@mstephen.bsky.social and I argue @ecprtheloop.bsky.social that the return of power politics favours cooperation through #IIGOs, as they allow powerful states to increase their scope for action.

#63: Terroir For Busy People
I found this episode of the Making Coffee podcast by Lucia Solis an interesting listen: pca.st/episode/4f13...
