I was so very sad to hear about William Connolly’s death. Bill was such an amazing and inspiring human being. He was someone who always tried to live according to his ethical philosophy - cultivating a remarkable generosity of spirit in himself that brought it out in those around him.

I'm so pleased to have this open access article out, "Failure-proof or failure-prone? The paradoxes of global biodiversity institutions" in Review of International Studies (@risjnl.bsky.social) with Sylvain Maechler!

Sylvain Maechler@sylvainmaechler.bsky.social · 11mo ago

Why do global environmental institutions multiply and persist even when they seem unable to address biodiversity loss and environmental governance failures effectively? Our new OA article with @jacquelinebest.bsky.social in @risjnl.bsky.social tries to answer this question. 1/7 cup.org/4hZNlcX

I think the academic community can help US academics, as well as academia in general, by providing safe haven for datasets that are being targeted by the Trump administration.

The new frontline | Transnational Institute

Current geopolitical competition has deepened into a Second Cold War between US and China, but this is no longer a fight over territory but rather control of global networks – with increased state-led attempts to control semiconductor supply chains and electric vehicle (EV) production to digital platforms, transport infrastructure, and financial payment systems. How can the global South and social movements navigate this new geopolitical terrain?

The new international competition aims "to reshape and exert control over the global economic networks that undergird globalisation", argue @iliasalami.bsky.social, @jessicadicarlo.bsky.social, @sethschindler.bsky.social & Steve Rolf in State of Power 2025 (ch 2): www.tni.org/en/publicati...

An unelected shadow government is conducting a hostile takeover of the federal government. DOGE is not a real government agency. DOGE has no authority to make spending decisions. DOGE has no authority to shut programs down or to ignore federal law. DOGE’s conduct cannot be allowed to stand.

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...
