Old habits die hard? PRC travel warnings underline arguments Viking, Audrye and I make in @twqgw.bsky.social recently: tinyurl.com/twq25

Also align with new @nbr.org piece on how PRC sanctions neighbours: tinyurl.com/nbr10

Despite shiny "new economic weapons", old tools and logics remain relevant.

Enjoyed presenting joint research simultaneously with Uras Demir at PIPCOSS today, live from Tokyo and Los Angeles! Thank you to Wilfred Chow for organising and to Jiyoung Ko and Sung Eun Kim for their helpful feedback.

Pleased to contribute to the latest @eastasiaforum.bsky.social Quarterly on the rise of economic security cooperation in Asia. The piece draws on work @vikingbohman.bsky.social @limdarrenj.bsky.social and I have been collaborating on for a while. More to come soon.

New open access article in @journalofgss.bsky.social on how China and Russia (similarly!) use economic sanctions. Using new data, I disaggregate 53 CN and 50 RU cases from 2000-23 to look at ~300 separate sanctions, examining 6 mechanisms of implementation and their dynamics. doi.org/10.1093/jogs...

Looking forward to ISA next week, where I and coauthors will be presenting three things we've been working on recently. It will be my first time in Chicago 🙆🏻‍♂️ Shoot me a DM if you want to line up a coffee or if you want a copy of any of the papers.
