Coming soon in @phenomenalworld.bsky.social’s inaugural issue on American Power — my essay ‘Mosaic of Deterrence’ examines the imperial apparatus directed at #Iran, from financial sanctions to the destruction of civilian infrastructure, and its toll on Iranian society and political economy.

ICYMI: Mathias Hein Jessen and Nicolai von Eggers, 'Governmentality and Statification: Towards a Foucauldian Theory of the State' - focuses on Foucault’s notion of the state as a process of ‘statification’. journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
As expected, @thunen.bsky.social is absolutely on 🔥 in this interview. There’s no one out there with more receipts on the international political economy of US empire. Every sentence full of insight.
