Not my intention here to argue for or against the claim that die linke’s point of view ultimately “helps” the Kremlin. Just saying it’s completely misleading to say its stance today stems from some sort of SED Russian Connection.

Regarding action-guidance in the Ukraine case, this leads it to push any German government of the day towards greater diplomatic efforts, and away from its parochial attitude towards potential peacemaking agents such as China and Brazil. Nothing too bewildering about this I think

With respect, that’s nonsense. The party today has nothing to do with the SED. It has clearly labelled Russia the aggressor and sees it as an imperialist actor. It does, however, remain wary of American imperialism as well, and sticks to a principled opposition to German militarisation.

Here is a recent contribution of mine, investigating a dilemma I think arises for policymakers favoring inclusive approaches to unauthorized immigrant residence:

Importantly, all published "dilemmas" papers are critically discussed by experts from political theory, empirical social science, and policy-making. You can find the discussion fora here:

We have since commissioned and published many papers on a variety of hard moral dilemmas, ranging from questions of refugee protection to temporary labor programs and regularization policy. Here is one special issue:

We ask: Where and for which actors do hard moral dilemmas exist in migration policy-making? And how could political theory help navigate/mitigate them? The main statement of the research program is contained in this article in 'Migration Studies:'

Some of this work was part of my dissertation, recently awarded the ECPR's Jean Blondel Prize. Some of it is new and still in the initial stages.

Part 2 further explores legitimacy. When is legitimacy fatally undermined? What if policymakers try their best, but are thwarted by structural obstacles? What explains the enduring divergence between lib-dem values and the conduct of lib-dem border regimes? What are the implications of illegitimacy?
comment in response to

The book's first part offers a novel philosophical argument, based on the principal suitability of exclusion powers to promote citizens' freedom and equality, to establish the first claim; and a range of case studies to defend and illustrate the second one.
