This is my latest piece in The Loop @ecpr.bsky.social based on recent fieldwork in Argentina 🇦🇷. Thank you to all the officials and informants who shared their insights with me. @edinburghpir.bsky.social

Honoured to be part of @3sat.bluesky.com.de Kulturzeit on Trump & how psychology helps decode leaders like him. As strongman politics rise, it’s great to see psychology getting airtime. I don’t speak German, so here’s hoping the subtitles were kind😅 www.zdf.de/video/magazi...

Leadership in #Africa & the #MiddleEast is complex. Join us to discuss oz7777.bsky.social & drcanbolat.bsky.social's award-winning book, where they profile 14 leaders, explore connections between #Political ideologies & offer insights into #Negotiations: buff.ly/TRVjCdX

🚨 It’s time to put political psychology back at the center of global analysis. My new commentary out today with @rusi.bsky.social : "Bringing the Leader Back In: The Case for Political Psychology in International Affairs" Understanding who leads matters more than ever @edinburghpir.bsky.social

Impressed by the quality of UG Politics & IR dissertations at @edinburghpir.bsky.social; proof of what brilliant students & committed staff can achieve. This is exactly what job cuts & closures risk destroying. Senior management must reconsider before causing irreversible harm.

It baffles me that some political analysts and journalists are still questioning whether Trump is serious about his promises. Are we living in the same world?

Pleased to share my blog piece with International Affairs @iajournal.bsky.social, linking my current Leverhulme Trust @leverhulme.bsky.social research on how leaders change, my previous IA article on breaking bad, and Trump 2.0 medium.com/internationa...

It would be quite ironic if the Conservatives were the ones to put the Brexit issue back on the table, while Labour continued to avoid the topic. Such a crucial issue that has been painfully absent from the discussion.

I was lucky to have been asked to review this book “Leaders in the Middle East and North Africa: How Ideology Shapes Foreign Policy” by Özgür Özdamar and @drcanbolat.bsky.social You can read it here 👇🏽 academic.oup.com/psq/advance-...

Debo decir que los buses chilenos no tienen nada que envidiarle a los de Reino Unido y me atrevo a decir a Europa en general, todo lo contrario, ojalá hubiesen buses así para no quedar con la espalda en la mano cuando se viaja 🇨🇱 ❤️

Today, the assisted dying bill is being debated in the House of Commons. One argument against it questions whether the National Health Service can manage the costs. Ironically, the NHS lacks the funds to assist people in dying and is also struggling to keep people alive. Total failure.

Here's quite a good basic briefing on the university crisis which is now shifting from the chronic to the acute stage. Basically, central government has to do something now, or regret it for a very long time. theweek.com/education/uk...
