Multilateralism today appears to be in severe crisis. Is there still a role for IOs to play?

We had the pleasure to host Ambassador Schmidt-Bremme (Germany UN Vienna) as part of @vytasjan and my working group at the @Studienstiftung’s Vienna Summer Academy last night.

Space, drugs, crime, and nuclear energy – these are only some of the numerous topics dealt with at the UN’s office in Vienna (UN Vienna) 🇺🇳

Vytautas Jankauskas and I explored with our students the Vienna International Centre and learned more about the UN and associated organizations.

War, displacement, persecution
– How does the UN address steadily increasing numbers of refugees?

In our meeting, Ruth Schöffl from the UNHCR’s office in Vienna (@refugees) 🇺🇳 explained how numerous actors come together to help the displaced and uphold human rights.

What is Ukraine’s perspective on the state of multilateralism in the shadow of Russia’s aggression?

We met today with Ambassador Yevhenii Tsymbaliuk (Yevhenii Tsymbaliuk), the Permanent Representative of Ukraine 🇺🇦 to International Organizations in Vienna (@UKRinOSCE).

We had a very good discussion in 2 panels on #TextAsData @ #ib23 zeppelin universität. Many thanks to presenters and participants! Vytautas Jankauskas Evgenija Kroeker Timon Forster Miriam Schirmer Christian Rauh Daniel Baumann Mia Nahrgang

How do IO bureaucracies react when challenged by powerful states?

Vytautas Jankauskas & I argue that their response is shaped by the Agent’s Dilemma: they carefully navigate a trade-off between power and purpose by ignoring, appeasing, blurring, or attacking.

Our most recent research is out! 🥳 To me, it's an example of how much value and innovation collaborative and interdisciplinary work can bring (even if the academic system incentivizes single autorship)

I am really glad to see our article published today by Regulation & Governance! Together with Christoph Knill@[email protected] and Louisa Bayerlein, we examine how to ensure obedient behaviour in international organizations. Control alone is not enough!

Walking through the breathtakingly beautiful #Vilnius on a sunshiny June morning.

It’s my first time here and I can only say: It is basically a crime that this major European city is not easily and frequently reachable by #CrossBorderRail from the rest of the EU.
