PhD candidates and early career scholars tend to be very anxious thanks (also) to our “success bias”. CVs and social media mostly celebrate successes, but our trajectories are full of failures. I have just finished my teaching term and I have a nice collections of failures…1/3

K.S.Gleditsch taught me a lot by doing rather than saying: 1.Don’t criticise if you cannot provide suggestions/solutions. 2.Academic hierarchy/pedigree don’t matter, only research quality do. 3.Co-authoring is one of the best way to teach/learn. 4. Support early career scholars.

Fellow academics, What are the best lessons you took from your PhD advisor relationship that you find yourself applying and reproducing in your own career years later? Mindsets? Mantras? Work habits? Could also be ways NOT to be a mentor, if you care to share.

Grazie Mattia. Da scienziato politico non ce l'ho con il signor Caracciolo, ma con coloro che gli danno spazio chiamandolo in TV e in sedi istituzionali. Se leggessero letteratura internazionale lo terrebbero alla larga. Ecco loro sì che si fanno "intortare" (Caracciolo dixit).

The @isanet presidential address by Kristian S. Gleditsch is out @ISQ_Jrnl . The piece is on the relationship between prediction and policy. It is an important topic and can help us to think if and how as scholars we can affect policies and politics.

Sul referendum: «Non posso che votare no, perché è una riforma che non mi convince per niente». Assolutamente. La questione centrale è la qualità dei legislatori e della legislazione. Questa riforma riduce numeri, non modifica la qualità del parlamento.

Battutismo e potere:Le battute si fanno tra amici o le fanno i professionisti (satira/comici).Quindi in relazioni di potere pari o asimmetriche dove il potente è bersaglio. Usare battute per deridere argomenti di chi non è in posizioni favorevoli di potere è un atto codardo. 5/12

Capisco che forse l'unica cosa da fare è metterla sul ridere. Non posso a priori valutare il lavoro del comitato, ma la caratteristica principale dei nominati è che sono opinionisti. Forse avremmo bisogno di analisi anziché di opinioni. Analisi basate su ricerca e studio.

During my PhD I told my supervisor that I often felt inadequate. He introduced me to the “moron-genius pendulum”. if stuck on “moron”, you will feel inadequate, though motivated. If stuck on “genius”, you are a moron, be humble. There will be plenty “moron days”, just swing.

Italian Ministry of Culture says he will read eventually the books he already voted for while he was sitting in an important literature award jury. Voting now, reading then. Let’s make Italian culture great again, eventually.

Se non si capisce che il merito che osservate (punto di arrivo) senza pari opportunità è solo privilegio, la fermerei qui la discussione. Poi il merito dei risultati è fondamentale, ma con punto di partenza uguale. È discussione classica tra destra e sinistra.E mostra dove state.

Here the full video (around 55 minutes) of my lecture "Our (In)securities". It could be useful for our @Politics_Oxford students revising IR and International Security & Conflict papers. But maybe also interesting for students at other institutions.

“Our (in)securities". What do we study in international security ? What happened in the past 3 months? What could be happening? What about our understanding and study of international security? Initial reflections as teacher and scholar. my slides here 1/8

Le parole del senatore @matteorenzi su Arabia Saudita mi hanno turbato profondamente. L'Arabia Saudita è una dittatura, leggete il rapporto HRW. Consiglio anche questo grafico, per evitare nel futuro "memorie selettive" su diritti umani e altri paesi.

Dear @Politics_Oxford International & Security Conflict students, following my hint on @janetilewis ' "How Insurgency Begins", hereafter a selection of recent books by scholars working on different dimensions of civil war. They profoundly influenced how we understand civil wars.

And after this very convoluted journey it happens that I fly back to Europe the same day the UK is leaving the EU. I decided to become an academic in the UK, I became father in the UK. I am who I am also thanks to the UK, there is a British bit in me. It is a very sad day, for me
