It’s been 10 years since I started teaching #QCA at the Social Sciences Summer School at USI in Lugano. So rewarding to see how PhD students and researchers apply the method in creative ways to topics from across the social sciences. Many thanks to this year’s group!

So Trump is is making a 'deal' with Putin to reduce the impact of his own disastrous mistakes with Iran and the Strait of Hormuz, and thus further prolongs Russia's ability to wake war on Ukraine. Dumb, shortsighted, irresponsible. nytimes.com/2026/10/09/us/po…

Ich habe noch nie einen US-Präsidenten gesehen, der den Staatspräsidenten eines anderen Landes so respektlos behandelt. Donald Trump ist seines Amtes unwürdig – und unsere Welt in großer Gefahr. Wir erleben eine Zeitenwende in dunkle Zeiten.

Russian strikes killed over 80 Ukrainian civilians in two days. Moreover, it has stepped up its hybrid attacks against Europe, both EU Member States and NATO Allies. Suspending sanctions on Russian diesel provides Moscow with more revenues to wage war. This is not the time to ease pressure on Russia, and Europe won’t. On Monday, EU Foreign Ministers intend to approve the biggest set of sanctions listings targeting Russia’s war machine since the start of the war.

Moscow thinks it can keep its war going. We are making sure it pays the price for it. Today, we present our 19th sanctions package. Every sanction reduces the Kremlin’s ability to wage war. We won’t stop putting pressure on Russia until it ends its war.

Today's violation of Estonia's airspace by Russian military aircraft is an extremely dangerous provocation. This marks the third such violation of EU airspace in days and further escalates tensions in the region. The EU stands in full solidarity with Estonia (1/2)
