- It’s been years in the making and shaped by so many conversations with readers, colleagues, and friends. I’m deeply grateful for their feedback and encouragement along the way. @oxfordacademic.bsky.social @nclpolitics.bsky.social
- The book argues that status isn't something states have—it's something made among them. Using network analysis of diplomatic relations, it shows how patterns of recognition born of empire still shape who's seen as "worthy" today.
- For those interested in IR theory, diplomacy, and security—this one’s for you. I hope it sparks new conversations about recognition, hierarchy, and the social foundations of world order. Always happy to connect with others working on these questions and would love to hear what you think!

Check it out if you are interested in how war makes states also in its aftermath, and how the wars of a distant past explain the variation of state capacity within Latin America until today.

- Reposted by Marina DuqueThe United States and Europe have had 1000 days to tip the balance of military power decisively in Ukraine’s favor, but they chose not to. Biden’s decision on ATACMS will help, but like much else in this war, it is too little too late. My latest for the @bulletinatomic.bsky.social
