Number of European students travelling to the USA for a university degree remains... steady (number of Indian nationals is down) Perhaps it will decline in the future, but worth to be a bit more critical about all the anecdotal exodus stories

More than 20% of EU exports to the US in 2024 concerned medicinal and pharmaceutical products and medicaments 👇 If those are subject to tariffs (Trump said "no", VDL said "yes"), the American healthcare system will be paying the bill

I value pluralism in IR scholarship, but we can certainly do with a few less "turns"

Kanttekeningen, prima. Maar ik vrees dat de lat toch echt hoger moet in het onderwijs (van basisschool tot MBO en universiteit). En dat kost geld. Met de huidige PISA-scores gaan we het niet redden in de 21ste eeuw

We have a cover for the 4th edition of our textbook International Organization (Bloomsbury) Our book continues to make the case to "go inside" the political system of international organizations. Hope the cover clearly reflects that

Waking up to wild Trump tariffs (but glad to see that VDL was already defending EU interest during a press conference at 5am) Many economists will undoubtedly offer smart economic analysis, but short 🧵 with geopolitical pointers 1/5

One can draw various conclusions from the analysis, but let me make also a critical remark. Despite a massive amount of research on domestic contestation and populism, this article shows that it is limited mostly to (a) the USA, UK and CAN and (b) about the EU and NAFTA
