On June 8, the article “Can the Public Sector Break the Mold? Exploring Antecedent Factors Driving Sensing Capabilities With fsQCA in the Tuscan Family and Community Nurse Model” was published in Public Policy and Administration (co-authored with Alessia Caputo, Lorenzo Taddeucci, and Milena Vainieri of the Sant’Anna School of Advanced Studies). In the article, we apply fuzzy-set QCA to explore conditions for developing organizational adaptability, using data from 26 Tuscan health districts.

Lecture at University of Innsbruck
On June 2, I was invited to give a lecture on “Pacifism, Isolationism or Anti-Americanism? Explaining Public Opposition to Supporting Ukraine against Russia’s War of Aggression” (based on a paper co-authored with Wolfgang Wagner) at the Foreign Policy Lab of the Department of Political Science at the University of Innsbruck. The paper presents first results from a survey that was conducted under the NEST project (“Navigating the Storm: European Political Contestation in Geopolitical Transformation”), where I am involved as Co-PI, together with my VU colleagues Chendi Wang (PI), Ben Crum, and Wolfgang Wagner. Thanks for the kind invitation and organization of the event to Martin Senn, Anna Saischek, and Katja Astner, and thanks to all participants for their helpful comments and questions!

Methods Masterclass at Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office
On April 2, I was invited to give an online methods masterclass for the members of the Evaluation and Statistics cadres of the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office of the United Kingdom, speaking about “Qualitative Comparative Analysis (QCA) for Foreign Policy Analysis”. The talk comprised a concise introduction to the method and approach of QCA, based on my 2021 book with Georgetown University Press. For the second part, the FCDO members asked me to speak about my applied QCA study on the Unintended Consequences of UN Sanctions, an open-access article that was co-authored with Katharina Meissner (replication data for this article is available here: https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/9BGOYQ). Many thanks to Harry Achillini for the invitation and organization–and to all participants for the intriguing questions during the Q&A!
