- 📣 It’s publication day for the updated, paperback edition of 'Circle of Stars: A History of the EU - And The People Who Made It'. I've been bowled over by the response to the hardback and can't wait for the book to reach an even wider readership @YaleBooks yalebooks.co.uk/book/9780300...
- New book out at @oxfordacademic.bsky.social on COVID and the EU by @nenaoana.bsky.social @alexmoise.bsky.social and Hanspeter Kriesi. The book was presented at the @eui-eu.bsky.social @eui-sps.bsky.social with very insightful comments by @simonhix.bsky.social www.eui.eu/events?id=57...
- The book is just out and will be discussed at @ces-europe.bsky.social in Philadelphia on Wed 25/06 with comments by @vanghel.bsky.social @dermothodson.bsky.social! Stay tuned for more threads about the book once the busy period gets less busy 🫠! global.oup.com/academic/pro...
- It was a privilege to discuss this great book by @ztruchlewski.bsky.social, @nenaoana.bsky.social, @alexmoise.bsky.social and Hanspeter Kriesi @ces-europe.bsky.social . It is a must read on how Europeans stood together during the pandemic and whether such solidarity was exceptional or the new norm.
- 'However frustrated Bloom would have been over the project’s delays, he would have nodded vigorously at its proposed route, especially the section from Glasnevin to Mater station on his own Eccles Street.'

- 'Ulysses’ fixation with transport...doesn’t just provide colour and comic relief. It carries James Joyce’s own hopes for a new Ireland that achieves its potential.' As Bloomsday nears, read my article on Dublin's controversial metro project in @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
- "Many theories of European Integration have articulated, explicitly or implicitly, a sense of EU hegemony". Interesting and timely new take on integration theory by @patrickholden.bsky.social in @jei-publication.bsky.social www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....
- I’m going to elect a Pope… Thanks to @dermothodson.bsky.social @benworthy.bsky.social and everyone at @bbkhistorical.bsky.social
- Many congrats, Conor.
- 50 years ago today, the first European Council was held in Dublin, putting the heads of state or government at the centre of European integration. For all its shortcomings, it has been remarkably effective at building & maintaining consensus in times of crisis. www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rBt...
