Not a bad way to head into the new academic year

Since search is dead, how soon do you think Google Scholar is headed for the Google Graveyard? I'm betting it's soon, and academia is NOT prepared
Google Scholar Is Doomed
Academia built entire careers on a free Google service with zero guarantees. What could go wrong?

I had the pleasure of participating at the #EUIA25 Conference in Brussels in late May, where I presented my latest research on China-EU relations and the role of the European parliament. Looking forward to continuing this conversation further!

Thanks to everyone involved in the 2024 edition of the NATO Model Event! The simulation, jointly organised by the University of Bologna and NATO ACT, featured the participation of students from Unibo and many other European universities. Congratulations!

Wow. Big drop in Chinese EV exports to EU, based on new Chinese customs data today

Oct shipments down 50.65% in value from a yr earlier, to $990m

While value term number can be problematic, they're down 36% from a month earlier

Bear in mind: EU tariffs didn't enter force until the end of October

My Trade Secrets today. Enough with all this Beltway Kremlinology about who gets appointed to what job in the economics and trade team.

What will get done on tariffs and currency is what's easiest (and easy to sell to Trump) to do. CLUE: it's not driving down the dollar.

Considering the Bluesky boom of these last few days, I thought we missed a starter pack with #IR scholars working on/based in/originally from #Italy!
Feel free to suggest names and help me to broaden the pack!
