I recently wrote about the quasi-conclave of the IOC, having little idea that we would be talking about an actual papal conclave in short course. In the piece, I discuss how the election of Kirsty Coventry as new IOC President might shape the organisation's positioning in global governance.

I am grateful to @voelkerrechtsblog.org for publishing my blog about the continuous and growing efforts of cities to establish their presence on the international plane, and the crucial role played by the Forum of Mayors in the process.

An academic debutante will be grateful if you read the piece!

My heart goes to all colleagues and students at Charles University in Prague. What an incredibly dark day for Central Europe and academia.
