Central argument: Neither war nor peace is a unitary package that evolved at a single point in time. Both have deep roots and co-evolved gradually through a mosaic-like trajectory, with distinct but interacting components emerging at different moments over evolutionary time.

➡️ “Rule-takers or rule-makers? How regional hubs design digital governance frameworks” by Sandra J. Bandemer, Benjamin Daßler, Berthold Rittberger, Moritz Weiss, and Kathrin Will — now available open access in Globalizations! 🌍 https://t.co/lIe3kILvmF

🎉 New research! 📄 In a new paper in #Globalizations, #EISS Secretary General Moritz Weiss and colleagues explore whether regional powers are merely adapting to global digital rules—or actively shaping them

[European Initiative for Security Studies @EISSnetwork]

Focusing on cases like Turkey, India, and South Africa, they show that these countries are not passive rule-takers. Instead, they selectively draw from competing governance models to build their own hybrid digital frameworks
