Central European University was lovely! Huge thanks to @bjoernbremer.bsky.social for having me to the Political Economy Research Group and love to @annahehenberger.bsky.social @vapunkt.bsky.social and more!

Very happy that the first paper of our SER special issue co-edited with @vapunkt.bsky.social and @trgn.bsky.social is now published - and what a great one it is! Congratulations Lukas! 🎉 👇 Check it out 👇

So important from @kjephd.bsky.social. Political scientists ignore the critical importance of how meaning is constructed & so our work on climate suffers. Economic sociologists are much better on this, see @pgolka.bsky.social @danieldrisc.com @vapunkt.bsky.social & others (chime in, folks!). 1/2

Best advice you are going to get from me

Can winter tourism destinations responsibly adapt to climate change? Why summer replacing winter can slide into maladaptation if it deepens tourism dependence and erodes local acceptance. By @vapunkt.bsky.social politicalquarterly.org.uk/blog/can-win...

Trump’s economic agenda is testing the institutional foundations of neoliberalism, not just its policies find @thinkwoodist.bsky.social and @vapunkt.bsky.social blogs.lse.ac.uk/usappblog/20...

@thinkwoodist.bsky.social and my paper made it to the article of the week @the-syllabus.bsky.social

🗞️ In our new paper that just came out in Governance, James and I provide a new way to conceptualise how ideas and policies interdependently evolve. ⛓️ Based on analysing discourse and policy change in the US, we describe this as supply chain of economic ideas. 💡 More info and link below 👇

Publication alert! 🔔 My new article in @ripejournal.bsky.social shows that the way in which credit ratings assess climate risks is detrimental to chances of the green transition. www.tandfonline.com/eprint/DEWKJ... 1/n 🧵

"The nation-state is not a neutral scale of governance. It is a [...] form of political belonging organized through the distinction between members and non-members." In this new F&L Blog article, @vapunkt.bsky.social critically examines the left-wing case for the nation-state: tinyurl.com/55paa367

Their reflections about the ideology behind recent technological developments are both powerful & scary

Ich durfte mit der wunderbaren Laura Anninger sprechen - unser Gespräch ist nun im @derstandard.at zu finden 👇

Der Artikel von @vapunkt.bsky.social im heutigen @derstandard.at ("Seilbahnbetreiber denken in Horizonten von drei bis fünf Jahren") entspricht meinen Erfahrungen: Der Klimawandel wird von Touristiker:innen nicht (mehr) geleugnet, führt aber auch nicht zu mehr Einsatz für den Klimaschutz.
