A few words (in Slovak) about #NewSTART by @profonderco.bsky.social for @pravdask.bsky.social. spravy.pravda.sk/svet/clanok/...

Priblížil sa svet k jadrovej vojne? Posledná atómová dohoda medzi USA a Ruskom vypršala

Systém dohôd obmedzujúcich počty a nasadenie jadrových zbraní medzi Spojenými štátmi a Ruskom sa rozpadol.

Just found out through this tweet that my book How Tyrants Fall appears to be available in Farsi (!) in Iran? Like you can buy it as a physical book in bookshops in Tehran or whatever. Can someone who speaks Farsi please tell me whether this is actually real?

Netherlands will be "constructive" towards the "strenghtening of a European nuclear deterrent"

They will join the Treaty of Achen (Franco-German defence cooperation treaty)

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aachen_...

We verdiepen de Europese defensiesamenwerking. We zetten in op gezamenlijke
aanschaf in gebruikerspoules van strategische capaciteiten die voor individuele landen
te kostbaar zijn. Nederland loopt voorop in het realiseren van een Europese pijler
binnen de NAVO. Ook staan we constructief tegenover het versterken van een
Europese nucleaire afschrikking. We treden toe tot het verdrag van Aken

As someone who sat on the Sartori Prize cmte last yr, I have to say that RISP consistently delivers clever high-quality papers with good data and relevant questions. Hard to find another “national” journal in Europe with such good quality. This paper fits the pattern.

Book Launch: Europe’s Nuclear Umbrella

On Tuesday 10 February 2026, Dr. Michal Onderco will present his latest book “Europe’s Nuclear Umbrella”, recently published by Cambridge University Press.

Michal Onderco @profonderco.bsky.social · Jan 8

To the best of my knowledge, this is the first comparative study of contestation around nuclear sharing across all five host countries.
It draws on original data on public opinion, political parties, and civil society, and is written with non-specialists in mind.

Michal Onderco @profonderco.bsky.social · Jan 8

Today Europe’s Nuclear Umbrella is officially out.
The book examines how nuclear sharing is contested across Europe, and why governments stick with these policies even when they’re deeply unpopular.

Never had the pleasure of meeting David Malone, but we corresponded and he had an incredibly generous mind. May his soul rest in peace!

Just heard about Ambassador David Malone’s passing. An incredible academic & practitioner. I had the chance to first meet him when he was HC to India. He gave me very important advice on my PhD career, had always been supportive of my work & contributed an excellent chapter to an HB I edited. RIP!

Why do some EU members “care” more about the 🇮🇱-🇵🇸 conflict than others?

Together with @valeriovignoli.bsky.social and @irena-kalhousova.bsky.social , we argue this is due to domestic polarization, demography and trade patterns.

Happy to give a book talk: Europe: flexible | US: late March | E Asia: mid-spring. If your class or group is interested in nuclear weapons, democracy, or alliances, let’s talk!

🎉 Excited to share that “Europe’s Nuclear Umbrella” @cambup-polsci.cambridge.org will be out in physical form before Christmas. It tells the story of how Europeans contest nuclear weapons - and how policymakers react. Pairs perfectly with hot and cold beverages. ☕

Peter was deeply knowledgeable, but exceptionally devout to democratic process. There’s no better example than the NPT’s extension. Indefinite extension wasn’t his preferred option. But when the politicians decided to go for it, he made it work. True class. RIP
