That three governments are unable to say that this is against international law is a reminder why we are losing the international rules-based order (or what is left)

🚨 New paper: Will global environmental governance survive Trump? @rakhyunkim.bsky.social and I argue that its high complexity makes it more resilient than other governance systems. We give hegemonic stability theory a complexity science twist. 📖 Open Access: doi.org/10.1111/1758...

Too Complex to Fail: The Stability of Global Environmental Governance Beyond Hegemony
The recent US disengagement from global governance has revived concerns—first theorized in the 1970s and 1980s—about the vulnerability of international institutions to hegemonic decline. While these ...

Paradoxalmente, a principal causa da instabilidade política são os partidos "democráticos" do centro, sobretudo o PS, e não o Chega, que sozinho nunca teria alcançado a posição de "única oposição credível" que muitos lhe atribuem atualmente (3).

Infelizmente, também o PSD nunca conseguiu apresentar-se como alternativa competente. A governação falhada dos dois grandes partidos favorece o Chega e destabiliza o sistema político democrático. (2)

O PS foi e continua a ser o motor principal da ascensão do Chega em Portugal. Obrigado António Costa e Pedro Nuno Santos! A combinação de políticas fracas, sem coragem, desmotivadas e incrementais desde 2019 e uma oposição destrutiva e cobarde desde 2024 caracteriza a atuação do PS. (1)

Here’s what I think the result of today’s German elections will be. CDU/CSU: 27.7% AFD: 22.8% SPD: 14.1% Greens: 11.8% Linke (Left): 8.7% Others(FDP, BSW, FDP etc.): 14.9% And I wouldn’t be surprised if Die Linke got even more votes. (1/3)

Public :: Public Administration in a Dangerous Age
It was not so long ago that statesmen and intellectuals in many countries thought they had found the perfect strategy for governing well. Today we know better. We have realized that there is no fixed strategy for governing in turbulent times. Scholars in public administration must keep this reality in mind as we conduct our research. We need a better understanding of the processes by which high-level strategies for governing are designed and translated into programs of state reform.

I’m not sure that I totally agree, but this is an important discussion. Clearly environmentalism needs an upgrade. Environmentalism in 2024 is not the same as environmentalism in 1978, 1986, 1992 or 2019. It needs to adapt and change its strategy.
