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 !
All set for our workshop “Revisiting the Rules-Based Order’s Crisis: Contemporary Challenges, Historical Precedent and Lessons for EU’s Future” (#EUI, Emeroteca, June 16-17)

Germany loses vote for UN Security Council seat
Fifteen of the 193 UN member states sit on the UN Security Council. Germany was in competition with Austria and Portugal for two seats in the "Western Europe and Others" group.

🎙️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!

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!
This piece nicely extends the argument that @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social and I make in "Destruction or Renewal? Trumpism and the Future of Global Governance." Do give our piece a read if the topic interests you: link.springer.com/article/10.1...
Destruction or renewal? Trumpism and the future of global governance - Global Public Policy and Governance
This paper assesses the impact of Trumpism on global governance. Although Trump II poses an even greater challenge than Trump I, we argue that the continued decline of global governance and the resurg...

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.
Highly interesting paper - congrats! But as you asked researchers for delving more into the conditions under which #scapegoating is successful: a lot of the lit on the topic already suggests (& tests) a moderation effect of characteristics of those receiving the communication. /1
