🚨📝

Some weeks ago it was Brexit’s 5th anniversary, and people have been stopping me on the street, grabbing me by the elbow, asking me But Albert, Brexit is shit, why don’t we talk about it?

So I wrote a piece about it for @lsepoliticsblog.bsky.social, using ontological security theory👇🏻
💥New! Despite polls showing that many have now regretted voting to leave the EU, there is little appetite to reopen the question of Brexit. Albert C. Cano uses ontological security theory to explain why this is.

🚨New publication‼️

📝Writing for the #USAPP BLOG from Phelan Centre I argue that Irish American diaspora has continued to exert its lobbying and community-building influence from across the Atlantic, keeping much in touch with Northern Irish politics and issues of peace and justice.

What links Trump’s pledges to rename the Gulf of Mexico, rechristen Mount Denali, and ‘take back’ the Panama Canal? With insights from ontological security and neuroscience, I explore how US imperial ambitions still resonate through the emotional appeal of sea power in Trump’s inaugural speech 🌊
🌎 Trump’s pledges to rename the Gulf of Mexico & ‘take back’ the Panama Canal are intended to evoke America’s imperial past.
🌊 @bscarvalho.bsky.social analyses how the emotional appeal of sea power sheds light on the political psychology behind Trump’s motivations.
