The pace of development is amazing. It’s like a different city every time I visit but some things stay the same … nothing quite like a fraternal gift 😉

I'll be discussing the role of regional development banks in the global political economy tomorrow and hopefully setting the scene for the other three participants to focus on the New Development Bank. There's a Zoom link below. It's 7am UK time, get the coffee on.

A UK university satellite campus next to the site the German Army surrendered Breslau in 1945. I may need to think about what that means for a while

Started messing with LLM as a search tool. Could it identify EBRD employees and their university education? looking for socialisation patterns relations, etc. not wholly convinced with the accuracy of the list 🤔

Academic year 2025-26 has been rather stressful so it was nice to be reminded why I started all this in the first place: research. Thanks to two great referees (peer review not broken) & anyone who sat through me trying to make sense of babayagas looming over cityscapes & tanks in fields.

The next Global Policy North Workshop will be hosted by the Centre for Global Law and Governance at the University of St Andrews 24-25 June 2026. Call for papers in the attached but TL;DR version ... if you're working on global governance/policy you'll find it interesting!

If anyone wants to know how I've been spending my Monday this describes it pretty well. Too right there's an issue, that O2 are totally bloody useless

Very sad that I'll miss the 6th Global Policy North workshop @uofglasgow.bsky.social 6-7 Nov 2025 due to another longstanding commitment. CFP attached - do apply if you're working on global governance broadly conceived. it's pluralist and engaged in the best sense and lovely people too!

Hotspur Mill. Presumably cheaper to burn it down and clear the site rather than redevelop with the old building intact.

Bit of a change of tack for me. New co-authored piece with Julija Loginovic - does the UN SDGs hybrid institutional complex work? TL;DR not in terms of sustainable development but yes if they're about reasserting class based forms of governance
