I am happy to see that Palgrave Macmillan has published our book ”The Depth and Size of the European Union in a Time of War”, open-access. The book sheds light on the implications for the size and depth of the EU during a time of war in Europe. link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

Fick i en längre intervju med svenska upplagan av YLE möjlighet att kommentera utvecklingen i Georgien. Intervjun gjordes 1 dec. Där nämner jag bland annat säkerhetsriskerna för Georgien på sikt om landets regering fortsätter att distansera sig från väst. yle.fi/a/7-10068378
