Our (@SinfieldLeon and I) latest piece for @WPReview on how the downing of Azerbaijan Airlines Flight 8243 underscores the high stakes for neighbors of a Russia at war. We argue the public standoff between Aliyev and Putin appears to be bad news for Azerbaijan-Russia relations.

🏖️ Summer holiday planning has us reaching for Gregory Fayard (2023) — a timely reminder that tourism isn't just leisure or economics. His theory of the state-tourism nexus shows how travel flows actively construct nation-states. 👇 journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/03… #summerreading

Can art help us theorise feminist peace? Maria-Adriana Deiana & Heidi Riley use contemporary art exhibitions in post-Good Friday Agreement Northern Ireland to show how aesthetic methods reveal peace as necessarily 'unfinished.' 👇 tinyurl.com/yntw4nhn

You see this in barristers chambers in the UK too — older generations will have a 2:1 BA from Oxford, millennials and Gen Z will have an insane arms-race like collection of academic degrees, awards, etc. Makes for a much less 'casual excellence' style habitus in these places.

Bean Soup Theory is perhaps the most relevant sociological analysis of the 2020s and I’m not joking

I'd love to say we chose this theme purely on intellectual merit, but truthfully the first three letters of "Lim-inality" already had me convinced. The CfP for @millennjournal Vol. 55 on "The Global Politics of Liminality" is now live, and we'd love to hear from you!

📰 Read our PhD candidate @KazimierLim's article in The Interpreter by @LowyInstitute. His piece explores how threats to Gulf airports could disrupt global supply chains, reshape perceptions of regional stability, and redefine modern coercive power. bit.ly/4d9wEvm

THE ˥∀Ǝᗡ IS IN THE BAG! Here’s what it means ⬇️ The 🇪🇺-🇦🇺 Free Trade Agreement delivers: 📈 Exports up to +33% over the next decade 💶 Up to €17.7 billion in additional annual EU exports 💰 €1 billion saved every year in duties Here’s why it matters ⬇️ 🧵1/5

I coded the content of the articles published in the "Review of International Studies", the "European Journal of International Relations" and "Cooperation and Conflict" since 1995 for a forthcoming book chapter on European military capabilities. Usually, security studies article make up about 30 to 35% of an issue. Here is the breakdown between "critical" and "classical" security studies over time. Clearly, in European IR, the "critical" is very mainstream.

This Mother's Day, we dug into our archive. Read Mai'a Williams on the ever so relevant politics of mothering: "[T]he practice of mothering is fundamental to creating co-liberatory revolutionary movements and societies." Full piece below👇 tinyurl.com/47netytd #mothersday

At this time of day, it is easy to see how critical the corridor over Azerbaijan is to flights between Europe and Asia.

With Iran’s and Iraq’s airspace closed, this narrow corridor over Türkiye, Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan has become the main artery connecting Europe with Asia.

Following drone strikes on Nakhchivan International Airport (NAJ) earlier today, Azerbaijan has closed the airspace in its southern sector. Learn more about this, and more, in our updated list of airspace closures and restrictions: flightradar24.com/blog/live/isra…
