Delighted to celebrate the 2nd birthday of Before the West by announcing it will be receiving the 2024 ISA John Ruggie Annual Best Book Award(Given that I would never have set on this career path if not for Ruggie's "Territoriality and Beyond", I am especially touched)

In the last two weeks I spoke both at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum organised by the Turkish government/MFA, and GIF (Turkish CFR) where members are much are likely to favour the opposition. Bad news for the 'Global West' - I don't think there is much difference in how they view the LIO or the West
