Thinking Global Podcast – Thinking Borders: Shahram Khosravi In the Thinking Borders series Professor Shahram Khosravi discusses autoethnography, personal narratives, the ethics of writing about others, Iran, border resistance and more.

Very happy to share the launch of my new podcast 'Thinking Borders' hosted by E-IR's Thinking Global Podcast. For the first episode, Shahram Khosravi discusses autoethnography, personal narratives, the ethics of writing about others, Iran, #border resistance and more. www.e-ir.info/2026/01/19/t...

Assad's Syria and the Second Partitionist Age That Never Was People can move across continents quicker and cheaper than ever, so seeking entirely new borders based on snapshot demographic pictures has become more futile.

I wrote a thing! Here's my take on how ethnic partitionism seemed to be coming back into fashion in the 2010s but, for whatever reason, failed to materialise.

Thanks to @e-international.bsky.social for publishing it!

Opinion – How China Is Keeping a British Political Prisoner in Hong Kong Jimmy Lai’s persecution stems from Deng Xiaoping’s distorted view of sovereignty and his rewriting of Hong Kong’s history.

How the War in Ukraine Strengthened Latvia's European Credentials and International Standing Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has firmly discredited the Russian historical narrative, which threatens Latvia’s national unity.

Video Games, White Supremacy, and the Aftermath of the Jakarta Explosions Policymakers and authorities should pay attention to the influence that extreme right-wing views and meme subcultures may carry online but they must move beyond long-discredited myths.

Recently published a piece with @e-international.bsky.social about misdirected efforts to blame video games for the bombing of a school in Jakarta earlier this month.

Review - Fiume o Morte! Irreverent and incisive, Fiume o Morte! reimagines D’Annunzio’s Fiume venture, exposing the theatrical roots of nationalist politics and the contested memories left behind.

Just reviewed Fiume o Morte! @e-international.bsky.social — a sharp, darkly comic documentary on the 1919 occupation of Fiume and the power of nationalist myth-making.

A great watch for anyone interested in nationalism, the post-WWI period, or the politics of memory.

Opinion – Dictatorships Are Unstable, Yet the International System Continues to Support Them The international system prioritizes the stability of sovereign states over the rights of citizens of individual states.

#Dictators like #Assad in #Syria are never stable. So why do we support them? www.e-ir.info/2025/03/02/o... @e-international.bsky.social #الأسد #سوريا

📚#Research | "Scholasticide in Gaza"

@nicolapratt.bsky.social in @e-international.bsky.social describes #scholasticide in #Gaza as a genocidal modality and calls for greater academic responsibility in responding to it.

Scholasticide in Gaza: Settler Colonial Elimination, Genocide, and the Crisis of Academic Responsibility If we claim to teach “global justice,” “decolonisation,” or “critical inquiry,” then confronting scholasticide is not optional—it is a test of the very values we profess.

PAIS's @nicolapratt.bsky.social has a new short article out in @e-international.bsky.social 'Scholasticide in Gaza: Settler Colonial Elimination, Genocide, and the Crisis of Academic Responsibility'

E-IR x BISA: Roland Bleiker on Emotions, Visuality and International Politics Roland Bleiker, the Keynote Speaker of the BISA Conference 2025, speaks about emotions and visuality in international politics, the conference, advice to young scholars and more.

I've had the chance to interview @bleiker.bsky.social for @e-international.bsky.social's podcast during our #BISA2025 coverage. R. Bleiker's work on emotions and visual politics has changed IR in many ways; hearing him talk about it live was a privilege.

A great listen, and a pleasure to be included in this conversation. Thanks for having me!
