Thanks Osmond, I think that the initial tweet captures well the contradiction of conflict around the state that we are now witnessing

The article is part of a special issue on 'The Political Economy of Green-Digital Transition', guest edited by Edelmilson Paraná on Globalizations. We also want to thank the anonymous reviewers for the useful comments on our article.

This shortcoming is becoming even more apparent as the world faces the return of (new) great power politics, and the EU finds itself under heavy pressure from the Trump's administration to renounce to any pretence of political autonomy and technological sovereignty.

Further we underline (2) the emphasis on technology adoption, rather than the expansion of productive capacities (basically the EU continues to adopt much of the tech it adopts). This leads to the paradox that NGEU may further entrench EU tech dependency on the US and China.

We highlight: (1) a tension between two competing narratives, short-term economic recovery ('recovery narrative'), and long-term technological transformation ('modernisation narrative'), with the NGEU ending up focusing more on the former.

We critically examine the strategic contradictions of NGEU, both in its overarching conception narratives and the details of its concrete policy content, to assess the degree to which the plan has fulfilled its promise of future-proofing the political economy of the EU.

Las discusiones en profundidad sobre la sociología del cambio climático, los conflictos en el despliegue de renovables y la reindustrialización verde es lo que necesitamos ahora mismo.

Este es el camino.

Another exhibit of the prominence of the security frame in post-global discourse; but where the notion of security is geared exclusively towards defence. Many who find themselves in a difficult economic situation in reading this will ask: “Secure at home? Really?”

This fascinating new research overturns longstanding assumptions. It finds that lower-income groups are more concerned about the environment and prefer environmental protection over economic growth, compared to higher-income groups. Data from the USA.

Protection and security have indeed become "master frames" of contemporary politics. Unfortunately less and less in the sense of social security and social protection; more and more in the sense of national defence and rearmament.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain on Monday promised to bring his country to "war-fighting readiness" as he announced plans to build up to 12 new attack submarines and invest in nuclear and other weaponry as part of a new military strategy aimed at deterring an increasingly hostile Russia.

We are witnessing live how an hegemonic power shoots itself in the feet. US universities have always been a key instrument of US international projection and scientific power. This administration is seriously harming them. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/28/u...

Chinese University invites Harvard int’l students. As the US squanders its hegemonic power and sees its scientific advantage eroding China is putting itself forward as the alternative.

Trump's Golden Dome and Stargate (not to speak of Musk's deranged Mars ambitions) alongside China's mega-infrastructure projects (high speed rail etc) are proof that we are not just in a time of MAGA, but also of MEGA. Megalomania, a typical trait of "high modernism", is coming back BIG time.

Trump appears to have no qualms about undermining the foundations of US cultural and scientific leadership. If this continues, it is not far-fetched to imagine a future where China’s top unis particularly those in the C9 League - become more appealing to int'l students than Ivy League institutions.
