If you have ever wondered why this lady publishes weird things but no one seems to know what her PhD and postdoc were actually about, here is your chance to find out my secret research agenda, so go and read the interview 🤭 (no beef if you have never wondered tho)
In this #EUIResearch interview, MWP Fellow @jemtseva.bsky.social takes us into the world of international law, delving into the role of private actors in performing public functions & how we can rethink transitional justice from an unexpected perspective. ⚖️

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.

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

Join us tomorrow at 10 am CET for a chat with @ntinatzouvala.bsky.social about her new piece and what critical international legal scholars can do (or should we at all?) about the looming erosion of our field.

Details are in the ESIL's post:

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)

Is Taylor Swift Leaning Right?
Despite becoming a progressive favourite in recent years, Taylor Swift’s billionaire feminism has always been a vibes-only endeavour guided by consumerism and the girl boss ethic. Is it now shading in...

I had a dream today that I was at the ICJ and one of the agents was vaping while presenting the arguments. Wishing you all a great day!

My Friday writing session's strong urge is to start referring to scholars and colleagues by their first name like "as Tony said that Eurocentrism sucks, Martti took it as a challenge and wrote a whole trilogy on that noncontroversial take"

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?

The ICJ said that UNWRA was indispensable because no other well functioning humanitarian systems were in place. But what if the alternatives, like the GHF, were well functioning? Would the problem disappear for the Court?

I discuss these and other questions in the post below 👇
