Bad versus good enough: Negativity bias and institutional choice - Birte Julia Gippert, Theresa Squatrito, 2025 Why do decision-makers choose to create new international institutions, even though an existing institution appears to be both suitable and good enough? This ar...

🇪🇺 9 May = #EuropeDay. But do you know why?

On 9 May 1950, 75 years ago, Robert Schuman proposed the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community – the first step towards today’s EU.

A bold vision of peace and unity that changed Europe forever.

Thanks Anjali!

This book illustrates these two mechanisms with four in-depth case studies of UN peacekeeping operations: UNTAC in Cambodia, MONUC/MONUSCO in the Democratic Republic of Congo, MINUSTAH in Haiti, and UNMIL in Liberia.
