Borrowed from psychiatry, the term “ontological security” describes how nations understand themselves and their place in the world – and how it can break down. @1NRSmith @waikato theconversation.com/national-insec…
I am excited to report that I am joining @waikato as a Senior Lecturer in International Relations, starting June 1st. I was so impressed with the University and, in particular, the School of Law, Politics, and Philosophy.
@Chris___Wilson @waikato Thanks mate. Yeah I'm stoked.
@AngelaLewis2024 @SamJDean Actually though, I thought Arsenal played well vs City and were desperately unlucky. I am still worried about an Arsenal slip up

📖| « Re-sécuritiser » le Pacifique : comment le Forum des îles du Pacifique agit face à l’Indo-Pacifique Retrouvez l’analyse de Nicholas Ross Smith (@1NRSmith), chercheur indépendant spécialisé en relations internationales et membre du EU Jean Monnet Network on the EU in the Indo-Pacific , sur #LeRubicon. lerubicon.org/re-securitiser…
1/ Some good news: We have a new article out in our EU in the Indo-Pacific (EUIP) special issue with Global Policy 'Reaching the Summit or a Plateau? The EU–New Zealand Relationship in the Indo-Pacific' doi.org/10.1111/1758-5…
7/ The timing matters. With US foreign policy in flux under Trump 2.0, the EU has a real opportunity to position itself as a stable, like-minded partner in the Indo-Pacific.
6/ We offer three policy recommendations for the EU: → Leverage the positive bilateral relationship with NZ → Communicate the IPS more clearly → Consolidate EU normative leadership amid geopolitical uncertainty
Amazing scenes. The Chinese funded stadium looks fantastic too.
These scenes from the Solomon Kings vs. South Melbourne match in the OFC Pro League are wonderful to see. One wonders if there’s an opportunity for the A-League to expand to the Solomon Islands on terms similar to the NRL’s expansion to Papua New Guinea.
Nice to see our Global Policy article is the number 1 trending article in IR at the moment. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/17…
@AngelaLewis2024 @septimusajprime The only thing I defend Arsenal on is their European pedigree because they beat my team (Parma) in the Cup winners Cup in 1994
