The EU is a geopolitical actor.

In a new article, just published in the @jeppjournal.bsky.social, I introduce the SI 𝘞𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 𝘌𝘯𝘭𝘢𝘳𝘨𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵, 𝘐𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘙𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮.

When blame governments other governments in crises?

🎤 @christianschw.bsky.social, @sarahdingler.bsky.social, @lorehayek.at & @msenn.bsky.social analyse Covid-19 press conferences

👉 They identifiy crisis severity, geography, and value proximity as key drivers

Hi bsky people - if you care about how the EU seeks to fund all things "social-ecological transformation", which institutional architecture has emerged out of it, and why it is both contested and an unrealized promise: please have a look at our special issue on the politics of sustainable finance 👇

🤝 @jochemvanagt.bsky.social, Katrin Praprotnik, @luanarusso.bsky.social, and @markuswagner.bsky.social show that when the mainstream right signals openness to govern with the far right, it eases tensions on the right but amplifies antipathy on the left 👇

🔎 Nicole Scicluna examines the framing of "enlargement" in von der Leyen's speeches and in manifestos of European parties

💡She finds that enlargement is still mostly framed in terms of technical procedures

🛶 The EU feels compelled to venture into unfamiliar waters of geopolitics - but how?

🗺️ @vanghel.bsky.social synthesises the contributions to JEPP's Special Issue on EU Integration, Reform and Enlargement

🔑 She argues that “relational geopolitics” is key

💡 Though short-lived after Eastern enlargement, it offers key insights for the EU’s next rounds of integration, argue Bruszt Laszlo (@weareceu.bsky.social ) and Julia Langbein (@zois.bsky.social)

Devolving powers on paper is only half the story — the real challenge is implementation. In this post, I discuss my recent @jeppjournal.bsky.social article with @jmfernandes86.bsky.social on when decentralization actually works in practice. Thanks @ccc-research.bsky.social y.social for the invite!

How do governments mobilise public opinion in times of uncertainty? Do they gauche public opinion systematically across policy domains or unevenly depending on the issue ?🧵

💥 How to crises impact public attention?

Amnon Cavari and Asif Efrat contribute to this debate with evidence from Israel (2023-2024): they show how a constitutional crisis and a security crisis reshaped public priorities👇

🚨Very excited to see our new paper out in @jeppjournal.bsky.social!

We looked at how working with AI shapes people's risk perceptions and social policy preferences, with some surprising results ⬇️

📊 @mhaslberger.bsky.social, Jane Gingrich, and Jasmine Bhatia explore how exposure to AI shapes social policy preferences in a UK survey experiment.

💡 Their key finding: when faced with AI, people want support, not just protection
