Very sad that I'll miss the 6th Global Policy North workshop
@uofglasgow.bsky.social 6-7 Nov 2025 due to another longstanding commitment. CFP attached - do apply if you're working on global governance broadly conceived. it's pluralist and engaged in the best sense and lovely people too!

Bit of a change of tack for me. New co-authored piece with Julija Loginovic - does the UN SDGs hybrid institutional complex work? TL;DR not in terms of sustainable development but yes if they're about reasserting class based forms of governance
