1/ What does it look like when Western-backed investment reproduces the same dynamics as the corrosive capital it claims to counter? Our case study on the Vareš mining project in BiH🇧🇦 examines corrosive capital — and what it costs when the source is a liberal democracy. 🧵👇

I’ve been playing quite a few wargames recently, and 2026 has a frightening “last-round madness” vibe. No shadow of the future. Players start their riskiest moves as if there were no tomorrow - especially scary when you take into account the unusually high average age of most world leaders involved.

Following the Kremlin playbook, the authoritarian regime in Serbia is suppressing the student movement, opposition groups, and other domestic critics by portraying them as agents of a Western-backed colour revolution.

When a government sends police into a university, it sends a clear message: dissent is unwelcome. In Novi Sad, students and professors protesting the dismissal of Professor Jelena Kleut were removed by force from the Faculty of Philosophy.
