once again I must tap my own sign

if not for this, come to listen what @cschwobelpatel.bsky.social @letizialogiacco.bsky.social @uribejuanita.bsky.social Nina Bries Silva and Kirsten Campbell think about the project 🤭

If you are interested in how private actors get involved in global justice processes or in what to do to transform a thesis into a book, join us in person at @eui-eu.bsky.social or online, where I will be presenting my book project www.eui.eu/events?id=57...

Muy contenta de participar el próximo martes en un conversatorio organizado por la Universidad de los Andes para conversar sobre mi capítulo en el nuevo libro "Ways of Seeing International Organisations", Negar Mansouri, @drqv.bsky.social, @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org Inscripciones: lnkd.in/e7EcQ77X

It was great to be part of this interdisciplinary conversation at the EUI on the present and future of international institutions, alongside such a brilliant group of scholars and colleagues. Special thanks to @maxlesch.bsky.social @jemtseva.bsky.social @eui-eu.bsky.social for the invitation!

Kudos to @jemtseva.bsky.social, @maxlesch.bsky.social and others at @eui-eu.bsky.social for organizing this fantastic interdisciplinary workshop on the present and future of int’l institutions & bringing together critical legal and IR scholars.

Great to see this volume out! Grateful to have contributed a chapter, and many thanks to the editors Negar Mansouri & Daniel R. Quiroga Villamarin @drqv.bsky.social for bringing it all together. www.cambridge.org/core/books/w...

going to start posting more academic stuff, starting with some papers I've read recently This analysis by @uribejuanita.bsky.social on the managerialist lineages of multistakeholder governance is fantastic, connecting the dots between deliberative democracy and neoliberalism

As the IMO @imohq.bsky.social negotiates this week on how to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in international shipping, a reminder: Fuelling ships on #biofuels is a terrible idea that could worsen global #hunger & inequality—say our @deschuttero.bsky.social & @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social.

🌴⛽🚢 #Biofuels for shipping? A disaster for #foodsecurity, inequality, & the #climate. 📢 The shipping industry’s decarbonization must not come at the cost of people’s right to food—say @jennifer-clapp.bsky.social & @deschuttero.bsky.social www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/i... @imohq.bsky.social

Incredibly moved that @anaprokhorov.bsky.social and @raffaelemstr.bsky.social secretly orchestrated my nomination for ISA’s J. Ann Tickner award. Warm thanks to all of you who supported the nomination. I still can’t believe it. @eui-sps.bsky.social @eui-schuman.bsky.social

Kicked off #ISA2025 with a great Geneva @gvagrad.bsky.social reunion—this time in Chicago, over some deep-dish pizza. I look forward to presenting my book project on the politics of multistakeholderism and engaging in discussions on visa inequalities and the politics of expertise!

Just a delightful visit to EUI @eui-ggp.bsky.social today. Thanks again you so much @stephofmann.bsky.social and participants in the seminar for generously reading and commenting on my work! 🙏🍷 @maxlesch.bsky.social Brian Rathbun @uribejuanita.bsky.social and many others!

In @eui-eu.bsky.social this week presenting a new paper draft. Join if you can! I’d love your feedback.Working on this project has provided solace amidst global chaos. Thanks to the Stephanie Hofmann 🙏🏻 for the invite. @campolis.bsky.social @christscollegecam.bsky.social www.eui.eu/events?id=57...

Super excited to be spending the next months as a Visiting Fellow at the EUI @eui-eu.bsky.social in beautiful Florence! Looking forward to research, writing, and, for the first time since moving to Europe, a lighter winter!

Trump is bullying—and arguably violating the prohibition on intervention with respect to—Panama, Colombia, and Mexico. As Oliver Stuenkel points out, even most right-wing governments will seek to diversify partnerships to limit their exposure to Trump. THREAD 1/6 🧵

It’s Colombia, not Columbia. And those so-called “criminals” you send back are the humans and workers who keep your economy running. Human dignity is not negotiable.

Hunger is political—it's not a technological problem. Technology can’t fix who decides who eats. Technology can't uproot the deep inequalities that keep people hungry. You can’t invent your way out of inequality. www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

Políticas que mejoren las condiciones salariales de los trabajadores = malas para la economía, populismo, ideología. Políticas que mejoren las ganancias de los empresarios = buenas para la economía, ciencia, objetividad.

“Amazon, Microsoft y Google, las grandes dominadoras de la nube, controlan el 70% del mercado mundial, y el porcentaje no es mayor porque no pueden operar en China. Estas compañías están monopolizando el desarrollo de la IA”, cuenta esta investigadora

Just two months till my new book, Titans of Industrial Agriculture (MIT Press) is out! I outline how just a few giant firms came to dominate the farm machinery, fertilizer, seeds and pesticides industries, and the consequences of corporate power in those sectors. mitpress.mit.edu/978026255170...

Forthcoming book! So thankful for great cooperation with authors, a wonderful/thoughtful/perfectly demanding anonymous peer reviewer and a our amazing editor Zoe Forbes and great team at @brisunipress.bsky.social. @pauldavidbeaumont.bsky.social @mattuq.bsky.social @mattkranke.bsky.social

Thought I'd have a go at this starter pack thing...pls share and let me know if you'd like to join! go.bsky.app/3vj4Fnb

Must Read!

A summary of my RIS @risjnl.bsky.social paper "Governing on par with states" is now available on the BISA website! Check it out if you are interested in learning more about how corporations, businesses, and philanthropies normalize their role in global politics. www.bisa.ac.uk/articles/gov...

I am old-fashioned so I dislike using the term “diplomacy” to include non-state actors. Why? As discussed below, their goals & interests are different from those of states. Broad use of the term diplomacy to include non-state actors entrenches normalization & obscures rather than clarifies.

Political science for public health: How corporations & private philanthropies take on a central role in global policy making alongside states. "private actors are increasingly refashioning the boundaries of political normalcy in a way that their presence comes to be taken for granted."

I'll give a talk at the Geneva Graduate Institute @gvagrad.bsky.social on Thursday, 12 December. "Are liberal orders self-defeating?" is the small question for the afternoon. If you are around, do consider joining the conversation! Looking forward to it! www.graduateinstitute.ch/communicatio...

Let's make this a thing! Folks researching the political economy of food and agriculture. Let me know if you should be added to this list! go.bsky.app/GykU1LD

The Syllabus has an interesting new page on The Post-neoliberal Moment with a range of curated syllabi on (to simplify) the relationship between #bigtech #platforms & #neoliberalism Well worth a browse www.the-syllabus.com/ts-spotlight...

My RIPE @ripejournal.bsky.social article "Excluding through Inclusion" has now an issue. Check it out if you are interested in the politics of multistakeholderism and the new roles assumed by #consultancies in global governance! www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Exciting new article by @uribejuanita.bsky.social on the way private actors normalize their governing roles in global food governance!

This new article by @uribejuanita.bsky.social looks really great, looking forward to reading it! 👇

🚨New First View Article🚨 "Governing on par with states: Private power and practices of political normalisation" by @uribejuanita.bsky.social is now available #OpenAccess! 📜➡️ buff.ly/3CH1ivO

This makes me think that these 'private actors' have figured out a way of breaking the once very tight link between legitimacy and territory, expressed in the notion of sovereignty and embodied politically by nation-states. Corporations don't rely on identity to legitimise their power. (1/)

Looking forward to reading this important piece 😁

How did multinational #corporations manage to be seen as indispensable stakeholders in global #food governance - rather than as part of the problem to be governed? 👇👇

Excited to share my new paper “Governing on par with states” published #openaccess in RIS @risjnl.bsky.social. I examine how private actors have shifted from entities to be regulated to being viewed as necessary part of solutions to global problems. 1/5 ⬇️ doi.org/10.1017/S026...

Excellent piece on passport inequality and the illusory sense of equality in academia.
