I defended my PhD on knowledge production in marine sciences! My work shed light on the usually unseen in science-making: emotions, senses, intersectionality & micropolitics. I‘m more than thankful for the humans & more-than-humans I met along the way @idos-research.bsky.social @unibonn.bsky.social

Mit der #Zeitenwende ist die geopolitische Bedeutung (Süd-)Osteuropas gestiegen. #Entwicklungspolitik strategischer auszurichten bedeutet auch, die Zusammenarbeit mit der Region zu stärken.

Nach der Rede von #Rubio auf der #MSC2026, stellt IDOS-Direktorin @akhornidge.bsky.social in einem neuen Beitrag für @table.media klar: Rhetorische Nähe legitimiert keine substantiell antipluralistische Zukunftsvision.
Hier geht es zum Artikel: table.media/forum/tablef...
@munsecconf.bsky.social
Resilience was a catchword at 2026 Munich Security Conference; yet PD Dr. Julia Leininger shows why it needs democratic culture & a 360° view to matter. “Resilience only arises when political measures are legitimised and supported by society”.

States across the Global South will be seeking partners who offer cooperation wihout domination, and middle powers can establish such coalitions around different issues.
Is principled pragmatism possible, or is it just pure contradiction? Is it realistic to expect middle powers to shape the next global order?
