Happy to have this finally in my hands.

Are you a political, legal or social theorist based in Australia? If so, check out this call for the 3rd @melbournetheory Annual Manuscript Workshop Award! @L_Hartnett @MiriamBankovsky @SuzyKillmister @bjmoffitt @SSlaughter70 Deadline: 15 August 2024

Until the end of June, we will be highlighting the articles from Global Society 38(2). The first of these is "The Prospects of the G20’s Support of Liberalism: International Order and the Sustainable Development Goals" by @SSlaughter70 (@Deakin) tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

Colombia's president Gustavo Petro: "The motto Liberty, Equality, Fraternity that was created by the French Revolution no longer has its place in Paris but in South Africa. That is the new reality." x.com/tema_linfo/sta… He isn't wrong... It's been the case for a while but if this war achieves anything, it is to sound the death knell of the West's credibility when it comes to respecting human values... and showcases the fact that global South countries are in fact the credible ones. And I think there's no recovering from this - at least for a very long time - which is why this conflict is so important: it introduces a new era where the West won't manage to speak from a position of strength, at least morally speaking.

A system that invests 35 times more in destroying the biosphere than trying to rescue it is certain to collapse.

There’s another “threat to global rules”that I’m deeply concerned about @AlboMP How did we ever get to a point where we care more about delays to shipping than thousands of dead and starving kids? #Gaza #CeasefireNOW

The 6 former PMs, including (and especially) the current Australian ambassador to the US, should be embarrassed to their core that they signed that letter.

No this was not the biggest intelligence failure by Israel. The biggest intel failure is to believe it can live in peace while permanently occupying another people That is not to justify violence. But to recognize that peace & occupation never tends to coexist in the long run>>

Just in case you were wondering, Dutton is the chief wrecker of the #VoiceToParliament, using FN people as a political football for non-existent electoral gain. #VoteYes #yes23

Good morning ☀️🌺 A reminder that a Voice to Parliament remedies a constitutional failure to recognise that Aboriginal people and Torres Strait Islander people on matters that affect them. From here on out, every day election day. #VoteYes

For those following Sana Nakata’s posts on the Voice, she’s been permanently suspended. We can’t figure out why.

For the past week I’ve been posting #VoiceToParliament info in replies to #VoteNo accounts. Here is what I found: * Overt racism * Fear-mongering about treaty, reparations * Lies about powers of Voice * Diversion to other issues eg. vaccines * Personal attacks against #VoteYes

This is arguably the most important & insightful thing I’ve read all year. The rhetoric & anti-protest policy against climate activists is not an accident. It’s a well coordinated campaign by the worst think tanks in the world. This is essential reading. newrepublic.com/article/175488…

CfP: Would you like to contribute to our Special Issue on Transitional Orders in Global Politics? If yes, send 200 words abstract by 30 Sept. to simon.koschut@zu.de We look forward to your contribution!

Periodic reminder that a billionaire tax isn’t just about revenue, it also prevents them from having practically limitless power

"I am not angry because the submarine was badly-made. I am angry because I live in a vastly larger pressure vessel being managed and maintained by the exact same people." "a perfect microcosm of the problem with everything right now." cohost.org/hystericempres…

@POLIS_Deakin first HDR workshop was a resounding success, with four expert panels and some excellent discussion with current @Deakin PhDs as to how to not only succeed, but thrive, while doing a PhD. @BenjaminIsakhan @ZimmZone
