Already in Oxford & looking forward to this talk at Nuffield College on Nov 4.

I’m a bit skeptical that Oxford is eager to dissect the sources of the EU’s geopolitical power. Prove me wrong? Prove me wrong, please? If you’re around and we haven’t connected, DM me and let’s meet up.

💫 𝐋𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐡 𝐃𝐚𝐲. We need to stop calling the EU a club. Everything else will follow.

🌎 Meanwhile, in D.C., our colleagues in Congress and the State Department who are planning for the year ahead—and the incoming administration—are getting a sneak peak into the top risks for EU interests in 2025.

📈 Stay tuned for updates—full dataset included.

🚨**Call for papers-Lessons for EU Enlargement in Ukraine and Beyond**

What worked & failed in successful & stagnating EU enlargements, and why? What lessons apply to candidates & the EU now?

Scholars from CEE are particularly encouraged to apply. Let’s practice EU integration also.

Night train to Kyiv on the day that 🇺🇦 received the green light for accession negotiations from the EU Commission.
Why? Time to put to good use all the lessons learned from previous enlargement phases to support 🇺🇦 in its marathon path to 🇪🇺 membership. More soon about an epic project about to start.

None of the major International Relations schools of thought can logically justify an end to the Russia-Ukraine War that includes even a partial Russian occupation. An argument that had to be made, lest we forget Ukraine has no future with Russian troops on its territory.

We are off to an action-packed start to the academic year at Johns Hopkins University SAIS Europe. How lucky to be working against the background of an Italian 🇮🇹 masterpiece.

A review for the Economist Intelligence Unit to highlight how well far-right parties are doing in Europe. If the trend continues, it will lead to a significant increase in seats in the 🇪🇺 Parliament after the 2024 elections. This will damage chances for a good EU foreign policy & enlargement. Brace!

European politics changed. So did the scholars who analyze it. Edited w/ Erik Jones, Developments in European Politics 3 is out! AllWomen chapter contributors tackle the rise of authoritarianism, globalization mismanagement, collective insecurity & disintegration. Good stuff for upgraded syllabi.
