Wow... Writing this paper was a bit like watching a soap opera unfold. But it's out now in @bjpir.bsky.social

The big story is still: The ECB marched forward, with clear democratic authorisation, but not the Fed. Green central banking is much more democratic than people think.

Is diplomatic rudeness a mistake—or a strategy?

Our new article @bjpir.bsky.social shows how weaker states deploy "overt impoliteness" to challenge hierarchy and assert agency in leader-level diplomacy. doi.org/10.1177/1369...
