Things change, and I think we are in the point of no return, although unsure how far full recognition is:

Few years ago, I wouldn't see a major Greek broadsheet printing out #Kosovo's name, PM, flag and territory.

Excited for #ISA2023, as always lots of great panels and not enough time.

We have organised a panel on state and recognition with some excellent contributions.

If you are around and you would like to meet, please DM me, it will be great to catch up with many colleagues.

At the same time, we must say that big issues with ISA accessibility and inclusivity remain, as explained by many colleagues recently- e.g. difficulties with visas for many.

On the occasion of the one year anniversary of Russia's full-scale invasion of #Ukraine, our Statehood, Sovereignty & Conflict @ECPR_PolCom Network has put together a reading list that we hope will contribute to a better understanding of these topics, and be a useful research and teaching resource.

Please read, share and contribute.
