The Post-Traumatic Sovereignty Trap
The essay uses the lens of "post-traumatic sovereignty" to explain how small democracies under existential threat, such as Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, shape their domestic politics and foreign policy.

These states tightly align with Western po…

They cannot offer a satisfactory challenge to populism…
