It's out today! Our @tenaprelec @TomMayne16 @OUPAcademic book, Indulging Kleptocracy. Foreword by @OliverBullough. The UK’s indulgence of kleptocratic elites from Russia and Eurasia is an acute example of the phenomenon of professional enabling. https://t.co/wqfIu3j9T2

How is a book published in 2025 one of the @ForeignAffairs best books of 2024? That must be why "Indulging Kleptocracy" by @TomMayne16 @tenaprelec and me has sold fewer than those by @RoryStewartUK and @anneapplebaum 🤥 But I'm not complaining! https://t.co/ZuLqi5YoCz

Read @cjcmichel. For foreign kleptocrats, Trump is like looking in the mirror. By making deals with the family, giving awards, making donations they get access. Family and business relations shape relations between states. Not enduring alliances but transactional geopolitics.
The U.S. has never seen a presidential candidate with as many financial links with foreign autocrats as Trump—and with more despots who've continued cozying up to him even after he left the White House. My latest for @NYMag:

👋Congratulations @exeterpolitics graduates 2024. They include Kerimguly Berdimukhamedov, son of the President of Turkmenistan. He didn't study with me and I never met him. But he would have been an interesting addition to my Central Asian Politics class! https://t.co/2W9O30nKfy

Proof reading @tenaprelec @TomMayne16 @OUPAcademic book Indulging Kleptocracy, there are some great epigraphs including this one from Boris Johnson which captures the irresponsibility and lack of vision of 🇬🇧 political leaders of recent decades.

Everybody forgot about Gulnara Karimova, but @johnnywharris @KLasslett @TomMayne16 @antelava have reminded us that she's still alive and that corruption is not only about authoritarian regimes (the problem is bigger). https://t.co/VjcKu7xFHZ
