Thanks Mark! Went with a slightly different literature here, as the backstage/front stage distinction wasn't the main focus.

In the conclusion, we highlight how there are some important lessons here for the study of trade policy in the age of #Trump and the unilateral imposition of tariffs. This is performative trade policy par excellence.

Rather than a focus on the content of trade policy, what we argue that the desire to perform trade policy independence was the key driving factor of UK trade policy in this period.

We focus on the UK's post #Brexit trade policy, and specifically its free trade agreements with Australia and New Zealand to highlight the importance of practices and performativity in trade policy.

The only dampener is that this news comes as my employer, the University of Bristol, has announced a cost-cutting strategy that threatens the social sciences (and arts and humanities) at the University: www.bristol247.com/opinion/your...

I also want to acknowledge @uaces.bsky.social Chair @tonihaastrup.bsky.social, who is also joining the Academy and with whom I have also really enjoyed working over the years. This signals the real impact the European Studies is having on the academy and further afield.

These consultancies remind me of Cornish wreckers in the c18th, luring ships onto the rocks. Unis think they can see a lighthouse with harbour, but ooh no it isn't. They thought they were being sold safety, but in fact they've been handed a doomsday device. And they don't even know it! (3/3) /END
