EI Weekly Listen — Lawrence James on the invention of jingoism engelsbergideas.com/podcast/ei-wee…
'The ‘how’ is the ‘craft’ in statecraft. It is the true source of practical leadership. Yet this dimension is not well understood, infrequently studied and rarely taught.' How to do statecraft | Philip Zelikow engelsbergideas.com/essays/how-to-…

'Arafat went through the names of those he'd met – de Gaulle, Khrushchev, Castro – while picking over a plate of broccoli that he ate with his fingers. When he started handing me morsels, I felt I had made it.' EI's @Angus_Reilly speaks to Norma Percy: engelsbergideas.com/essays/in-conv…
Very much enjoyed chatting Caravaggio on the latest episode of EI Talks... (Includes some critical commentary on literary 'bad boys' and a bizarre reference to Clement Attlee by yours truly.)

Fascinating article from @EngelsbergIdeas engelsbergideas.com/essays/how-to-… It captures - to a large extent - the problems of the world today
Always worth reading Phil Zelikow
The study of statecraft would profit by spending less time on ‘should’ and more time on ‘how’. How to do statecraft | Philip Zelikow engelsbergideas.com/essays/how-to-…
The portrait of a master through a single painting. Great conversation @_paullay @alastair_benn I enjoyed every minute. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/eng…
“Real strategy is not about what ‘should’ be done. It is about the ‘how’. Many people have to be organised, funded, trained and equipped to play their part in a coordinated choreography, people who sometimes must do very difficult things”

I reviewed Spanish master Victor Erice’s slow-burn memory thriller Close Your Eyes for @EngelsbergIdeas
Victor Erice’s lost time | @murielzagha engelsbergideas.com/reviews/victor…
In @EngelsbergIdeas, @_paullay on Henry Stubbe. In @NewYorker, @nathanheller on paying attention. In @parisreview, @JoyelleMcS on Alice Notley. In @adroitjournal, @heidiseaborn1 reviews three poetry collections inspired by the paintings of Agnes Martin. (1/2)
I wrote about it here. People who kill venerable trees court the fate of Erysichthon - autophagy - since wilful destruction of nature is itself a form of self-devouring. engelsbergideas.com/notebook/death…
My most boomer opinion maybe, but it was an amazing tree to see walking Hadrian’s Wall and it was just such a mean-spirited act of vandalism, nothing to be gained except upsetting people, so I hope those responsible are firmly punished. Time to reassert some norms.
Why we all need to re-discover our 'granitic' demeanour and a bit more practical virtue... :
The strange death of Scotland’s political virtues | @alastair_benn engelsbergideas.com/notebook/the-s…
I wrote on what's gone wrong with Scotland. My latest for @EngelsbergIdeas: engelsbergideas.com/notebook/the-s…
Kings, popes, and doges all found themselves gasping for air under a deluge of memorandums and correspondence. Philip II of Spain was frequently driven to despair by ‘these devils, my papers’, with upto 16,000 separate petitions sent to his desk over engelsbergideas.com/essays/an-earl…
Fascinating, moving, and asks questions of us all:
The Lutheran pastor's opposition to the Nazis symbolises the power, bravery – and rarity – of citizens who resist dictatorship. Martin Niemöller’s stand against Hitler | @elisabethbraw engelsbergideas.com/notebook/marti…
Interesting read...
Henry Stubbe, early modern champion of ‘Mahometan Christianity’ | @_paullay engelsbergideas.com/portraits/henr…
This is fascinating on Henry Stubbe, who presented Islam as a sort of pattern for pared-down unitarianism. There were also a handful of English Puritans who converted to Judaism and moved to Amsterdam, of course
