Are you trying to understand our crazy world? What lies behind Trump, Putin and Xi? How can we survive the Age of "Unorder" where there are no agreed-upon rules, norms, or even truths? I have great news: a short, optimistic book w a whopping discount. Link below: www.waterstones.com/book/survivi...
Enjoyed huddling with @markhleonard.bsky.social, @rikefranke.bsky.social, @jankaoertel.bsky.social & Majda Ruge to record this World in 30 Mins episode at #MSC2026. My take: despite it all, there are grounds to be upbeat about today's more honest(ish) Europe-US relationship.

In our inaugural NPP publication, @ecfr.eu's director @markhleonard.bsky.social ventures a comprehensive intellectual anatomy of the "new right" - what distinguishes it, how it does politics and what it wants to achieve.

Why are far right parties leading the opinion polls in so many countries? They aren't nostalgically trying to create a better yesterday but v modern and adapted to our world. Unless mainstream parties understand them they won't be able to resist or defeat them. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
Very Exciting - the galleys for my new book 'Surviving Chaos: Geopolitics when the rules fail" arrived in the post today (look at the video). You can pre-order the book here: www.amazon.co.uk/Surviving-Ch...

In Davos a new world is emerging, a post-western geopolitics. Emmanuel Macron has colourful language and Raybans but even more striking was the plea from the uber-altanticist European Commission President @vonderleyen.ec.europa.eu for "a new independent Europe".
🎧 New Week, New episode!

Am in @Davos to talk about geopolitics, global Un-order, AI, China, Europe and Greenland among other things. I recorded a special issue of the World in 30 Minutes podcast with Finnish President Alex Stubb. Very much recommended: ecfr.eu/podcasts/epi...
The Greenland situation could turn into the biggest transtlantic crisis since Suez. Together with colleagues @ecfr we have just published a piece looking at what "cards" European nations hold on Greenland (to use Pres Trump's phrase). There is lots that Europeans can do: ecfr.eu/article/arct...
So many interesting findings and points of analysis in @ecfr.eu new global opinion survey. @markhleonard.bsky.social & colleagues polled 26k people in 21 countries around the world and found that - on whole range of measures - Trump’s 2nd term is playing into China’s hands ⬇️

How is Trump making China great again & what does it mean for Europe? New ECFR survey data shows that Trump’s “America First” approach is pushing states closer to China while reducing fear of the US.
