My new piece in @ConversationUK on the risks of replacing diplomats with business dealmakers in the Ukraine peace talks. While business envoys can bring new ideas, their transactional tendencies may lead to a settlement that is neither fair nor stable https://t.co/9r3kHOTVte

Beyond ecstatic that @RISjnl published my article “Legitimising International Orders: the Symbolic Dimension of Surrender”. It grew out of my postdoc with Andrew Linklater on symbolic politics @InterpolAber, fascination with Thucydides & Jervis, and obsession with war & surrender
