdsley.bsky.social @laurachappell.bsky.social & @dimitrisbouris.bsky.social in editing European Security. Interested in getting editorial experience? More info here: think.taylorandfrancis.com/editor_recru... Deadline 31/10/25.

This but also as a journal editor, it's depressing how much time we have to spend trying to police research misconduct now. Especially as for the AI stuff there's no consequences.

On the train home from #UACES2025. Thank you to everyone who participated in the European Security track - hopefully see you at other @seceur-uaces.bsky.social events. Loved returning 'home' to Liverpool too!

After last year's bus + ferry + 4 x trains trek to Trento, getting on a direct train to Liverpool for #uaces2025 feels like a bit of an anti-climax!

#UACES2025 starts on Monday in Liverpool. Once again, a range of brilliant panels. Many of them in our themed track on European security. I hope to see many of you there to discuss foreign interference, small state specialisation, and many other topics. @uaces.bsky.social @seceur-uaces.bsky.social

We're looking forward to seeing lots of the network in Liverpool next week for #UACES2025! We've organised 10 panels so there should be lots of great discussion on European security.

New OA article: The transnationalisation of military leaders in Central and Eastern Europe and EURO-Atlantic integration by @tomaskucera.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

This is great reading. It offers a very limited hope that European defence may ever work, but it does not rule it out entirely, so that's a relief. It's also slightly depressing research-wise. The complexity of it all almost prevents any meaningful understanding. In any case, go and read it!

Why are Microsoft obsessed with making their software utterly unusable? It cannot seem to cope with me having a personal and a professional outlook account, and every update makes things worse.

New OA article: Don’t count on the U.S.: can Russia achieve a rapid breakthrough in central Europe? by @jankofron.bsky.social & @stauberj.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

1/ 🧵 Can Europe defend itself if the U.S. steps back? Our new study asks: Can European NATO members alone stop a Russian breakthrough in Poland? We model two scenarios and here’s what we found 👇

One of the joys of the #EWIS2025 workshop format is that you get to hang out for two days with people who are equally as nerdishly fascinated by a topic as you are...

V proud of 3 of our students who've been working with staff and @sightsavers.bsky.social, on an analysis of inclusion in climate focused international aid projects. They've written up early findings for a parliamentary inquiry, published here - committees.parliament.uk/writtenevidence/141909/pdf/

What have I missed while marking today... Ah I'm not apparently White British. OK I think I can just about live with not being in the same club as Goodwin. But I think I'll just go back to the essays - they make much more sense.
