What is left of #multilateralism today? And can it be reinvented? 🇺🇳 Ahead of #UNGA81, I will present my answers to these questions based on my research on the #contestation and #resilience of multilateral institutions at @columbiauniversity.bsky.social (16 Sept #NYC & online).
Does international #cooperation collapse without #greatpower support? Evidence from the past 80 years suggests otherwise! I spoke with @gatool.bsky.social for @decorrespondent.nl about how #US 🇺🇸 withdrawal challenges #multilateralism 🇺🇳 – and why its fate also rests with #Europe! 🇪🇺
Happening today👇 Looking forward to the @atlantakademie.bsky.social Lunch Lecture on 9/11 and to discuss with @davidsirakov.bsky.social how it shaped #US relation towards "its" #order #LIO! Join us at 12:00 online to learn more about how we came from liberal #hegemony to illiberal #unilateralism!
📅 Lunch lecture 7.9.26 @atlantakademie.bsky.social: Was 9/11 the beginning of the end of the liberal, #US-led world #order? When the Twin Towers collapsed, the US stood at the height of its unipolar dominance. 25 years later, little remains of that order…

The next #UNSG 🇺🇳 must navigate stormy waters 🌊 Participating in the Guidance and Regional Intelligence for the Transition of #UN Leadership consultations of @unfoundation.org, #Cepei, @nyucic.bsky.social #CIC, #KAS, @idos-research.bsky.social #IDOS was a highly rewarding and insightful experience!
Is the #EU 🇪🇺 a responsible actor in the #MiddleEast? A new paper by Sandra Bandemer explores this question by studying the #European self creation and empowerment in the #discourse on the #war in #Gaza. doi.org/10.5771/0946...
How should #Europe🇪🇺 adapt its foreign and security policy to thrive in a world increasingly marked by #geopolitics and #multipolarity? a) Side with #US🇺🇸 against #China🇨🇳 in a #ColdWar 2.0? b) Focus on #autonomy & ad hoc coalitions? c) Save #multilateralism 🇺🇳 with small & #middlepower partners?

Is the rules-based #order over? 🇺🇳 – Not yet, but it faces a crucial turning point and its fate is also in the hands of #Europe! 🇪🇺 This was the key takeaway of my talk at the #Pfalzakademie Lambrecht today: www.atlantische-akademie.de/susc26
Are #middlepower alliances between like-minded actors, such as #Europe 🇪🇺 and #Canada 🇨🇦, a viable pathway into a future marked by increased geopolitical rivalry? For a talk at the #AkademieSchwerin, I critically revisited some common assumptions in Western capitals…
The rules-based #order is not doomed to fail – its fate rests with #middlepowers who can fill the gap left by the #US under #Trump! 📖 This is a key takeaway from my book, "After Exit: US withdrawal and alternative leadership," which is now under contract with Oxford University Press #OUP!
How does the massive #US disengagement under #Trump challenge multilateral institutions? What are the costs and opportunities? And are other powers, such as #China or #Europe willing and able to fill the void? It was a pleasure discussing these and other questions with @jenkirby.bsky.social:
It’s a wrap! Over the last two days, we discussed the current #crisis of the rules-based #order, historical precedents, and perspectives for the future of the #EU. I could not have hoped for a better finale to the academic year @eui-eu.bsky.social #EUI !
🎙️Podcast: The crisis of the rules-based #order and #multilateralism, shifts in #US foreign and #security policy – and how they are also reflected in US popular culture🇺🇸🎶 For this & more, tune in to the latest episode of #KörberStiftung #ListentoWissen / #ByteFM "Wissen"!
📢 Workshop next week: “Revisiting the Rules-Based Order’s Crisis: Contemporary Challenges, Historical Precedent and Lessons for the EU’s Future” (@eui-eu.bsky.social #EUI, June 16-17) www.eui.eu/events?id=58...

🎙️Podcast interview: How has #Trump 🇺🇸 changed world politics? And how can #Germany 🇩🇪 & #Europe 🇪🇺 cope with growing #uncertainty and #greatpower competition? About these & other questions, I talked with Caro Matzko for #ARD Alpha "Science TeaTime" of course over a cup of tea!
📣Call for mentorships Female doctoral candidates and students at #LMU Faculty of Social Sciences can apply until 1 July! As a mentor, I would be delighted to support you in pursuing your career within and outside academia! #GenderEquality #MentorHer #Gleichberechtigung
Happy to start a new project with @idos-research.bsky.social #IDOS on how IOs and their member states can respond to #US withdrawal under #Trump 2.0!

Has #Trump rendered established #IR theories obsolete? Today, I had the pleasure to discuss theories of #US #foreignpolicy and their continued value to understand current developments from the war against #Iran to the withdrawal from #multilateralism!
First time for me as a guest in a TV studio, discussing how uncertain our world has become since #Trump took office with Caro Matzko for the #ARD Alpha Show "Science TeaTime" at the @brkommunikation.bsky.social #BR yesterday!
It was great to be back in New York to discuss with #UN 🇺🇳, #EU 🇪🇺 & member state officials about the budget crisis, #UN80 reforms, and how #Europe can contribute to the #resilience of #multilateralism in the shadow of #US withdrawals. Three insights from my conversations 👇
Discussing the #US 🇺🇸 #EU 🇪🇺 relationship with colleagues from both sides of the Atlantic over the last two days at the workshop "The Deep Structure of Transatlantic Relations" at @princeton.edu's SPIA DC Center was a very insightful experience! lisd.princeton.edu/events/deep-...
It’s a wrap! Over the weekend, we discussed #blame games in IOs, their protagonists, strategies, determinants, and consequences for #legitimacy and #accountability with a view of beautiful Lake Starnberg.
Can governments scapegoat the #IMF 🌐 to avoid domestic #blame for austerity policies? 🏦📉 In a study with @rodabouharb.bsky.social @uclspp.bsky.social & Bernhard Reinsberg @uofgsocsci.bsky.social, published in @gsqjournal.bsky.social #GSQ, we put this claim to a test: doi.org/10.1093/isag...
