Exploring the boundaries, fringes, and inner workings of civil society, Taru Salmenkari investigates local forms of political agency in China in light of the globalization of political values, practices, and institutions in Global Ideas, Local Adaptations: Chinese Activism and the Will to Make Civil Society (Edward Elgar, 2025). She provides a theoretical framework for globalization, examining new forms of governance emerging with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and how these have reconfigured social power in China.This topical book outlines how civil society has been promoted globally since the 1980s, as NGOs advance development cooperation, democratization, and neoliberal third-sector service production. Salmenkari studies the outcomes of these processes in China, where civil society promotion met strong localizing forces rising from NGO activists'' own values, governmental regulation, and local society. Evaluating various forms of Chinese self-organizing, she discusses the social omissions of Chinese environmental NGO agendas, Confucian ties in global translations, gay self-organizing, and the idea and practice of Minjian. The book identifies complexities within Chinese civil society and how it navigates academia, global partnerships, social exclusions and alternative values, analyzing how these conflicting positions influence Chinese politics and society.

Nearly 9 out of 10 people worldwide want their governments to do more on climate. So why does it feel like progress is so slow? And what happens when countries start bending the rules?This week on Inside COP, Tom Rivett-Carnac, Christiana Figueres, Paul Dickinson and Fiona McRaith react to the shock postponement of the IMO's net-zero shipping deal, derailed by US pressure. What does this setback reveal about power, diplomacy, and the fragile state of cooperation.Meanwhile, the COP Presidency is turning a national idea into a global invitation: the Mutirão - a uniquely Brazilian, Indigenous-rooted concept of coming together to get things done for the common good.Christiana and Paul speak with André Guimarães, the COP Special Envoy for Civil Society, who unpacks the deeper meaning of the Global Mutirão and how it could unite citizens, communities and governments behind climate action that feels both personal and collective. And to bring that spirit alive, Laura Moraes of Earth FC joins to share how the world's most-loved sport is joining Team Earth - using football's passion and global reach to rally millions around climate action.From grief to agency, from stadiums to summits, from Outrage to Optimism, this episode asks: what does it take to feel part of something bigger? And how can each of us play our part in the world's greatest team effort yet?Learn more:

Who teaches AI how to see and recognise? Definitely not a techie in a cool office in Silicon Valley. Most likely, it is a homemaker from a marginalised community in rural India who does this tedious work for very low pay. In his debut feature film "Humans in the Loop," director Aranya Sahay explores this vital detail that got left out of the "AI Revolution" marketing materials. The film follows Nehma, an Adivasi woman from Jharkhand who takes a job labelling data for AI systems. Turns out, teaching machines to recognise the world is a lot like raising a kid; except this kid absorbs prejudices from centuries of Western datasets, with no plan to augment it with context-specific knowledge. Esp. not from the labellers :-). The film has won major accolades, including Best Film at the Bengaluru International Film Festival and Grand Jury Prize for Best Feature at the Indian Film Festival of Los Angeles.

Freedom Under Law, Defend our Democracy and the Council for the Advancement of the South African Constitution say Malema's recent conviction on gun charges, makes him unfit to hold a position that selects judges to be placed on the bench. The organisations say the recent removal of impeached former judge, John Hlophe from the JSC, further affirms the requirement that members of the JSC be fit and proper.

In mid-September, while many China watchers were focused on the Xiangshan Forum, the Chinese military's annual high-level security and defense convening in Beijing, another major annual meeting was being held by the Ministry of Public Security in the Chinese city of Lianyungang (2-2-3). The Lianyungang Forum dates to 2015 but was upgraded and renamed the Global Public Security Cooperation Forum in 2022 following Xi Jinping's launch of the Global Security Initiative. This year it was attended by 2,000 participants from 120 countries, regions and international organizations. The theme was “Shaping Global Public Security Together: United Action to Tackle Diverse Threats.”  As Minister of Public Security Wang Xiaohong made clear in his opening speech, China is advancing an alternative to the western-led security order. Dr. Sheena Chestnut Greitens is a leading expert on Beijing's push to reshape the global security order and promote China as a model and global security provider to developing countries. Sheena is an associate professor at the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas at Austin where she directs UT's Asia Policy Program and serves as editor-in-chief of the Texas National Security Review. She is also a nonresident scholar at the Carnegie Endowment of International Peace, and a visiting associate professor of research in Indo-Pacific security at the China Landpower Studies Center of the U.S. Army War College's Strategic Studies Institute.

Ray White speaks to GroundUp journalist Marecia Damons about some of South Africa’s most pressing and painful realities — from deadly inner-city buildings to a crucial fight over sex work laws and looming changes to the SASSA system. Two years after the Usindiso Building fire in Johannesburg claimed 77 lives, residents are still living in so-called ‘dark buildings’ — unsafe, unhygienic spaces with no meaningful improvements and a fire commission report still under wraps. On another front, a groundbreaking legal battle to decriminalise adult sex work is gaining traction as dozens of organisations join the case. And in an important welfare update, Postbank has secured a 15-month extension to phase out the old SASSA Gold Cards, ensuring uninterrupted grants for around 450,000 recipients. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this episode, I tackle the history of education from prehistoric hunter-gatherer days all the way to today. We'll look at the many motives that have shaped the education and formal schooling of children from the agricultural revolution, through ancient times, to the protestant reformation and the industrial revolution. Through it all, motives have been... questionable. We educated children because we needed them to work the land. We educated them because we needed to train them as future politicians and soldiers. We needed them to be scribes. We needed them to be able to read the Bible. We needed them to be factory workers. But what about the children? What about what's best for them?

Yael Potjer spreekt met Andreas Kinneging, hoogleraar rechtsfilosofie aan de Universiteit Leiden. Ze bespreken het belang van Javier Milei, de toenemende macht van de EU en vooral de vraag: wat is er nodig voor een heropleving van Europa?Heeft onze stem nog impact nu zoveel beslissingen in Brussel en via verdragen buiten het bereik van de democratie lijken te liggen? Volgens Kinneging is de soevereiniteit van Nederland nog niet volledig verloren. Hij benadrukt het belang van het vetorecht én de mogelijkheid om uit verdragen te stappen. Hij legt uit waarom hij de machtsgreep van de EU een langzame coup d'état noemt.Andreas is kritisch over de kwaliteit van politici en wijst de mindset van de maakbare samenleving aan als diepere oorzaak van overregulering en stagnatie. Volgens hem zal dit steeds meer ten koste gaan van onze vrijheden. Hij pleit voor een samenleving die zélf meer regelt, met een overheid die zich terugtrekt en zich beperkt tot haar kerntaken. Gaat Javier Milei ons redden? Kinneging reflecteert op de spanning tussen vrijheid en gelijkheid. Volgens hem geldt: wie werkelijk vrij wil zijn, moet ook ongelijkheid accepteren. Vrijheid kan echter alleen werken als iedereen zijn verantwoordelijkheid neemt. In het gesprek deelt hij zes principes die aan de basis kunnen liggen van een heropleving van Europa.Tot slot deelt Kinneging zijn visie op de Nederlandse verkiezingen. Zijn VVD en CDA nog wel echt rechts te noemen? Hij waarschuwt voor een rampscenario wanneer we vasthouden aan de koers van groeiend staatdirigisme: een toekomst waarin burgers veranderen in horigen van de staat, een zachte vorm van slavernij.Pascal Institute: https://pascalinstitute.com/nl/European Renewal: https://european-renewal.org/about-us...Andreas Kinneging op X: https://x.com/AndreasKinnegi1Yael Potjer op X: https://x.com/GoedWeerGenieteOverweegt u om goud en zilver aan te kopen?

Athol Trollip, Member of the National Assembly and ActionSA leader, joins the conversation amid growing concern that the upcoming National Dialogue is unravelling before it begins. The Democratic Alliance has dismissed the event as a costly “talk shop” and called for its cancellation. Prominent civil society organisations, including the Steve Biko Foundation and the Thabo Mbeki Foundation, have withdrawn, citing a lack of credibility and meaningful engagement. Trollip reveals that ActionSA is also reconsidering its involvement, arguing that South Africans are desperate for tangible action on the economy and jobs—not more political theatre. With growing scepticism from both political and civil society actors, we explore whether the National Dialogue still serves the public interest or has become a stage-managed exercise in optics. 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In this SEE YOU NOW Insight from Episode 96: Addressing Moral Distress Across the Healthcare Workforce, Nurse Executive Consultant and former UC Health CNE Kathy Howell, MBA, BSN, RN, NEA-BC, takes us beyond the headlines of nursing shortages and toward the deeper causes of workforce distress: unsafe workplaces, moral injury, and a fractured social contract with the nursing profession.  Howell reminds us that the relationship between nurses and society is not merely transactional; it's a covenant, rooted in profound moral commitment, trust, and service. When this sacred trust is broken, it leaves nurses vulnerable not just physically, but emotionally and ethically. Howell shares how preventing workplace violence, ensuring 24/7 mental health support, and building peer accountability are critical steps toward restoring safety, support, and a sense of shared responsibility in healthcare environments.  To listen to this Insight clip's full episode, visit SEE YOU NOW Podcast Episode 96: Addressing Moral Distress Across the Healthcare Workforce at APPLE, SPOTIFY, or YOUTUBE, or at your favorite streaming platform.

In this episode of "What Is the Right," we're turning our attention to the religious dimension at play on the American Right. From the often-talked-about, rarely-understood Evangelical voting bloc to observant Jews and everything in between, it's a confusing landscape. Religious groups add a layer of complexity to the freedom-vs.-order tension we've been exploring in this series as we think about what it means to be conservative or liberal theologically in addition to politically. Indeed, our guests in this first episode are hesitant to apply today's political labels to their own tradition. Joining Peter to explain Catholicism in the public square and in conversation with political conservatism are Kathryn Jean Lopez and Kris Mauren. Kathryn is a Senior Fellow at the National Review Institute, where she directs the Center for Religion, Culture, and Civil Society. She is also the Religion Editor for National Review magazine and a Fellow at the Catholic University of America's Institute for Human Ecology. Kris is President and co-Founder of the Acton Institute, a think tank based on Grand Rapids, MI. Acton works to promote a freer and more virtuous society with research and resources that highlight the benefits and ethical foundations of free markets.

In this episode of the Nonprofit Newsfeed, hosts George and Nick explore the intricacies of recent mass mobilizations and the challenges facing nonprofits.  The podcast focuses on the recent "No Kings" protests, a massive mobilization across all 50 states with participation from an estimated 5 to 7 million people. Nick shares his firsthand experience at the New York protest, emphasizing the diverse and passionate turnout despite the rain. The event's success hinged on strategic digital organizing through platforms like Mobilize Us and support from major organizations such as the ACLU and Indivisible. A key takeaway is the power of peaceful protest and the impressive organization behind such large-scale events, including a comprehensive 17-page guide for rally hosts. The discussion transitions to the broader theme of attacks on civil society, both domestically and globally. An article from Lawfare highlights how authoritarian regimes worldwide, including those in Nicaragua, Turkey, Hungary, and Russia, are suppressing civil society under the guise of national security. This pattern is mirrored in the U.S., where political rhetoric is increasingly used to justify crackdowns on nonprofits and civil liberties.
