Had a fantastic time at the IPEG workshop at the The University of Edinburgh / P&IR Edinburgh! It was wonderful catching up with friends, returning to my alma mater, and diving into all things IPE. Now on to Philadelphie for APSA. @ESEIulaval / CÉRIUM

This from Abdulkhaleq Abdulla sums up how a lot of Gulf officials feel: "We benefit from [Israel] weakening Iran and its proxies but we see the cost of emboldening Netanyahu. We're entrapped in this... we have two devils. One is just as bad as the other." ft.com/content/100faf…


🇾🇪 C’est parti pour la grande conférence sur le Yémen de Laurent Bonnefoy, chercheur CNRS 🌍 & CERI Sciences Po, en résidence au CÉRIUM cette semaine, qui s’intéresse, entre autres, à la «capacité de résistance des Houthis à l’intérieur même du pays». FAS-UMontréal Laurence Deschamps-Laporte

Saudi Aramco is taking on debt to sustain its dividend (that mostly goes to the gov). In nine months, its position has moved from net cash of $27.4 bn to net debt of $8.9 bn. That means in 2024 Aramco has spent ~$130 million **daily** that it didn’t have. aramco.com/-/media/public…

This shifting worldview is accompanied by greater self-assurance in the ability of Gulf states to pursue their own national interests regardless of the party in power in Washington. Kristin Diwan agsiw.org/gulf-popular-i…
