We published a new #ConTrust Working Paper:

Trust and Spectatorship
by @vinzenzhediger.bsky.social

The paper discusses Ra'anan Alexandrowicz' film "The Viewing Booth" to develop the outlines of a possible theoretical model of spectatorship and trust in media.

I contributed a brief chapter on 𝗖𝘆𝗻𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗺, which was a lot of fun to write.

Beate Jahn & Sebastian Schindler have compiled a fantastic “Elgar Encyclopedia of International Relations." What makes it special is that it not only covers well-known IR concepts but also many less-established ones—such as art, failure, friendship, or post-truth. A great resource! 🙏

Why do many IOs struggle to learn despite a plethora of formal learning processes and tools?

In my new ISQ article, I argue that the criticism culture—the way IOs deal with criticism from their employees—is an overlooked but crucial variable to explain (the lack of) learning in IOs. 🧵
