"It is not the task of a university to take a centralised position on foreign policy issues. However, when...serious and large-scale war crimes are deliberately committed by a government and when there is an evident risk of genocide, there are strong reasons to...condemn such acts." Bravo Uppsala!👏

I love the critique - adrianbua.bsky.social engages with the question that was part of why I wrote the book: what if all that ‘participation’ and ‘deliberation’ actually achieve is to co-opt people who could have used their passion for social justice differently and more meaningfully?
