- Reposted by Centre of Advanced International Studies✨ New publication alert ✨ @ripejournal.bsky.social just gave me the best birthday present! My paper, co-authored with Samuele Bibi and Nicole Cerpa Vielma, discusses how Latin America's integration into international trade and global finance has influenced political cycles.

- Reposted by Centre of Advanced International Studies🚨 New paper out in European Journal of IR 🚨 Faiz Sheikh and I draw on Ibn Khaldun’s political thought to rethink the crisis of liberal international order—not as a problem of technique, but as an unresolved and destructive tension between LIO’s claim to universalism and its entrenched whiteness.
