I teach and research political theory at the University of York. I tweet because I sort of feel like I should for work.

"To thrive, Britain must embrace failure: If London, Oxford, and Cambridge continue to know that they are too big and too cherished to fail, Britain will not thrive. It is neither unpatriotic nor populist (as Burnham was accused of being) to say so." https://t.co/tXGlSG0aOY

[Bruno Leipold @BrunoLeipold]

Really pleased to advertise these 4 LSE postdocs in the history of popular government as part of our ERC Synergy Project "Popular Government in Global Perspective (POPGOV)"

I think this is now wrong. North English Cities are now just as dense as their European equivalents like Amsterdam, Hamburg, Copenhagen, etc... with extremely strong economies. There are some different patterns within that density I admit, but I don't think it matters much.

Hugely looking forward to this event in York next Tuesday, 24 March, when we'll be hosting Alex Gourevitch @alexgourevitch (Brown University) @BrownUPoliSci to talk about "Strikes and the Ideological Bind of the Fair Contract".

What kind of "competition" should competition policy promote? In a new post, @shaiagmon and I argue that friction btw competitors is key to realizing the social benefits of competition. Yet we routinely ignore it when designing competitive institutions. https://t.co/JNi62rvi7z

[Sam Bagg (migrating to @samuel-bagg.bsky.social) @samuel_e_bagg]

The chapter appears in a new volume on Democracy and Competition, which I co-edited with @AlfMoore (and will post about separately), which also contains many other exciting chapters: https://t.co/G9A33kckoZ

Paris, where I live, has transformed from a carbound into a bike-dominated city. In the process it became a trendsetter for the world's other cities. Now Paris's mayoral elections are a referendum on that shift. What lessons from Paris? Me @FinancialTimes https://t.co/lWIwEytWxQ
