Just finished reading the superb book "The Making of International Status" by @mduque.bsky.social and wrote a short note for @jpeaceresearch.bsky.social about it here: www.prio.org/journals/jpr... Excellent piece of work! By far my favorite IR book so far (although it's far more than IR...) 🙂

A new book by my colleague @mduque.bsky.social is published by OUP! It's on an extremely timely topic so please take a look!

Timely joining bsky on the date "Bringing War Back In" was published worldwide with Cambridge UP. Check it out if you are interested in how war makes states also in its aftermath, and how the wars of a distant past explain the variation of state capacity within Latin America until today.

The United States and Europe have had 1000 days to tip the balance of military power decisively in Ukraine’s favor, but they chose not to. Biden’s decision on ATACMS will help, but like much else in this war, it is too little too late. My latest for the @bulletinatomic.bsky.social
