🧠 As the world changes, we need to adapt our thinking about the potential for democracy beyond the nation state.

📘 Excited to share this new open access article in International Theory!

❓️In it, I ask: How can we think about democracy when governing happens in informal, transboundary networks?

If you're in Canada, it would be great to contact your MP and urge our government to grant visas and work permits to these refugees

So once again, the narrative is more complicated than Vance bad, EU good. Vance most certainly is bad. But the case for the EU is arguable, given its adoption of the far-right's agenda on migration and its willingness to ignore many of Meloni's excesses in return for "good behavior" on Ukraine.
