At today's lecture in the IDEoPOP doctoral network, Fred Söderbaum and I talked about our own research and the state-of-the-art on populism and international organizations. As always, the PhD candidates brought up interesting viewpoints and thought-provoking questions. Thanks for having us!

International Theory abstract discussing the democratic potential of global network governance, its ethical challenges, and its impact on humanitarian actions in Southeast Asia.

🧠 As the world changes, we need to adapt our thinking about the potential for democracy beyond the nation state. 📘 Excited to share this new open access article in International Theory! ❓️In it, I ask: How can we think about democracy when governing happens in informal, transboundary networks?

An exciting week comes to an end: on Tuesday, we had the first session of our lecture series on #populism in the IDEoPOP MSCA doctoral network! Many thanks to Cristóbal Rovira Kaltwasser for delivering the first lecture in the series!!

So once again, the narrative is more complicated than Vance bad, EU good. Vance most certainly is bad. But the case for the EU is arguable, given its adoption of the far-right's agenda on migration and its willingness to ignore many of Meloni's excesses in return for "good behavior" on Ukraine.
