From Democracy to Fascism: My new book has arrived in the mail! It is history, but the topic is highly relevant to contemporary political discourse. I hope it will be widely read. It tells a riveting story, but without a Hollywood-style happy ending.
Stephanie Decker reviews Empire, Incorporated, which reinterprets the British Empire by placing the corporation rather than the state at the center of imperial expansion - and shares the book’s relevance for IB scholars and business historians. Read it here: https://rdcu.be/fdP9p

This episode of the AIB Journals Podcast tackles the "geopolitical puzzle," based on a recent JIBP article examining how sources from United Nations voting records to global news sentiment and trade sanctions can track the world's shifting alliances. https://www.podbean.com/ew/pb-hj4ns-1ac3719
Measuring Geopolitics: The Promise and Limits of UNGA Voting Data for IB Research
This episode tackles the "Geopolitical Puzzle," investigating how researchers use everything from United Nations voting records to global news sentiment and trade sanctions to track the world's shifting alliances. You'll learn why a simple "yes" or "no" at the UN can reveal a country’s long-term loyalties, even when quick-moving news headlines suggest a different story. Finally, we explore why understanding these complex diplomatic ties is part of the new survival skill for any business trying to navigate the high-stakes friction of 21st-century global politics.

What a patronizing body language! How can that be a featured children's book? It does though reflect what my daughter says about #hockey boys: they are toxic - stay away. (I hope this is an inappropriate generalization, but ... not sure). Seen at @westernu.ca Bookshop

For no particular reason, I am thinking of Munich today. in 1938, the West celebrated the Munich Agreement as preventing a major war. Historians regard it as a massive failure and "a byword for the futility of appeasing expansionist totalitarian states." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_...
