In today's a fractured strategic environment, each node of the global economy – be it a shipping corridor or a data platform – becomes a new potential front line for great-power conflict, warns @CarlaNorrlof. "Weaponized interdependencies will splinter global trade into rival blocs, undermining the ties that drove unprecedented prosperity gains for billions of people in recent decades." (bit.ly/4iCChlg)

Opinion | A string of assassinations, a faltering economy, a shortage of workers: the pressure on #Putin is ratcheting up according to @UofT_PolSci @olga_chyzh @guardian. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Excited to announce I am co-curating #HGW25 with the brilliant @CarlaNorrlof (@AtlanticCouncil )! 🌍 With her expertise in global power, trade & geoeconomics, HGW25 will focus on “Trump Six Months On: Geoeconomics in a Fractured Global Order” #GeoeconomicsWeek #ThoughtLeadership

After Assad's collapse, Syria’s new HTS-led order offers the US a choice: keep bombing & sanctioning—or engage diplomatically, and push for inclusive governance. Time to pivot from hostility to partnership, and let Syrians reclaim their destiny @ProSyn project-syndicate.org/commentary/syr…

The fall of #Assad’s regime is not the end of #Syria’s struggles but the beginning of a complex journey toward reconciliation, recovery, and rebuilding. Read this analysis by @MarwaDaoudy arabcenterdc.org/resource/a-new…

What really propelled Trump to victory? Economics, Leadership & Credibility Perceptions 🧵 My contribution to this @ProSyn roundtable project-syndicate.org/onpoint/trump-…

The people of Odesa waking today to devastation after Russians sent drones equipped with thermobaric warheads onto apartment buildings all over the city. Russia no longer seems to have interest in military targets, pure attempts to terrorize the civilian population.

@polidemitolog The message is not “don’t run women,” the message is have an honest conversation about sexism, stop pretending it doesn’t exist, and develop strategies on how to fight it, e.g. education and other incentives.

The sexism is certainly there, racism as well. The gap may explain it. The defeat on the elections wasn't decided on that alone. If it were, then the message will be - don't let women be candidates, Black women especially. I don't think that should be the message. With the strategic shifting of the Democratic Party to the center right on social values and center left on the economy, a female candidate could win.

Still waiting for someone to explain to me why men are more worried about inflation than women.

Still seeing "Harris couldn't turn out millions of Biden voters," and the count in swing states says that's not true. In Wisconsin, Harris got 37k more votes than Biden. The most votes of any Dem candidate since Obama in 2008. She lost bc Trump added 77k more votes since 2020.

@david_darmofal @KamalaHarris If only she could also get the turnout…

@polidemitolog I am agnostic about class interest, I just want to know why there is a gender gap in preferences.

@olga_chyzh To be honest, I don't think that the right explanation for the victory of American populism should be the carbon copy of the communist claim that workers that don't vote for them don't understand their class interest.

@polidemitolog Because we know women can’t be sexist.

@olga_chyzh White women still voted predominantly for Trump...

@BirgerJ2 @rmkubinec Makes sense, since men do all the grocery shopping.

@rmkubinec @olga_chyzh Eggs up 61% last four years, just one example to unravel the "mystery" 🤗

Here some possible answers I could think of:

@nataliemj10 Yes, but there is an underlying reason why swings are correlated. I wonder if it happens more when one of the candidates is a woman.
