Attending my first International Studies Association in San Francisco #ISA2024. My panel is Friday pm, big thanks to @PeiYuWei1 for putting it together. MP for catch-ups and meetings. Very happy to grab a coffee to discuss sanctions and/or EU foreign policy (among other things)

Europe - Je t'aime, moi non plus 🇪🇺🇨🇭 We’re honored to welcome Gilbert Casasus (Uni Fribourg) & Christine von Dach (Ambasciata di Svizzera in Italia) to European University Institute today! Together with Marco Del Panta, Jan Lepeu, Adrienne Héritier & our Swiss Chairs, they are diving into the complexities of Swiss-EU relations.

The European University Institute is No. 6 globally in #PoliticalScience on the ShanghaiRanking! 👏   While rankings don’t tell the full story of excellence, this recognition is a testament to our outstanding academic community’s exceptional research and innovative teaching. Kudos to Political and Social Sciences at EUI!

One of the extraordinary things about what's happening in Syria is that both the Assad regime and HTS are targeted by multilateral sanctions. After Assad's ouster, any political process to reconstitute the Syrian state will require stepwise sanctions relief for both sides.

I wonder if the Syria sanctions will be now coded as ‘effective’ in history books and polisci databases. Worth remembering that large parts of the rebels are also under western sanctions before paining it as a masterpiece of economic coercion strategy….

🚨 New Year, New Publication: For the upcoming International Politics Forum on the (re-)organising of European Security following the 🇷🇺 invasion of 🇺🇦, I wrote this article focusing on the sanctions pillar of the 🇪🇺 response to the full-scale invasion. link.springer.com/article/10.105…

Finally, a month after the political decision, the EU will lift sanctions on Monday on Syrian energy, transport, infrastructure and crucially the banking sector. First major Western easing of sanctions.

I had the pleasure to appear in Jan Dunin-Wasowicz's podcast to discuss the past, present and future of EU sanctions. Among other things how the Russia sanctions differ from previous uses, where EU sanctions come from, and how they have evolved over time. podcasts.apple.com/ch/podcast/thi…

Slovenia in response to US sanctions on ICC judges: “Due to the inclusion of a citizen of a EU member state on the US sanctions list, Slovenia will propose the immediate activation of the EU blocking act.”
