🤔 The #EU 🇪🇺 aspires to be a global actor 🌍 — but do other states recognize it as such?

My new study in @intlinteractions.bsky.social develops targeted #NLP / #TextAsData tools to analyze 50 years of foreign policy discourse in the annual #UN General Debate (1970–2020).

🚨 New(ish) Publication Alert! Delighted to see my article Credit Claiming in the EU @thejop.bsky.social I explore a classic question for accountability in Europe: when and why do govs claim credit for the work of the EU and shift blame onto Brussels to avoid responsibility? doi.org/10.1086/732970

Hochaktuell sind die neuen WZB-Mitteilungen zum Thema Weltordnung, denn die Regeln, nach denen das globale Zusammenleben über Jahrzehnte funktionierte, gelten nicht mehr. Ein Heft über Krieg & Frieden, über Demokratie, Profit & Wissenschaft, über China, Amerika und die EU.

Das Bild zeigt das Cover der Zeitschrift „WZB Mitteilungen – Quartalsheft für Sozialforschung“. Der Hintergrund ist ein klarer blauer Himmel. Rechts oben schwebt ein großer Luftballon in Form eines Baby-Darstellung einer bekannten politischen Figur mit orangefarbener Haut und gelben Haaren, der einen wütenden Gesichtsausdruck zeigt. Unten links befindet sich ein weißes Textfeld mit den Ausgabeninformationen: Ausgabe 3|25, September 2025, sowie die Webseite „wzb.eu“ in grün. Darunter steht der Titel des Hefts „Weltordnung“ und die Unterthemen „Regeln“, „Krieg“ und „China“.

Mehr Sozialstaat und eine "antifaschistische Wirtschaftspolitik" werden häufig als Mittel gegen den AfD-Erfolg genannt. Doch was ist dran an der These & welche Sozialpolitik wünschen sich die AfD-Wähler tatsächlich? Eine Datenanalyse von @schieritz.bsky.social und mir.

Sozialpolitik: Wer wenig hat, ist in ihren Augen selbst schuld
Mehr Sozialstaat könnte den Aufstieg der Rechtspopulisten bremsen, heißt es oft. Umfragen zeigen aber: Die Wähler der AfD verstehen unter Gerechtigkeit etwas anderes.

The University of Cologne plans drastic cuts to its Political Science department, potentially abolishing the MSc in Political Science and eliminating the professorships in IR and Comparative Politics. This would severely weaken the social sciences at @unicologne.bsky.social.
