A Suggestion for the EU’s Global Strategy and the Resolution of the Georgian/South Ossetian Conflict0
- International Relations and Global Affairs, Op-ed
- 12/09/2016
Last June, beclouded by Brexit, the EU launched its new Global Strategy. The strategy focuses on a number of issues and has opened a possibility for the EU to re-evaluate previous, and improve future, engagements. A case in need of a re-evaluation is the conflict in Georgia. Here the EU promotes state-building as the foundation for peace.

Affairs in which it was possible to write down such words seem worlds away from the situation we live in today, when the very concept of the European Union is challenged and put to a test, especially after the Brexit vote.

- Environment and Energy, Op-ed, Social and Economic Policy
- 03/07/2019
Genetic information of pathogens is of great importance for disease control, public health and research. Nevertheless, arguing over who owns the rights to that genetic information hinders timely access to knowledge that is highly relevant for an efficient public health response and eventually, the potential use of such resources in research.

A British nuclear disaster? The go- ahead for Hinkley Point C1
- Environment and Energy, Op-ed
- 03/11/2016
The terrifyingly bad-value Hinkley Point C deal based on out-dated renewables projections and unproven nuclear technology offers an already archaic answer to a problem that could be solved with ever- cheaper alternative renewables. Instead, affirmation of the nuclear renaissance for the UK demonstrates a desperate grasp at international cooperation in the wake of Brexit.
