We had a wee Stirling in-house think about the relationship between critical climate justice and Policy Studies with Andrea Schapper @envjusticeresstir.bsky.social, @paulcairney.bsky.social, @hyeyoonpark.bsky.social, @neilcrawford.bsky.social
and Hannes Stephan

Absolutely. And so far, HTS/Jolani showed some negotiating skills, so hopefully that'll work out and spoilers (cough SNA cough) will kept at bay

Yes, I agree. That's the desirable outcome, but I'm not sure if Jolani will settle with SDF controlling the country's wealth in the long run. Hopefully, all happens through negotiations, though 🙏

Yes, 2 caveats:Jolani may play the Syrian nationalist card and embrace the force that controls 40% of the country, but behind closed doors, SDF is worried about his (to the core) Islamism - even if he doesn't see eye to eye with SNA, who may lack credibility but are backed by TSK. Time will tell

And here's no. 2 by @jonathanschulman.bsky.social on how status threats influence both US domestic and foreign policies. @alibilgic.bsky.social @mjph.bsky.social www.cogitatiopress.com/politicsandg...

1: yes
2: No: The outcome is far from clear. Jolani will be very careful not to be seen as Ankara's client and the relationship with SNA isn't always easy. Syrian nationalism may still trump Islamism. Plus, for now, SDF controls almost all of Syria's major resources, land, water and energy.

📢 Proud to share a collective effort to better understand what post-growth International Relations may look like. I had the privilege of guest-editing this Editors Forum on "Towards post-growth IR" in @risjnl.bsky.social together with @jhasselbalch.bsky.social! 🧵 /1

Pretty sure I've now added everyone working on/in political economy & climate crisis who requested! It looks great.

BUT I received (unsurprisingly) relatively few requests & suggestions for political economists who are women, not white &/or not from elite US/Eur institutions. So please, go ahead 🙏
