1/5 Martin Holland and I have just had the overarching article for our special issue 'The EU in the Indo-Pacific' published in Global Policy. We conducted 111 interviews across eight locations asking fairly simple question: what role for the EU in the Indo-Pacific?

@jumacdo @waikato Thanks Julia 😊

I'll see you in KL right?

[Nicholas Ross SMITH @1NRSmith]

I am excited to report that I am joining @waikato as a Senior Lecturer in International Relations, starting June 1st.

I was so impressed with the University and, in particular, the School of Law, Politics, and Philosophy.

[Nicholas Ross SMITH @1NRSmith]

@Chris___Wilson @waikato Thanks mate. Yeah I'm stoked.

[Nicholas Ross SMITH @1NRSmith]

@AngelaLewis2024 @SamJDean Actually though, I thought Arsenal played well vs City and were desperately unlucky. I am still worried about an Arsenal slip up

1/ Some good news: We have a new article out in our EU in the Indo-Pacific (EUIP) special issue with Global Policy

'Reaching the Summit or a Plateau? The EU–New Zealand Relationship in the Indo-Pacific'

7/ The timing matters. With US foreign policy in flux under Trump 2.0, the EU has a real opportunity to position itself as a stable, like-minded partner in the Indo-Pacific.

6/ We offer three policy recommendations for the EU:
→ Leverage the positive bilateral relationship with NZ
→ Communicate the IPS more clearly
→ Consolidate EU normative leadership amid geopolitical uncertainty

Amazing scenes. The Chinese funded stadium looks fantastic too.

[AussieScout @scout_aussie]

These scenes from the Solomon Kings vs. South Melbourne match in the OFC Pro League are wonderful to see.

One wonders if there’s an opportunity for the A-League to expand to the Solomon Islands on terms similar to the NRL’s expansion to Papua New Guinea.

Nice to see our Global Policy article is the number 1 trending article in IR at the moment.

@AngelaLewis2024 @septimusajprime The only thing I defend Arsenal on is their European pedigree because they beat my team (Parma) in the Cup winners Cup in 1994
