"Neoclassical Realist Theory of Populist Foreign Policy" just out with @risjnl.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1017/S026...
I explore how populism affects state behavior over time. This aims at further integrating populism scholarship into, and combining it with, IR theory.

With the official prognosis giving one additional seat to PVV and one to FvD compared to the ext poll, the narrative should really not be that the Netherlands/Jetten has beaten the radical right. The far right bloc remains remarkably stable.

With Trump, it's 50/50 whether they're going to obliterate Caracas or forget about this to focus on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch next.
More U.S. military firepower is headed to the Caribbean as Donald Trump escalates his anti-Maduro rhetoric. Nancy Youssef, Gisela Salim-Peyer, and Jonathan Lemire report on what could happen next in Venezuela:

This is basically my 'Foreign Policy Analysis' exam, just that I'm also asking about the casual mechanism.
FT columnist Janan Ganesh recently wrote of his conversion to the 'Great Man' theory of history - but only a minority agree
-History is primarily shaped by major figures: 27%
-Primarily shaped by broad social / economic / cultural / tech changes: 51%

your analysis of this political moment is going to fail if you keep using reductionist labels like "wine mom". first of all, there are dozens of factions just within that one term, from whiskey women to chardonnay chicas, and understanding their unique informal coalitions can take decades of study

The president (or maybe not president) of Madagascar—a radio DJ who overthrew the island’s yogurt kingpin in a coup d’état—just fled the country in a French helicopter after Gen Z protests. I wrote about the most interesting island you know nothing about, with bonus pictures of me with lemurs:
The yogurt kingpin, the radio DJ coup, and the most interesting island on Earth
Madagascar is a fascinating island home to 30+ million people. It's also home to bizarre, volatile politics that virtually nobody knows about. And the president just escaped on a helicopter.
