It's great to see the BR tapping into Tim's unmatched expertise on this crucial topic.
How should #Europe 🇪🇺 and #Germany 🇩🇪 respond to the #US 🇺🇸 turn away from int’ law under #Trump?

It was great to receive so many constructive questions and comments on our resilience in Geneva today. In these dire times, it is all the more important to continue thinking about how to turn the world into a better place.

Yes, it's deeply sobering. Trump II fundamentally changes how the US engages with the world, and I fear that we can't know yet what this will entail, and what kind of world will to lead to. Nevertheless: Happy New Year, Tony!

Some of the points that @heinkelmann-wild.bsky.social

Crucially, the responses of many European governments to Maduro’s illegal capture are likely to hasten the destruction of global governance.

Our paper introduces a novel conceptualization of institutional resilience focused on the capacity to both absorb and adapt to stress, and analyses what makes global governance resilient to transnational crises. We identify three dimensions for assessing the resilience of governance arrangements:

To illustrate the analytical utility of our approach, we analyze global governance responses to the Global Financial Crisis and compare them with responses to the COVID-19 pandemic. While global governance showed considerable resilience to the GFC, this was not the case in response to COVID-19.

In sum, we lay the conceptual and theoretical foundations for a comparative research agenda on global governance responses to transnational crises, centered on our three-dimensional approach to institutional resilience and our two conjectures about the conditions fostering resilient governance.

Our analysis suggests that variation in the institutional and agentic features that our approach highlights can make a crucial contribution to explaining variation in the resilience of global governance to the stresses of transnational crises.

How can this be explained? We stress two factors: (1) Global financial governance is balanced between robust and flexible institutions, while global health governance is skewed toward flexible institutional forms. (2) In contrast to COVID-19, the GFC was met by capable leaders and adept bricoleurs.
