I dagens Aftenposten skriver jeg om hvorfor forfekting av multipolaritet er gunstig for Russland og hvorfor det ser ut til å funke

Putin insisterer på at verden er multipolar. Hvorfor?

Russia's gas station economy is the size of Italy's. It has lost hundreds of thousands of soldiers. Yet more leaders than ever call it a great power. How? I explain the link between multipolarity and status-seeking in a new @ejir.bsky.social article Link: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Everyone is talking about the Donroe Doctrine or whatever. Trump cannot recreate informal empire in the hemisphere if Latin American trade ties with 🇨🇳 and 🇪🇺 continue to increase in density. Sure, it can "win" some battles.

Jeg skriver i Dagens Næringsliv om noe som har gått litt under radaren i utkastet til fredsavtalen mellom Russland og Ukraina: G7/8 medlemskap til Russland. Og om symbolikken bak det: www.dn.no/innlegg/ukra...

For Putin er dette full pott

G7 skal igjen bli til G8. Med Russland som nygammelt medlem. Vesten er i ferd med å bøye av.

Jeg har en kronikk i @aftenposten.no i dag om at Kina ikke er supermakten du tror den er. Tidligere har jeg skrevet mye om at Kina ikke matcher USA militært. Ny forskning viser at USA også er økonomisk overlegen. Les mer her: www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

aftenposten.no

Kinas vekst er betydelig overdrevet.

Kina fremstilles som en supermakt på linje med USA. Denne ideen faller sammen så fort du ser på tallene som faktisk betyr noe.

I dagens @aftenposten.no skriver jeg og @miroslavnemcok.bsky.social om hvorfor Slovakia has blitt EUs hodepine. Statsminister Fico reiser til Moskva og lar seg bruke i russisk propaganda. Det setter både EUs troverdighet og enigheten om Ukraina-støtte på spill www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...

Slovak PM Fico is about to land in Moscow to stand by Putin, legitimizing Russia’s narrative and defying EU foreign policy. As @palroren.bsky.social and I argue, Fico’s domestic pressure is now a warning sign for EU unity. www.aftenposten.no/meninger/kro...

Norges internasjonalt bindende klimamål handler mest om EUs måloppnåelse og lite om norsk innsats. Ni år etter at målet ble satt, er det uklart om Europeiske Union (EU) vil lykkes – og Norges ansvar er i det blå. Les mitt innlegg og bli forvirret på et høyere nivå! www.aftenposten.no/meninger/deb...

Har EU ansvaret for å kutte norske utslipp?

Norge ligger nå an til å bidra mer negativt enn positivt til EUs mål.
