Glad to see my work consulted in NATO Defense College report & why we need to revisit the EU history and the policy-making of the 1990s.

We wrote about the US ruling class taking the reins to manage its own decline. What do the Trumpist factions of capital want? Can that be squared with the interests of the MAGA base? Capable state managers could potentially thread the needle, but that's all gone. With @cedricdurand.bsky.social.

This book revisits the embrace of liberal capitalism in post-communist Eastern Europe to show that recent concerns about the rise of populist movements obfuscate the limits and the contradictions inherent in the concept. 📚Contribution: Chapter 2: #EUenlargement

A recent study on🇩🇪 also finds: the fewer buses run in a region, the higher the vote share for the AfD. When people feel left behind,they lose trust in institutions &become more susceptible to far-right narratives presseportal.greenpeace.de/249505-schle...

🗳️ Populism is a warning sign.

English local elections show it again: People feel abandoned & look scapegoats.

Drawing on own research & others, I argue 👇🏽

💡 To counter populism: We need to reinvest in citizens, e.g. housing, health & dignity.

To Counter Populism and Bolster Security, Europe Must Reinvest In Its Citizens

Facing security threats and rising populism, Europe needs state investment in citizens, not austerity that fuelled discontent.
