What is BRICS, really — a loose coalition of emerging economies, or a growing challenge to Western-led global governance? In this episode, we take a deep dive into the origins, goals, and internal dynamics of BRICS, the group that brings together Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa — and now a new wave of members. Why do such diverse countries come together under one banner? What does BRICS actually do, and how effective is it in turning ambition into action? We explore China's and Russia's strategic interests, the Global South's discontent with the current international system, and whether BRICS could offer a real alternative to institutions like the UN, G7, IMF, or World Bank. We also discuss recent developments — from the war in Ukraine to U.S. trade policy — and ask: Is BRICS moving toward a shared ideology? Can economic cooperation within the bloc grow? And how realistic is the idea of a BRICS currency — or the broader push toward de-dollarizing global trade? To unpack all this and more, we're joined by Ingrid D'Hooghe and Ksenia Radchenkova, offering insights on geopolitics, economics, and the shifting architecture of international power.Guests:Dr. Ingrid d'Hooghe is Senior Research Associate at the China Centre of the Clingendael Institute and Senior Research Fellow at the LeidenAsiaCentre, The Netherlands. Her areas of expertise include China's strategic thinking and policy making in areas such as international relations and diplomacy, global governance, and science and technology.D'Hooghe holds a Master's degree in Sinology from Leiden University, The Netherlands, and a PhD in political science from Antwerp University, Belgium. She started her career as a policy officer at the Dutch Embassy in Beijing in the period 1989 – 1991 and has since worked as a China researcher and lecturer at various universities and think tanks, and as an advisor to Dutch government organizations, the European Commission, and European research institutions. She also presents at top universities and think tanks around the globe, and at institutions such as the European External Action Service and NATO. She publishes in academic and popular journals and appears regularly in the media. Recent publications address European universities' S&T collaboration with China, and China's maritime activities in disputed areas in the South China Sea.Ksenia Radchenkova, BA. spec. M.Sc. Ph.D is a Post-Doctoral Researcher and Coordinator for Eastern European, Eurasian and Asian research and cooperation projects at the Section Global Governance at the Institute for the Foundations of Law of the University of Graz.

Radchenkova's current position entails the integration of her business experience with her academic background, with the objective of enhancing the international connections of the University of Graz. She is also committed to the promotion of excellence in research within the domain of international relations and politics.

In 2022, the Colombian Truth Commission published its 10.000-page thick report ‘Hay Futuro Si Hay Verdad'. It describes the immense impact the conflict had – and still has – on the victims of the civil war and society as a whole. Together with María Prada (former advisor to the Truth Commission's President), we discuss the different roles a Truth Commission has, such as dignity for those affected, non-repetition and evidence for justice. We also looked at the difficulties of upholding recommendations while priorities and levels of continuing violence constantly change.

If you had one more day to enjoy life, what would you wish for? Ambulance Wish, Ambulanz Wonsch, https://www.ambulanzwonsch.lu/about-us/, is going to be launched in Luxembourg 22 January 2022 at the Dutch Embassy. The idea of Ambulance Wish was created by the Dutch Ambulance Driver, Kees Veldboer. One day, with a bit of time to spare, Kees asked his bedridden patient Mario, who had been a seaman, if there was anything he'd like to do. "I'd love to see the harbour one more time". And so Kees took him there. "Would you like to sail again?" Kees asked Mario. Well of course, Mario replied, but I now need a stretcher. Kees made it happen. And so the idea of the Ambulance Wish was born, which grew into Stiching Ambulance Wens, https://www.ambulancewens.nl/en, in the Netherlands. It has now spread to 16 countries and is about to be launched in Luxembourg. Through this conversation with Karen van Hout, we learn that it's the smallest things in life which mean the most to us in the end. It seems that our roots and nature are intrinsic to our deepest wants and final wishes. "Adding life to days" was Kees Veldboer's mantra. Ambulanz Wonsch's mission is to give people who are in end-of-life care and bedridden, the resources, specialist transport and medical support they need to fulfil their final wishes. The service is entirely donor-funded and staffed by medically trained health care professionals who volunteer their time. They have their own, purpose-built ambulance, focussed on comfort, with a soft mattress, pillows and a duvet. It's equipped with shuttered windows so that the patient can look outside, enjoy the view, but cannot be seen. My Guest: Karen van Hout has a 17-year background in healthcare, volunteering and in professional roles. She is the owner of Of Wood and co-founder of the Systemic Neuroscience Consulting Group in Luxembourg. Through her work, she met Yvette, the person with whom the idea of Ambulanz Wonsch actually started.

Hello ladies and gentlemen and our audience listening to VietnamPlus' Podcast - the program is broadcast on Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast and Vietnam News Agency's VietnamPlus e-Newspaper. Ladies and gentlemen, gender-based violence, especially violence against women and girls, has been and is a persistent problem in many countries around the world, including Vietnam. The more the society develops, the more unpredictable forms of violence against women and girls become. It not only causes many serious consequences but also undermines traditional moral values. This is considered a major obstacle in eliminating gender inequality and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.From November 15 to December 15, the Ministry of Labour, Invalids and Social Affairs coordinated with United Nations agencies to launch the Action Month for Gender Equality. This year, the theme of the Action Month is "Ensuring social security, empowering and creating opportunities for women and girls to achieve gender equality and eliminate violence against women and girls." This theme once again affirms Vietnam's priorities and commitments in promoting substantive gender equality and highlights the need for men to participate in ending violence against women and girls.Today's Podcast, conducted by VietnamPlus e-Newspaper in collaboration with the Dutch Embassy in Vietnam, is also an activity to respond to this Action Month. Join us to discuss with our guests about the role of men in preventing and responding to violence against women and girls, as well as solutions to prevent this situation.

On January 10th, 1795, a very tired caravan arrives in Beijing. The travelers have journeyed from Canton on an accelerated schedule through harsh terrain in order to make it to the capital in time for the Qianlong Emperor's sixtieth anniversary of his reign. The group is led by two Dutchmen: Isaac Titsingh and Andreas Everardus van Braam Houckgeest, who are there to represent the interests of the Dutch Republic at the imperial court. It's a momentous occasion, especially after the disastrous British Embassy from George Macartney two years earlier. Little did they know that their embassy would be the last by Westerners in the traditional Chinese court. Their journey is the subject of Professor Tonio Andrade's The Last Embassy: The Dutch Mission of 1795 and the Forgotten History of Western Encounters with China (Princeton University Press, 2021), published earlier this year: a rich and readable volume that tells the story of an event long-neglected by history and historians. In this interview, Tonio and I talk about the Dutch Embassy, its protagonists and the nature of the imperial court. We discuss the perilous and rushed journey the ambassadors made to Beijing, and what their experience tells us about the nature of diplomacy. Tonio Andrade is professor of Chinese and global history at Emory University. His books include The Gunpowder Age: China, Military Innovation, and the Rise of the West in World History (Princeton University Press, 2017), Lost Colony: The Untold Story of China's First Great Victory over the West (Princeton University Press, 2011), and How Taiwan Became Chinese: Dutch, Spanish, and Han Colonization in the Seventeenth Century (Columbia University Press, 2007).

The travelers have journeyed from Canton on an accelerated schedule through harsh terrain in order to make it to the capital in time for the Qianlong Emperor's sixtieth anniversary of his reign. The group is led by two Dutchmen: Isaac Titsingh and Andreas Everardus van Braam Houckgeest, who are there to represent the interests of the Dutch Republic at the imperial court. It's a momentous occasion, especially after the disastrous British Embassy from George Macartney two years earlier. Little did they know that their embassy would be the last by Westerners in the traditional Chinese court. Their journey is the subject of Professor Tonio Andrade's The Last Embassy: The Dutch Mission of 1795 and the Forgotten History of Western Encounters with China (Princeton University Press, 2021), published earlier this year: a rich and readable volume that tells the story of an event long-neglected by history and historians. In this interview, Tonio and I talk about the Dutch Embassy, its protagonists and the nature of the imperial court. We discuss the perilous and rushed journey the ambassadors made to Beijing, and what their experience tells us about the nature of diplomacy. Tonio Andrade is professor of Chinese and global history at Emory University. His books include The Gunpowder Age: China, Military Innovation, and the Rise of the West in World History (Princeton University Press, 2017), Lost Colony: The Untold Story of China's First Great Victory over the West (Princeton University Press, 2011), and How Taiwan Became Chinese: Dutch, Spanish, and Han Colonization in the Seventeenth Century (Columbia University Press, 2007).

Good morning and you're listening to another episode of the Migration & Diaspora Podcast, with me your host, Loksan Harley from Homelands Advisory. I'm delighted to present to you today a lovely interview with a team member and diaspora participant of the Connecting Diaspora 4 Development (CD4D) programme, which is implemented by the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in the Netherlands. CD4D engages members of the Afghan, Iraqi, Nigerian and Somali diasporas to support the development of their countries of origin through the transfer of knowledge and expertise. We're very lucky to be joined by Nina Staal, the CD4D Programme Coordinator, and Zuhur Mohamed, who was a participant to the CD4D programme in her country of heritage, Somaliland, and now one of CD4D's ambassador. A bit about both our guests. Nina leads the IOM's Dutch office's migration and development team, including their work with local diasporas in the Netherlands. Prior to joining IOM in 2012, Nina also worked for VluchtelingenWerk Nederland and the Dutch Embassy in Eritrea. Zuhur considers it her mission to ensure equal opportunities for everybody, regardless of their origin. She and her mother came from Somaliland to the Netherlands when she was three years old. After internships in London and New York, she worked as a financial adviser at the Dutch bank ING. Three years later, Zuhur felt the need to give back to her country of origin and, after some searching, found IOM's CD4D programme. She started with automating financial systems at the Somaliland Ministry of Justice and soon applied her skills in other departments. During her last assignment she even co-wrote the national development plan. Really enjoyed getting to know how CD4D is run and what's in it for both its participants and the countries of origin that receive them. I especially enjoyed learning about Zuhur's wonderful journey of discovery of Somaliland through CD4D. Of course, we also touch on some more challenging issues, such as how CD4D identifies willing diaspora participants and receiving institutions, and why there is not a private sector solution to the issue that a programme like CD4D seeks to address. As always, I'd like to thank you very much for listening. Remember, you can listen to this podcast on Spotify, iTunes, Google Podcasts and most other worthy podcasting platforms, and our website homelandsadvisory.com/podcast has links to them all. Without further ado, please do enjoy the show.
