We had a fruitful discussion today on the next steps for our network of trust researchers within (or with an interest in) the discipline of International Relations. Watch this space! If you are doing research on trust (or related concepts we would love to connect with you.

A few of our network will be at #ISA2025 in Chicago this coming week. If you are interested in trust research in international relations, why not pop along to one of these panels where some of our friends and colleagues will be presenting their research.

There is a great ISA event coming up! Eszter Simon and David J. Wilcox will be co-hosting alongside a stellar line-up of speakers: Andrew Kydd, Deborah Larson, Nicholas Wheeler , Vincent Keating . Register here: tinyurl.com/2dr5n9by

We had an excellent presentation from, and discussion with, Nicholas Wheeler and Chiara Cervasio on their fantastic work with Mark Saunders, where they are developing a model to capture the process from distrust to trust and applying it to the 1998-1999 Lahore Peace Process.
