Never had the pleasure of meeting David Malone, but we corresponded and he had an incredibly generous mind. May his soul rest in peace!

Just heard about Ambassador David Malone’s passing. An incredible academic & practitioner. I had the chance to first meet him when he was HC to India. He gave me very important advice on my PhD career, had always been supportive of my work & contributed an excellent chapter to an HB I edited. RIP!

Why do some EU members “care” more about the 🇮🇱-🇵🇸 conflict than others?

Together with @valeriovignoli.bsky.social and @irena-kalhousova.bsky.social , we argue this is due to domestic polarization, demography and trade patterns.

🎉 Excited to share that “Europe’s Nuclear Umbrella” @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org will be out in physical form before Christmas. It tells the story of how Europeans contest nuclear weapons - and how policymakers react. Pairs perfectly with hot and cold beverages. ☕

Peter was deeply knowledgeable, but exceptionally devout to democratic process. There’s no better example than the NPT’s extension. Indefinite extension wasn’t his preferred option. But when the politicians decided to go for it, he made it work. True class. RIP

Peter Goosen, the titan of arms control, has passed. Peter was an amazing man, a proud South African who left his mark on chemical, biological and nuclear arms control. However, he will be most famously known for his role in the NPT’s indefinite extension in 1995. (1/n)

Together with Mahmoud Javadi and Sophie Vanhoonacker, we just published a piece in @europeansecurity.bsky.social on why EU is not more active in military AI regulation. Drawing on regime complexity scholarship, our answer is simple: EU doesn't offer what MSs want.

I wrote about the Polish refusal to extradite a Ukrainian suspect in the Nord Stream attack to Germany. A few things didn't make it in. First: the court said jurisdiction over attacks on a pipeline in international waters is hazy. Sounds weird, right? 1/8 www.economist.com/europe/2025/...
