Deeply honored to be appointed by the Australian National University as the 2026 Desmond J. Ball Visiting Chair in Strategic Studies. Des Ball was one of the greatest strategic thinkers in the world, and I had the privilege of working with him since I first met him in 1983, till his passing away in 2016. He inspired me to get into strategic studies and became a mentor, friend and collaborator. I will be in Canberra in May (8-12) to give the lecture on his honor, as well as few others at ANU, and visit Melbourne (6-7), Sydney (13) and Brisbane (14-15) to give talks on my book The Once and Future World Order. Several of these other city lectures are being organized by the Australian Institute of International Affairs as well as universities there.

Extremely honoured and it was a thoroughly pleasant experience working with the editors @IndrajitRoyYork and Nora and the @IAJournal_CH team to produce my piece on theorising the multiplex through extremist movements!

Pls read the entire special issue for its many gems!

[Prof. Indrajit Roy 🇮🇳 @indrajitroy.bsky.social @IndrajitRoyYork]

As brute force ruptures #worldorder, our collaborative engagement with @AmitavAcharya's work on #Multiplexity, now out with @IAJournal_CH, might help make sense of the overlaps (and tensions) between realist, liberal and critical readings of #InternationalRelations. (1/4)

Was looking up the Department of War’s social media page to find smth from a speech but the autocomplete suggests Department of Pizza. It’s time to call it a day, I guess.

@chenchenzh That's an exquisite cover design. Can't wait for this Chenchen.
