Esta semana, desde La Paella Rusa especial arroz con letras, os proponemos una lecturita sencillita para las tardes estivales. En concreto, hablamos de Liberalism at large. The world according to The Economist, de Alexander Zevin (Ed. Verso). Un libro que aborda “el desarrollo del liberalismo moderno al estudiar la larga historia del periódico The Economist, que, desde 1843, ha sido el más incansable - e internacionalmente influyente - defensor de la causa liberal en cualquier parte del mundo. Liberalism at large examina una ideología política en movimiento a medida que enfrenta los desafíos que la doctrina clásica dejó sin resolver: el surgimiento de la democracia, la expansión del imperio, el predominio de las altas finanzas. El contacto con fuerzas tan trascendentales no iba a dejar indemnes a los defensores de los valores liberales. Zevin refleja la política - y las personalidades - de los editores de The Economist pasados y presentes, desde los banqueros-ensayistas victorianos James Wilson y Walter Bagehot hasta las eminencias de la actualidad Bill Emmott y Zanny Minton Beddoes. Hoy en día, ni la crisis económica interna ni la guerra permanente en el extranjero han disminuido la creencia de The Economist en los mercados sin restricciones y en un gobierno limitado. Confidente de los poderosos, emisario del sector financiero, portal hacia los asuntos internacionales, esta revista da forma al mundo en el que viven sus lectores (y todos los demás). Esta es la primera biografía crítica de uno de los arquitectos de un orden mundial liberal que ahora está bajo una creciente presión”.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Efectivamente, tras unos días de intensa reflexión y pícnics románticos por los jardines de Moncloa, Pedro Sánchez apareció en nuestras pantallas el pasado lunes 29 de abril para decir que se queda. Que quiere seguir al frente de nuestras vidas y nuestros corazones. Porque el Perro es un hombre profundamente enamorado de su mujer, pero también de todos y cada uno de los españoles. Así que, en este episodio de La Paella Rusa abordamos el penúltimo giro de guion del cánido socialista y las reacciones que su anuncio de no dimitir ha causado en el resto de fuerzas políticas (ya sean socios de gobierno o adversarios)... y en las mediáticas. También guardamos un emotivo abrazo a estos expertos analistas que apostaban con vehemencia por una dimisión asegurada al 100%. Pobrecicos. ¡Ah, y elucubramos sobre cómo le sentaría al rey Felipe VI que este señor le hiciese madrugar un lunes para nada! ¿Y qué opinará Letizia de todo esto?Y seguimos con más Perro, pues en este capítulo de La Paella Rusa, también nos planteamos qué efectos puede tener este golpe de efecto en el futuro del líder del PSOE y en el del propio partido o cómo puede afectar a los próximos comicios catalanes y europeos, que tendrán lugar, respectivamente, a mitad de mayo e inicios de junio. Y, por supuesto, nos hacemos la gran pregunta: ¿realmente esta persona canina se pasí casi una semana dándole vueltas a la idea de dejar el poder o solo quería sentir que España le quería mucho, mucho, mucho y muy fuerte?Y en nuestra recomendación cultural, desde La Paella Rusa os proponemos una lecturita sencillita para las tardes primaverales. En concreto, esta semana hablamos de Liberalism at large. The world according to The Economist, de Alexander Zevin (Ed. Verso).

The Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni will play a prominent international role in 2023. She will attend a summit of G7 leaders in Japan and Joe Biden may well invite her to Washington to try to shore up the Transatlantic alliance. Meanwhile, Italy's relationship with China is in flux. A few years ago, there was much talk of 'win-win' relationships. However, Ms Meloni displays a nationalist streak, which doesn't bode well for collaboration with the Chinese. In this podcast, the writer and journalist Bill Emmott shares his interpretation of the political factors which influence Italian foreign policy. The podcast is hosted by Duncan Bartlett, Editor of Asian Affairs magazine.
In the view of Japan's Prime Minister, Fumio Kishida, East Asia could be the next Ukraine. He has warned that "the situation around Japan is becoming increasingly severe with attempts to unilaterally change the status quo by force." Mr Kishida has two countries in mind: North Korea and Japan's long-term regional rival, China. The fear is that a war could break out, drawing Japan into the crisis. In this episode, Bill Emmott, Chair of the Japan Society of the UK discusses Japan's dilemmas with Duncan Bartlett, Editor of Asian Affairs magazine and a former Tokyo correspondent for the BBC.

“La Guerra fredda non ci lascerà più”, un articolo di Bill Emmott su La Stampa. Sappiamo tutti di vivere in un periodo storico temibile, il più pericoloso della maggior parte delle nostre esistenze di europei occidentali. Stiamo vivendo non soltanto una guerra, ma ben tre: una guerra armata vera e propria tra gli invasori russi e l'Ucraina; una guerra per procura tra l'Occidente e la Russia che, a differenza di conflitti simili durante la Guerra fredda, si sta combattendo proprio alla frontiera tra Russia e Nato; e infine una nuova Guerra fredda, iniziata quando, lo scorso fine settimana, sono entrate in vigore nuove draconiane sanzioni.[…] ____________________________________ Ascolta “Punti di Vista” - Editoriali dei principali quotidiani nazionali a confronto, a cura di Lapo De Carlo. “Punti di Vista” offre una panoramica delle prospettive delle testate italiane più influenti, soffermandosi sulle parole e sulle riflessioni che emergono dagli editoriali nazionali sui fatti di attualità e sulle notizie della settimana.

China's increasing influence has profoundly changed the power dynamic in Asia. For decades, its economic growth has outstripped that of Japan and under Xi Jinping, there's also clear ambition to build the People's Liberation Army into a world class military. That army, through its coastguard division, constantly irks Japan by sailing vessels into the waters near the Senkaku, or Diaoyu islands, which Japan insists are its sovereign territory. Thus Japan has grown increasingly wary of China both as an economic rival and as a threat to its national security. Bill Emmott, chairman of the International Institute for Strategic Studies - a think tank based in London which provides insight into matters relating to security and political risk, discusses the situation with Duncan Bartlett, Research Associate at the SOAS China Institute.

Chinese athletes brought glory to their country at the Tokyo Olympics through shooting, diving, weight lifting and table tennis. China hopes the Winter Olympics in Beijing will further boost the nation's international reputation by creating a harmonious atmosphere among skiers and snowboarders. However, the delegations of many countries face a dilemma. Are they obliged to take a stance on China's human rights record? Or should they endeavour to separate politics from sport? In this podcast, renowned author Bill Emmott, chair of the Japan Society of the UK, discusses the response of the Japanese delegation with podcast host, Duncan Bartlett, the Editor of Asian Affairs magazine.

In episode one of Japan Memo, co-hosts Robert Ward and Yuka Koshino are joined by the Chairman of the IISS Trustees, Bill Emmott. Bill is a writer, consultant, long-time Japan watcher and Chairman of the Japan Society of the United Kingdom. From 1993−2006, he was editor-in-chief of The Economist. To launch this new IISS podcast series, Robert, Yuka and Bill discuss the key developments in Japan over the past decades.

Su Repubblica, Paolo Galimberti analizza la correlazione tra vaccini e potere: "I vaccini sono il nuovo strumento del soft power, il potere di influenzare i cuori e le menti dei popoli e, di conseguenza, allargare la rete delle alleanze politiche con i governi. Il caso dell'Adienne di Monza, che dovrebbe produrre a luglio 10 milioni di dosi del russo Sputnik, con tutti i suoi contorni di mistero e di millantato credito, è soltanto l'ultimo esempio di come si sta sviluppando nel mondo questa spregiudicata "diplomazia del vaccino", nella quale Russia e Cina sono i grandi protagonisti. [...]".Carla Reschia ha tradotto per La Stampa, un articolo di Bill Emmott sul caso della Royal Family: "Se siete rimasti molto colpiti dall'intervista rilasciata dal principe britannico Harry e dalla sua moglie americana Meghan Markle a Oprah Winfrey sulla Cbs, dovreste ricordare quello che ha scritto Leo Tolstoy nel suo grande romanzo “Anna Karenina”: «Tutte le famiglie felici si assomigliano; ogni famiglia infelice lo è a modo suo».

Bill Emmott, former editor-in-chief of The Economist and now co-director of the Global Commission for Post-Pandemic Policy, talks to Alex Tabarrok, Professor of Economics at George Mason University and co-author of the blog Marginal Revolution, on lessons learned from the pandemic so far, and what lies ahead.
Tuesday, 1 December 2020, 7 – 8pm A panel discussion to mark the launch of Journalist Bill Emmott's latest book Japan's Far More Female Future - Increasing Gender Equality and Reducing Workplace Insecurity Will Make Japan Stronger (2020). In addition to a presentation by Bill Emmott, guest speakers include: A recorded video conversation between Bill and Ambassador Mari Miyoshi, Japanese Ambassador to Dublin 2015-18, who features in the book as being the most senior woman in the Japanese diplomatic service; two panelists, Helen Macnaughtan, Senior Lecturer in International Business and Management, SOAS University of London and Akiko Sato, market advisor at Enterprise Ireland. The evening will be chaired by Prof Eve Patten, Director of the Trinity Long Room Hub. About Japan's Far More Female Future Japan's socio-economic postwar history has been largely male dominated, and still women occupy a much smaller share of leadership positions than in other rich countries. However this reflects a wide gender inequality in tertiary education in the generations now holding or entering leadership positions. Beginning in the 1990s, female access to higher education converged dramatically with that of males, reflecting changing family and social attitudes, which promises to help Japan converge with European experience during the 2020s and 2030s. Through analysis of such trends and policy options, combined with interviews with 21 female role models from business to the arts, Bill Emmott takes an optimistic look at how Japan can achieve greater social justice and sustainable prosperity for the future, helping it to adapt to an ageing and declining population.
Japan's economy suffered its worst quarterly performance ever. Its GDP shrank nearly 28 percent between April and June, compared to the same period last year. Analysts expect thousands of job losses in coming months, as COVID-19 lockdowns and a slowdown in international trade hurt businesses. Mobin Nasir reports on the impact of the pandemic on the world's third largest economy. For more on this, Bill Emmott joined us from Dublin. He's chairman of the Japan Society of the UK. #Japan #GDP #Pandemic
The coronavirus pandemic has forced Japan into recession. It's reported a second consecutive quarter of contraction for the first three months of 2020. But as Sibel Karkus reports, the figures don't include a state of emergency imposed last month, which has brought much of the economy to a standstill. And that means the worst is yet to come. For more on this, we spoke to Bill Emmott in Dublin. He's the Chairman of the Japan Society of the UK and former editor-in-chief of The Economist. #Coronavirus #Japan #Recession
Bill Emmott, Chairman of the IISS Trustees, joins Dr Kori Schake for this episode of Sounds Strategic.From President Trump's questioning of traditional US allies and commitments, to growing Russian and Chinese influence in international and regional affairs, 2019 has seen a further erosion of the liberal world order established after the Second World War. In this end-of-year special, Bill Emmott and Kori Schake discuss the challenges the liberal rules-based order has faced over the course of 2019, both from within and without. Bill argues that middle powers such as Japan, France and South Korea may have to adapt to an emerging ‘G2' world where US–China competition determines relations between states. Kori and Bill also discuss the differences between the regimes of Vladimir Putin's Russia and Xi Jinping's China, South Korean and Japanese politics, as well as the need for reinvigorated German leadership in the EU.Date of recording: 9 December 2019Sounds Strategic is recorded and produced at the IISS in London.Theme music: ‘Safety in Numbers' by We Were Promised Jetpacks.

More than three years after the United Kingdom voted by a razor-thin margin to leave the European Union, the same question remains: How? Now, with a deadline to exit looming at the end of October, can the UK’s new prime minister, leading “Leave” campaigner Boris Johnson, deliver Brexit?

The rising appeal of populist political movements around the world and authoritarian approaches to government is a startling wake-up call for the political status quo. Our panellists will look at what we mean by crisis and how we can understand its roots, from economic stagnation to historical political divisions. This panel will explore the fallout from Brexit; the significance of the rise of the right across Europe and populist movements which could further destabilize the EU region.

The West has long been a font of stability, prosperity, and security. Yet when faced with global instability and economic uncertainty, it is tempting for states to react by closing borders, hoarding wealth, and solidifying power. In a compelling new book, The Fate of the West: The Battle to Save the World's Most Successful Political Idea, former Economist editor Bill Emmott argues for a return to the core values of openness and equality of opportunity that are increasingly eroded in today's global political climate. Emmott joins Ashley J. Tellis, the Tata Chair in Strategic Affairs at Carnegie, and Tom Carver to discuss the challenges facing Western states and potential strategies for the revitalization of liberal democracy. Ashley Tellis served as senior adviser to the ambassador at the U.S. Embassy in New Delhi. He also served on the U.S. National Security Council staff as special assistant to President George W. Bush and senior director for strategic planning and Southwest Asia. He is the author of India's Emerging Nuclear Posture (RAND, 2001) and co-author of Interpreting China's Grand Strategy: Past, Present, and Future (RAND, 2000). Tellis holds the Tata Chair for Strategic Affairs. (More on Tellis - carnegieendowment.org/experts/198) Bill Emmott is an independent writer, lecturer, and consultant on international affairs, and former editor-in-chief of the Economist. He is also chairman of The Wake Up Foundation. (More on Emmott - billemmott.com)
This event was recorded live at The RSA on Thursday 4th May 2017 The traditional liberal democracies of the West are in decline, and divisive populist sentiment is on the rise. When faced with global instability and economic uncertainty, it is tempting for states to react by closing borders, hoarding wealth and solidifying power, and for citizens to look upon one another with suspicion, incomprehension and mistrust. Former Economist editor-in-chief Bill Emmott explains that we have seen this phenomenon at various times in Japan, France and Italy and now it is infecting all of Europe and America - as vividly demonstrated by the vote for Brexit in the UK and Trump in the US. Investigative journalist Joris Luyendijk argues this environment provides the ideal conditions for populist anti-politicians to thrive. Trump, Johnson, Farage, Beppe Grillo and their ilk are cresting the waves of popularity, whilst their mainstream opponents (whose incompetence, corruption and dismissal of their constituents brought us this mess) watch on. FT US columnist and commentator Edward Luce argues that we are on a menacing trajectory brought about by ignorance of what it took to build the West, arrogance towards society's losers, and complacency about our system's durability - attitudes that have been emerging since the fall of the Berlin Wall, treated by the West as an absolute triumph over the East.

Bill Emmott, ex-editor of the Economist and international newspaper columnist delivers a Reuters Institute Business and Practice of Journalism seminar.
Conventional wisdom tells us that a new star will rise in the East, and all eyes have been looking towards China or India as the 21st century’s new superpower. But remarkable as their recent economic growth may have been, the institutional frailty of both nations raises questions about long-term sustainability. Meanwhile the economies of South America have also been transforming themselves quietly and less flashily, unburdened by the dead weight of caste politics or communism. And it’s not just Brazil that catches the eye: at 9.8 percent Peru's growth rate last year was one of the world’s fastest. So perhaps we should all do an about-turn.

Bill Emmott's lecture was presented on September 27, 2006. From 1993 until March 2006, Bill Emmott was the editor of The Economist, the world's leading weekly magazine on current affairs and business. During his tenure at The Economist, the magazine's circulation more than doubled to over 1.1 million. He joined The Economist's Brussels office in 1980, writing about European Economic Community affairs and the Benelux countries. In 1982 he became the magazine's economics correspondent in London and the following year moved to Tokyo to cover Japan and South Korea. In 1986, he returned to London as the finance and economics editor and in 1989, became business affairs editor, responsible for all the magazine's coverage of business, finance, and science. Emmott was appointed editor of The Economist in March 1993. He has written four books on Japan: The Sun Also Sets: The Limits to Japan's Economic power, Japan's Global Reach: The Influence, Strategies and Weaknesses of Japan's Multinational Corporations, Kanryo no Taizai (The Bureaucrats' Deadly Sins), and, most recently, The Sun Also Rises.
