New OA article @europe-asia.bsky.social: The Incumbency Advantage and the Enabler Effect: How Londongrad Beat the UK AML Regime

Grateful to @uisweden.bsky.social for hosting my talk on Serbia’s unrest in Stockholm last night. A full house, thoughtful questions from diplomats, academics & the wider public — a real sense that Serbia’s democratic experiment, and its civic energy, resonate far beyond its borders.

Full house - and a great discussion - at yesterday’s launch event of ThinkEurope in Ljubljana. I represented @cas-see-uniri.bsky.social bringing in some @geopower-eu.bsky.social research into the mix. Good luck to our friends Sabina Lange and Zoran Nechev with this new venture

Make no mistake: this is not just about a collapsed railway canopy. It’s about a deeply corrupt system sustained by #corrosivecapital and #kleptocracy. @sonjasg.bsky.social and I break it down in our latest @biepag.bsky.social blog. www.biepag.eu/blog/serbias...

What a night at Frontline Club. So many people who have inspired, supported and informed our work on Indulging Kleptocracy in many ways. The biggest thank you goes to the wonderful @oliverbullough.bsky.social, who wrote a cracking preface…
