My latest article with Daniel Connolly, 'Domination for the Rest? Creating and Contesting Secondary State-Led International Hierarchies' has just been published in International Studies Quarterly @ISQ_Jrnl.

Max Broad, Minsun Hong and I consider some of the ways that Korea, Australia and other so-called 'middle powers' are responding to the Trump tariffs.

No grand coalitions, but nonetheless lots of interesting bespoke tactics to consider (/learn from).

Re-upping this piece I wrote back in 2020 about South Korea's nuclear debates and the legacies of Hiroshima.

The 80th anniversary this week should be cause for sombre reflection on the state of nuclear risks in the Indo-Pacific and beyond.

Fun to be quoted in @nytimes on Asia's response to the Trump tariffs.

My latest, together with Daniel Connolly, on S. Korea and the Trump tariffs.

Things are moving fast on this front, and I'm glad to see S. Korea has now secured an extension on the negotiation deadline until August 1.

While South Korea might have to offer a deal agreeable to Trump, Seoul has experience in finding compromise and defending against powerful states’ economic pressure, write Alexander M Hynd and Daniel Connolly.

South Korea has been in turmoil since former President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law and was impeached. Can the next leader bring the country back together? @alexandermhynd @unimelb https://t.co/lROdtK5lDg

South Korea has been a stable democracy since the 1980s, but the country was plunged into a short-lived, but severe, constitutional crisis. Here’s how it played out. @alexandermhynd from @unsw explains. https://t.co/94JOw3ebRN

[Alexander M. Hynd @AlexanderMHynd]

Here is a very quick explainer from (a much sleep-deprived!) me on the shocking events taking place in South Korea over the last 14 hours. @ConversationEDU
