It’s been a turbulent decade of globalization backlash. Populist projects wanna take back control everywhere.

Focusing on the case of oil and Brexit, we offer a story of the danger of this narrative and concrete merits of multilateralism: 🧵

most bad things would expire at some point — or at least the irresponsible lending together with rising household debt and ineffective regulation of the 2008-09 years eventually expired and the country could make a turn.

Brexit, instead, unexpirable (sigh)

yes. World leadership models come in many different flavours (some genuine leaderships do not work for many/the most/the world). Democratic countries should learn to distinguish which models work best for them without replicating blindly what they see around

It angers me that Europe was capable of very quickly replicating the Chinese lockdown and far from learning anything from the Chinese energy transition.

Crises come in different flavors; you should learn from them holistically.

“Whether he will succeed is hotly debated. The specter of a flight of the wealthy is just a right-wing blah-blah. The danger, I fear, lies elsewhere. One is that Trump will do everything possible to hurt NYC. The second is that Mamdani will fumble facing some unexpected crisis. But if he succeeds?”

(for the record, I am too concerned with some versions of cheerleading I am seeing around China’s energy politics and worried about how people are connecting this to climate policy leadership)

so much subtext! 🔥😅

… because Trump does not even believe his own narrative that the US needs no one else but itself in the world.

That said, it will be an interesting test to see if the world believes they can have a serious convo without the US in the room.
