Check out my new publication in @mwcjournal.bsky.social - I argue that states use summitry as a digital content to induce ‘digital entitativity’ or to produce their selves as a unitary intentional actor among social media users, by analyzing China’s Twitter content on Xi’s summits.

Whose age of anxiety? Provincialising ontological insecurity | Review of International Studies | Cambridge Core Whose age of anxiety? Provincialising ontological insecurity

New article published in @risjnl.bsky.social critiques the oft-repeated idea that 'we' are living in Age of Anxiety. I ask: who is the 'we'? A planetary we? Or an insecure (but provincial) Western-liberal subject?

The season of Western multilateral summitry (G7, NATO) may be over, but the diplomatic show must go on.
In this @ejir.bsky.social piece, I argue that summitry is a performance producing what I call the "social international," or the intl system of state persons
