1/5 Martin Holland and I have just had the overarching article for our special issue 'The EU in the Indo-Pacific' published in Global Policy. We conducted 111 interviews across eight locations asking fairly simple question: what role for the EU in the Indo-Pacific?

Borrowed from psychiatry, the term “ontological security” describes how nations understand themselves and their place in the world – and how it can break down. @1nrsmith @waikato theconversation.com/national…

I am excited to report that I am joining @waikato as a Senior Lecturer in International Relations, starting June 1st.
I was so impressed with the University and, in particular, the School of Law, Politics, and Philosophy.

6/ We offer three policy recommendations for the EU:
→ Leverage the positive bilateral relationship with NZ
→ Communicate the IPS more clearly
→ Consolidate EU normative leadership amid geopolitical uncertainty

7/ The timing matters. With US foreign policy in flux under Trump 2.0, the EU has a real opportunity to position itself as a stable, like-minded partner in the Indo-Pacific.

Amazing scenes. The Chinese funded stadium looks fantastic too.

These scenes from the Solomon Kings vs. South Melbourne match in the OFC Pro League are wonderful to see.
One wonders if there’s an opportunity for the A-League to expand to the Solomon Islands on terms similar to the NRL’s expansion to Papua New Guinea.

Canada’s Mark Carney is proposing a new alliance of ‘middle powers’ to offset over-reliance on the US and China. New Zealand would have good reason to be involved. @1nrsmith @UCNZ theconversation.com/in-trump…

Definite banger.
But give me the Argentinian national anthem with gigantic blokes that are crying!

La Marseillaise is always a banger
But it sounds even better in a nuclear submarine base

4/5 But in a region where security dominates the foreign policy agenda, the EU's limitations are hard to ignore. And perhaps most striking: very few of the people we spoke to had even heard of the EU's Indo-Pacific Strategy.

5/5 We lay out two paths forward — a revised IPS 2.0 built around what the EU actually does well, or stepping back from an overarching strategy and focusing on bilateral relationships instead. Full article (open access):
