Almost time to join friends and colleagues in Bologna for the #EISAPEC2025  – without hiding that this is truly my favorite conference of the year! I’ll be presenting some of my work on visual tropes in the narratives of #COVID19 and on #Russia’s promotion of #cyber norms.

Just found out - via an email from a colleague 🙃 - that my 2024 ISA presidential address has finally been published in @isq-jrnl.bsky.social.

When AI Decides Who Lives and Dies

The Israeli military’s algorithmic targeting has created dangerous new precedents.

The most prominent real-time laboratory for using A.I. in warfare is in Israel, where computer programs have helped choose targets. But there’s no way to verify the I.D.F.’s claims of precise targeting, a lecturer at Ben Gurion-University and a critic of the I.D.F. newyorkermag.visitlink.me/yfZvan

Some highlights of my last hectic days on Seoul. An invitation to the Italian embassy at #ROK, a roundtable at the @hankukuniv.bsky.social on EU-ASIA economic security nexus and a great panel at #IPSA2025 on “Navigating the Impact of Strategic Technology in International Relations”.

Truly meaningful day visiting the #UnitedNations Memorial Cemetery and the special exhibition on the indipendente movement and Beomeosa Temple at the #Busan Museum of History. Both powerful reminder of key moments in Korean history. #ROK

I am thrilled to be visiting South Korea, attending the #IPSA2025 conference and joining what sounds like a very fascinating roundtable discussion at #HankukUniversityofForeignStudies! Can't wait! Despite all the stressful times, it's at moments like this that I remember why I love my job... 🩵

If you find yourself complaining about how stressful the #publication process in #academia is, and how long you have to wait for reviews of your articles, a good solution would be to accept invitations to review articles yourself (and providing constructive feedback, but that's another story). 1/

Coming back home after a very enjoyable and productive 48hrs of discussions at #EUAI, where I presented our work on EU normative approaches to AI. It was good to see friends & colleagues, to meet new ones, and even enjoyed the (not always, but still...) sunny days in Brussels. Great organization!

I assigned @flavialucenti.bsky.social's 2024 article on representations of the 'China Threat' to my course reading list this year, and in the student assignments...it was a hit! (A fraction of them pasted here). Not surprising, it's really good Check it out: link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Dear colleagues, I’m reaching out to share an ethical dilemma I’m currently grappling with, and I'd deeply value the perspective of the #IR community. As invitations to join panels for the next #ISA conference begin to arrive, I find myself conflicted. 1/

Such a treat writing a chapter on R2P contestation with Jonas Fritzler 🎊 While much of the literature focuses on prominent R2P critics (RUS + CHN), we highlight that even cases of "soft contestation" can undermine robustness when voiced by its former norm entrepreneurs: CAN + SWE
