- Claudia Major, Carlo Masala, Christian Mölling, Jana Puglierin: “How to prevent the next war in Europe: A five-point plan“.
- Johannes Binder und Moritz Schularick: “Die Unterstützung der Ukraine ist eine Investition in die Sicherheit Europas“
- Andrew Postman: “My dad predicted Trump in 1985 – it’s not Orwell, he warned, it’s Brave New World”
- “What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one. Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism. Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance. Orwell feared we would become a captive culture. Huxley feared we would become a trivial culture.”
- Paul Krugman: “Europe: Is the Force Awakening?”
- “Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Italy, each by itself, has greater economic resources than Russia does. Collectively, they have vastly greater weight than Russia. Moreover, the war has placed the Russian economy under severe strain. Yet, for most of Europe, the cost of aiding Ukraine has been barely noticeable. And if Merz’s remarks are any indication, Europe may soon be prepared to do considerably more.”
- Francis Fukuyama: “The ultimate betrayal“

Tillsammans med Birgit Peters har jag redigerat ett specialnummer om transnationell auktoritet i tidskriften Transnational Legal Theory, som nu finns att läsa för den med tillgång till ett universitetsbibliotek.

Film och internationell politik
Man skulle kunna parafrasera Rule 34 slikt: If it exists, there’s a journal article about it. För några år sedan kastade jag ut en fråga om vilka filmer som skulle kunna illustrera en introduktionskurs i internationell politik. I senaste numret av JPSE presenterar Brandon Valeriano ett sådant upplägg för att åskådliggöra både världspolitiska händelser och teorier om krig, fred och internationell interaktion genom film. ((Brandon Valeriano: “Teaching Introduction to International Politics with Film“, Journal of Political Science Education, 9:1, 2013.))
