Really honored to be awarded the King’s Gold Medal for my dissertation!

You can read more about it below, and then I want to add that I was incredibly lucky with my workplace, colleagues, co-authors and supervisors during my PhD<3 feeling grateful!!

Jeg har en kronikk i @aftenposten.no i dag om at Kina ikke er supermakten du tror den er. Tidligere har jeg skrevet mye om at Kina ikke matcher USA militært. Ny forskning viser at USA også er økonomisk overlegen. Les mer her: www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...
Kinas vekst er betydelig overdrevet.
Kina fremstilles som en supermakt på linje med USA. Denne ideen faller sammen så fort du ser på tallene som faktisk betyr noe.

📄 Jeg har en kronikk ute i @dagsavisen.bsky.social i dag. På papir og på nett. USA har blitt en kødd. Men det er ikke bare vi allierte som taper på det. USA risikerer å miste ett viktig utenrikspolitisk verktøy: prestisje

I dag har jeg en lang kronikk på trykk i Aftenposten, som er basert på mitt introduksjonsessay for den nyeste utgaven av Tidsskriftet Internasjonal Politikk. Jeg skriver om at USA nå er inne i en brytningstid, og at vi kan vinke den forrige æraen - www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...
Den gamle verden er tapt. Nå må vi forberede oss på å bekjempe monstre.

I dagens @aftenposten.no skriver jeg og @miroslavnemcok.bsky.social om hvorfor Slovakia has blitt EUs hodepine. Statsminister Fico reiser til Moskva og lar seg bruke i russisk propaganda. Det setter både EUs troverdighet og enigheten om Ukraina-støtte på spill

Kronikk: «Slovakia er nå det svakeste leddet i EUs utenrikspolitikk»
Glem Ungarn, skriver kronikkforfatterne.

Slovak PM Fico is about to land in Moscow to stand by Putin, legitimizing Russia’s narrative and defying EU foreign policy. As @palroren.bsky.social and I argue, Fico’s domestic pressure is now a warning sign for EU unity.

Thrilled to announce that our special issue on status symbols in world politics is now out in the wild (and for a limited time free to read as well!) Read about our intro piece in @pauldavidbeaumont.bsky.social's thread below. Thread on each article in the SI coming very soon!
Conceived at Baltimore 2016, it's fitting that our special issue Status Symbols in World Politics is out in time for #ISA2025! The intro makes case for why status symbols warrant sustained attention in IR & develops a framework for studying them 🧵 1/: journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
