À chaque COP, les peuples autochtones sont invités à “être visibles”, rarement à être entendus.
J’explore cette tension dans mon dernier article pour The Conversation.

COP après COP, les peuples autochtones sont de plus en plus visibles mais toujours inaudibles
Ils occupent 20 % des territoires terrestres, mais leur voix demeurent souvent inaudibles lorsque les décideurs du monde entier se réunissent.

I wrote for @allegralab.bsky.social on @yaelberda.bsky.social’s Colonial Bureaucracy and Contemporary Citizenship. A brilliant book on how paperwork (censuses, permits, blacklists) became tools of colonial control and still shape mobility & exclusion today.

In this succinct and timely review, @marinegauthier.bsky.social's engages with Yael Berda's new book at the intersection of empire, borders, and colonial administration to show that "citizenship in postcolonial states functions as a mobility regime"—a sobering reality that stands the test of time.

How fascinating to read these reflections on the state of our discipline!
¡Hola, mundo! My first, ehm, skeet (?) on here is about a new working paper from @guygrossman.bsky.social Will Dinneen and I. It’s on Political Scientists’ favorite topic: Political Science. We look at 140,000 PS papers published in 174 journals over the last two decades. Some of the highlights:

🚨Why do IOs struggle to learn?
Interesting new article showing how the « criticism culture ». This is insightful for understanding #safeguards and #accountability struggles—when critical voices are silenced and reports are polished, unintended harms may go unchecked.
#InternationalOrganizations
Why do many IOs struggle to learn despite a plethora of formal learning processes and tools?

In my new ISQ article, I argue that the criticism culture—the way IOs deal with criticism from their employees—is an overlooked but crucial variable to explain (the lack of) learning in IOs. 🧵

Strongly agree—bridging Development Studies and IR is key to understanding power, inequality, and global governance in turbulent times. Interdisciplinary thinking can offer sharper insights and more just solutions. #IR #DevStudies #GlobalPolitics
"With the contemporary challenges of an emergent global geopolitics, now is a good time to think about how Development Studies and International Studies might better engage with one another."

Africa’s digital divide holds immense promise—but at what cost? Foreign control, data exploitation, and environmental impacts may mirror colonial patterns. What about digital sovereignty, sustainability, local empowerment? Here also, what system do we reinforce by “bridging the gap”?
Beneath the promises of enhanced connectivity in Africa lies a complex narrative—a 21st-century iteration of colonial dynamics cloaked in the rhetoric of "connecting the unconnected"...
