I have a new piece out in GSQ, co-authored with B. Reinsberg. Our paper examines how established multilateral development banks respond when new MDBs enter the field. It finds that legacy MDBs generally confront new competitors by undertaking projects within their geographical or sectoral domains.

Als Bildungsaufsteiger, der als erstes Kind der Familie Abitur gemacht und studiert hat, aus einem ländlich-katholischen Haushalt ohne Bücher, beschämt mich das. Dieses Land war einmal stolz darauf, über Bildung Chancen zum Aufstieg zu ermöglichen. Jetzt wird Herkunft wieder Schicksal? (Guardian)

🚨 PUBLICATION ALERT 🚨 I am extremely excited that the First View of my new article "Strongmen, Populism, and Soccer: Comparing Silvio Berlusconi, Viktor Orbán, and Donald Trump" is now available. It was quite an ordeal to get it past reviewer 2, but I made it with help of special issue editors.

It was a powerful event with Gordon Brown at the UoG this evening. Launching his new book, Brown energetically linked the breakdown of the rules-based international order to collapsing civic ties ('Bowling alone'). Interesting argument and food for thought!

I visited the site of the Nuremberg Trials this week. Given the horrors they responded to, it's of course been difficult. At the same time, it has been reassuring. The trials show that it is possible to build international institutions that advance the cause of justice.
