Read our analysis of the corporatization of peace and security through the example of Trump’s Board of Peace 🫣
Völkerrechtsblog@voelkerrechtsblog.org · 4mo agoJulia Emtseva and Leon Seidl propose a new lens to look at Trump's Board of Peace: corporate law. They argue the BoP resembles a private company rather than an international organization - a shift that they describe as "corporatisation” of peace governance. voelkerrechtsblog.org/the-board-of...

Friends, I am starting a new class on EU governance. I need some help in choosing what to cover for the topics on EU as a Global Actor, EU as a Sovereign, and EU & fundamental rights. Any ideas for readings, case studies, group exercises, or simulations? I would immensely appreciate your insights 🙏
And I want to hear from you about my book proposal that I submitted 8 months ago 🥲
My new article, “The moral economy of global priorities,” is now out in RIPE. It argues that greater attention to #morality in #IPE and global #governance scholarship is needed to understand new dynamics of #privatization and market rule. www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

I watched Bugonia and Musk’s Davos speech in the same day. How to unsee the alien resembles between him and bold Emma Stone send help pls
I have the feeling that Trump tricked everyone when he pushed for the BoP idea in the Gaza Peace Plan UNSC resolution and when it was adopted, he decided that it can now be transformed into the huge machine of alternative United Nations which was sort of encouraged by the original UN itself 🤯
I can’t believe I am living in the age of the rapid death of international law and Macron speaking in Davos wearing aviators

If you thought your rightwing uncle is annoying at the Christmas/new years celebration table, think about Trumps family, where they have to endure his crazy over-holidays ideas like invading another country 🙃
What’s up with this move of Israel to recognize Somaliland? I get it that it’s not a great development in the context of the war in Ukraine but what about Palestine? What about recognizing them?
Bestie @suzanarahde.bsky.social and i wrote a thing about Taylor Swift and feminism as consumerism for @tribunemagazine.bsky.social and you should all go and read it and then also share it (& tell us how great it is tbh because it really is) tribunemag.co.uk/2025/12/is-t...
Is Taylor Swift Leaning Right?

Do you think I can be psychologically not well because I can’t learn French? I did at least 5 different B1 courses and I still don’t speak and I have the conviction that I never will. Even with my average intellect, it can’t be that it’s impossible to learn it? Should I maybe do a therapy first?
