    After 6 years, 46 publications, 49 co/organised events, 300+ public speaking engagements and efforts behind the scenes, it is time for me to bow out from the @EU_ISS. A big thank you to those that supported my efforts. I’ll reveal my new post/s here tomorrow…

    Population of Kiev = 2.9 million Barcelona = 1.6 m Brussels = 2 m Hamburg = 1.6 m Paris = 2.2 m Rome = 2.8 m Vienna = 1.9 m Let these numbers sink in as Putin’s missiles hit the city this weekend. God speed 🇺🇦

    Europe spends more time speaking about and thinking of “power” than actually accruing any… we theorise it and even invent sophisticated concepts to side-step the inconvenience of its real meaning. Fear of power.
