Good to be at GLOBSEC 2025 in Prague. 20 years strong! My first Forum since joining the International Advisory Board. Impressed by CZ President Petr Pavel’s clarity and commitment to regional security and transatlantic relations. @globsec.bsky.social

Teaching PoliSci again at #Stanford Winter 2025 Class title: "Superpower California" - how large sub-nationals operate within the global commons (e.g., Texas, Quebec, Scotland, Catalonia) I can list the many ways #California operates as a superpower, curious to hear from others. Thoughts?
