Chinese EV companies are gaining a foothold in European markets to sell EVs and to supply European EV manufacturers with locally manufactured EV batteries. The Central and Eastern European region – host to most of the Chinese EV and EV battery projects in Europe – exemplifies the emerging role of China, and presents an exceptional case study for how Chinese firms, technologies, and supply chains helps and hinders Europe's green transition. By focusing on cases of Chinese EV battery investments in CEE, this podcast episode explores the multi-layered impacts of these investments and offers a nuanced understanding of the intricate dynamics shaping contemporary transitions to electromobility. In this podcast, hosted by John Seaman, a Research Fellow at the French Institute of International Relations (Ifri), Dr. Ágnes Szunomár shares her recent research findings on the dynamics of Chinese EV projects in Europe. Dr. Ágnes Szunomár is an associate professor at Corvinus University of Budapest. In addition, she serves as the head of the Research Group on Development Economics at the Institute of World Economics, Centre for Economic and Regional Studies, Hungary.

Last week, French opposition leader in the national parliament, Marine le Pen, was found guilty of helping to embezzle €4m of EU funds for use by her party. Alongside a four year sentence, le pen was also barred from running from public office with immediate effect. Over the weekend, le Pen called the ruling political and not judicial. So what effect will the sentence have on the far right in France and across Europe? Political Analyst and Associate Research Fellow at IRIS, The French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs Jean-Yves Camus joins us to discuss.

Episode Summary:John Dominic Crossan is the world's most prominent Jesus scholar. He joins me today on Holy Heretics to discuss what we can, and what we cannot, know about the life of this first century Jewish peasant. Unlike traditional theological portrayals of Jesus, which center primarily on his death and resurrection, Crossan's scholarship focuses on the historicity of Jesus. Who was he? What evidence do we have to support his existence? Instead of asking why Jesus died, Crossan has spent decades unearthing the reasons Jesus lived.For Crossan, Jesus was a radical social revolutionary who confronted Roman oppression and attempted to live into an alternative version of reality. His portrayal challenges conventional Christian perspectives that see Jesus primarily as a divine figure who came to die for our sins.In books like The Historical Jesus: The Life of a Mediterranean Jewish Peasant (1991), Crossan presents Jesus as a figure who opposed both Roman imperial rule and the hierarchical structures of Jewish society. He describes Jesus' movement as one of radical inclusivity and nonviolent resistance. Crossan's work has been controversial, particularly among conservative Christians, because he downplays the supernatural aspects of Jesus' life, including the literal resurrection. Instead, he sees the resurrection as a symbolic event representing the triumph of Jesus' teachings.I'm delighted to share our conversation with you! If you are interested in learning more about the historical Jesus, this episode is a fantastic introduction. By challenging conventional wisdom and introducing his rigorous historical methods, Dom Crossan invites listeners to meet Jesus again for the first time.BIO:John Dominic Crossan is an Irish-born American theologian and former Roman Catholic priest best known for his association with the Jesus Seminar. Upon graduating from high school in Letterkenny, Ireland, in 1950, Crossan moved to Chicago, where he joined the Servites, a Roman Catholic monastic order. Ordained a priest in 1957, he returned to Ireland to study at St. Patrick's College, Maynooth, and received a doctorate in theology in 1959. He then studied at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome for two years before returning to his Servite community to teach.In 1965 he began study at the École Biblique et Archaéologie Française de Jérusalem (French Institute of Bible and Archaeology, Jerusalem). Two years later he returned to Chicago to join the faculty of the Chicago Catholic Theological Union. In 1969 he resigned from the Servite priesthood, citing a longing for academic freedom and his intention to marry. He soon joined the faculty of religious studies at Chicago's DePaul University, where he taught until his retirement in 1995.Crossan continues to write and lecture today. His most insightful books include The Last Week: What the Gospels Really Teach About Jesus' Final Days in Jerusalem, The First Paul, God and Empire, andJesus: A Revolutionary Biography.Please follow us on social media (use the buttons below) and help us get the word out!

Egyptian experimentalist and Kafr El Dawar Records co-founder YUNIS is set to premiere ‘The Partridge Bird', an evocative track from his latest project, ‘Opera for 1000 Crows' (*الحجلة). This exclusive release offers an early glimpse into the sonic landscape of the performance, blending live electronics, cello, voice, and toys to explore the paradox between grief and celebration. ‘The Partridge Bird' embodies the thematic essence of ‘Opera for 1000 Crows', drawing inspiration from a traditional funeral dance ritual in Upper Egypt and Delta villages. This limping movement, performed by women around graves, mirrors the motion of crows, creatures deeply tied to burial myths in Islamic traditions. The track encapsulates this duality, transforming it into a haunting, funeralistic soundscape that bridges life and death. Following the track premiere, ‘Opera for 1000 Crows' will make its full debut on February 13 at the French Institute in Cairo, marking YUNIS' first performance of the project in Egypt after extensive touring in Europe. The show, an interactive experience incorporating poetry recitations and experimental vocal performances by YUNIS himself, will create a meditative space for reflection, healing, and solidarity. With this premiere, YUNIS not only introduces audiences to his latest sonic exploration but also sets the stage for what promises to be a groundbreaking artistic experience. 'Opera for 1000 Crows' will continue its journey with a second performance scheduled for April at the French Institute in Alexandria.

In this episode of PING, Nowmay Opalinski from the French Institute of Geopolitics at Paris 8 University discusses his work on resilience, or rather the lack of it, confronting the Internet in Pakistan. As discussed in his blog post, Nowmay and his colleagues at the French Institute of Geopolitics (IFG), University Paris 8, and LUMS University Pakistan used a combination of technical measurement from sources such as RIPE Atlas, in a methodology devised by the GEODE project, combined with interviews in Pakistan, to explore the reasons behind Pakistan's comparative fragility in the face of seaborne fibre optical cable connectivity. The approach deliberately combines technical and social-science approaches to exploring the problem space, with quantitative data and qualitative interviews. Located at the head of the Arabian Sea, but with only two points of connectivity into the global Internet, Pakistan has suffered over 22 ‘cuts' to the service in the last 20 years, However, as Nowmay explores in this episode, there actually are viable fibre connections to India close to Lahore, which are constrained by politics. Nowmay is completing a PhD at the institute, and is a member of the GEODE project. His paper on this study was presented at the 2024 AINTEC conference held in Sydney, as part of ACM SIGCOMM 2024.

What does the most-purchased beverage in the world — coffee — do to your brain? Five centuries after its discovery, coffee is deeply entrenched in our diets on a global scale. More than half the U.S. population drinks coffee daily. We wake up with coffee, and catch up with friends over coffee. Historically, coffee has been heralded as an inspiring muse. But many headlines have warned us about the adverse effects of coffee. Is there truth in the supposed risks, or can we keep sipping away without a worry?  In this episode of ‘Your Brain On...', we discuss: • What caffeine does to your brain, and why it makes you feel awake • How much coffee is too much, and how caffeine affects us all differently (depending on our metabolism) • The antioxidant benefits of coffee • How coffee can improve concentration, and even potentially protect against neurodegenerative diseases • How different kinds of coffee affect our brains differently (black vs. cream and sugar, brewed vs. filter, caffeinated vs. decaf) • The risks of caffeine addiction • A brief history of how coffee became so ubiquitous in our lives Bringing the buzz to this episode are two coffee geniuses: DR. ASTRID NEHLIG, a neuroscientist out of the French Institute of Health and Medical Research who has studied the health impacts of coffee with impressive extensiveness.  PROFESSOR JONATHAN MORRIS, AKA ‘The Coffee Historian', author of ‘Coffee: A Global History' and co-creator of the History of Coffee Podcast. ‘Your Brain On' is hosted by neurologists, scientists and public health advocates Ayesha and Dean Sherzai.  Drs.

Why do we continue to trust the media even after they've been proven wrong so frequently? Michael Crichton called it “Gell-Mann Amnesia.” “In short: when we actually possess expertise in the subject under examination, we almost invariably find media representations of that subject are lacking at best and outright lies at worst,” summarizes James Corbett. “But, for some reason, once we turn the page or flip the channel, we go right back to believing that the other journalists and authors out there actually know what they're talking about.” 「 SPONSORED BY 」• CBDISTILLERY – Targeted CBD formulations made from the highest quality CLEAN ingredients.

Part 2: “It's the worst kept secret in Sudan”.In 2019, the Dossier Centre in London, shared some leaked internal documents from the private military company, the Wagner Group. The documents showed that Wagner had identified several countries they wanted to target for future operations. What was clear is that they often targeted countries with weakened autocratic government, seeking support against an internal threat.In this episode, we navigate the illicit gold trade in Sudan and beyond by studying a complex corporate web. How these structures are used to bypass sanctions and whether the US designation of the Wagner Group as a "Transnational Criminal Organization" adds anything to the fight.Speaker(s):Julia Stanyard, senior analyst at the Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime and author of the paper ‘The Grey Zone: Russia's military, mercenary and criminal engagement in Africa'.Thierry Vircoulon, Research associate at the French Institute for International Affairs in Paris, member of the GI Network of Experts and a lead author of ‘The Grey Zone: Russia's military, mercenary and criminal engagement in Africa'.Kholood Khair - the Founder and Director of Confluence Advisory, Khartoum.Ken Opala, the Field Network Coordinator for East and Southern Africa, Global Initiative against Transnational Organized Crime.Mohanad Hashim, freelance Sudanese journalist, currently working at the BBC.Jason Blazakis, Professor and Director of the Center on Terrorism, Extremism and Counterterrorism at the Middlebury Institute of International Studies.Justin Lynch, researcher, and author of Sudan's Unfinished Democracy.Additional Reading:(GI Paper)The grey zone: Russia's military, mercenary and criminal engagement in Africa(GI Paper) Going for Gold: Russia, sanctions and illicit gold trade'If you desert, we'll execute you': 'Putin's chef' recruits convicts for war Yevgeny Prigozhin: UK reviews rules after Wagner head sued journalistUK exposes sick Russian troll factory plaguing social media with Kremlin propagandaFake news and public executions: Documents show a Russian company's plan for quelling protests in SudanWagner chief admits to founding Russian troll farm sanctioned for meddling in US electionsUkraine capital Kyiv endures Russian onslaught - BBC NewsRussia is plundering gold in Sudan to boost Putin's war effort in UkraineSudan TV broadcast taken off air after loud bangs during military clashes

Will NIDA get rid of the word "Abuse" and go from National Institute on Drug Abuse to National Institute on Drugs and Addiction? Should people get a prescription to buy a vape pen? What is the science on label for marijuana products? Dr. Nora Volkow, director of NIDA shares her hopes for 2023 and discusses the science behind drug addiction. Nora D. Volkow, M.D., is Director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) at the National Institutes of Health. NIDA is the world's largest funder of research on the health aspects of drug use and addiction. Dr. Volkow's work has been instrumental in demonstrating that drug addiction is a brain disorder. As a research psychiatrist, Dr. Volkow pioneered the use of brain imaging to investigate how substance use affects brain functions. In particular, her studies have documented that changes in the dopamine system affect the functions of frontal brain regions involved with reward and self-control in addiction. She has also made important contributions to the neurobiology of obesity, ADHD, and aging. Dr. Volkow was born in Mexico and earned her medical degree from the National University of Mexico in Mexico City, where she received the Robins Award for best medical student of her generation. Her psychiatric residency was at New York University, where she earned a Laughlin Fellowship from The American College of Psychiatrists as one of 10 outstanding psychiatric residents in the United States. Much of her professional career was spent at the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, where she held several leadership positions including Director of Nuclear Medicine, Chairman of the Medical Department, and Associate Director for Life Sciences. Dr. Volkow was also a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Associate Dean of the Medical School at The State University of New York at Stony Brook. Dr. Volkow has published more than 800 peer-reviewed articles, written more than 100 book chapters, manuscripts and articles, co-edited "Neuroscience in the 21st Century" and edited four books on brain imaging for mental and addictive disorders. She received a Nathan Davis Award for Outstanding Government Service, was a Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medal (Sammies) finalist and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Association of American Physicians. Dr. Volkow received the International Prize from the French Institute of Health and Medical Research for her pioneering work in brain imaging and addiction science; was awarded the Carnegie Prize in Mind and Brain Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University; and was inducted into the Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) Hall of Fame. She was named one of Time magazine's "Top 100 People Who Shape Our World"; one of "20 People to Watch" by Newsweek magazine; Washingtonian magazine's "100 Most Powerful Women"; "Innovator of the Year" by U.S. News & World Report; and one of "34 Leaders Who Are Changing Health Care" by Fortune magazine.

Antibiotics can be wonder drugs. Not only do they save lives, but they can also make farm animals fatten up more quickly. But their overuse hurts everyone as the germs they are designed to kill evolve more and more defenses, giving rise to superbugs that infect people and animals alike.The ROADMAP project aims to find better ways to help farmers and food producers use fewer antibiotics. In this episode of One World, One Health, we're chatting with Dr. Nicolas Fortané, a senior researcher in sociology at the French Institute for Agricultural Research, part of Paris-Dauphine University.He's working to understand the relationships that lead to the continued overuse of antibiotics. It's one thing to ask farmers and veterinarians to lay off these useful drugs but quite another to expect them to lose their livelihoods if they try.Listen as Dr. Nicolas Fortané explains what he has learned about what works.

Dr Élie Tenenbaum joins Beatrice and Paul to discuss two French strategists who focused strongly on the political and psychological warfare element of both insurgencies and counterinsurgency operations (COIN). Roger Trinquier (1908–1986) and David Galula (1919–1967) had ample personal experience of insurgencies and COIN operations: both had served in French missions in China (Trinquier in the 1930s and Galula during the last phase of the Chinese Civil War). They emphasised a comprehensive approach that would bring all tools to bear – 'an interlocking system of actions' (Trinquier) from kinetic to propaganda, coupled with economic and social incentives targeted at the population. This ‘total' and largely population-centric approach reflected the strong reverberations of the Algerian War in France, fought close to home with French conscripts over the future of the French settlers. But as French attempts to reassert their colonial rule in Indochina and to keep Algeria were defeated bloodily and humiliatingly, COIN became a non-topic in France; Trinquier and Galula were all but forgotten in their country. Trinquier, in particular, became associated with the practice of ticking-bomb torture during the Algerian War, contrary to the laws of war. By contrast, the Pentagon took a great interest in their ideas as US involvement in the conflicts of Southeast Asia gathered speed. Today, their writing is thus linked with the Vietnam War, where in particular some of their psychological warfare prescriptions were applied. Dr Élie Tenenbaum is the Director of the French Institute for International Relations' (IFRI) Security Studies Centre. He is a graduate of Sciences Po and was a Visiting Fellow at Columbia University. His latest book, co-authored with Marc Hecker, is on jihadism and counterterrorism in the 21st century.

The various types of images in Aschely Cone's work are unified insofar as they all share a meditation on the idea of ground—as something that underpins or is beneath something else, something that we notice persisting in the face of, or even because of, change, something as simple as the ground we stand on, or something a bit more intangible like what grounds us metaphorically. Her current project, "The Ground Beneath the Ground", thinks about ground as earth or dirt. In these small panels the image is often situated within a low-relief, sculptural niche on the ground of the support itself. Images of the land are depicted—often images of volcanoes, or images gathered from a long-distance solo hike in Northern New Mexico. Her upcoming work will bring this meditation to the forests of Gabon, Africa. Aschely Vaughan Cone (b. 1985, San Antonio, TX) received an MFA from the LeRoy E. Hoffberger School of Painting at the Maryland Institute College of Art (2016), an MA in Art History from Tulane University (2014) and BA in Liberal Arts from St. John's College (2007), where she studied classics, philosophy and the history of math and science. Her awards include a matching scholarship for study at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, the SMCM-MICA Artist House Teaching Fellowship, the Hamiltonian Fellowship and The Henry Walters Traveling Fellowship. The book mentioned in the interview was The Peregrine by J.A. Baker. We also discussed Gabon, learn more here with a free download.

As #Russia's invasion of #Ukraine has continued, a wealth of evidence has emerged on the brutality of Russian soldiers in the areas of Ukraine they have occupied. Looting, sexual assault, extrajudicial killings, the deliberate targeting of civilian populations and infrastructure - the list of potential war crimes is long and grows each day. However, despite the documented evidence, historically there are a number of challenges in bringing the perpetrators of war crimes and crimes against humanity to justice. The law of armed conflict and international humanitarian law are often weak, leaky, and lack robust enforcement tools. Those tools that exist depend on the political will of countries to enforce them, and that will is not always there. In this #BruteCast, Dr. Joanna Siekiera discussed the frameworks for the law of armed conflict and international humanitarian law in the context of Russia's invasion, as well as the sobering reality of what challenges lie ahead for those agencies that will seek to prosecute Russian war crimes once the war finally ends. Dr. Joanna Siekiera is an international lawyer and a LEGAD from Poland, currently working as a researcher at the Faculty of Law, University of Bergen in Norway. She is also a Legal subject matter expert at the NATO Stability Policing Centre of Excellence in Vicenza, Italy. She did her PhD studies in New Zealand, at the Faculty of Law, Victoria University of Wellington, and defended her title as Doctor of Social Sciences in Public Policy Sciences at the Warsaw School of Economics in Poland. Dr. Siekiera gained international experience in Polish diplomatic missions to Canada and Estonia, the Institute of Cultural Diplomacy in Germany, the School of Humanitarian Law in Russia, the UN CIMIC Training School, the French Institute of International and Strategic Affairs, and NATO. She is an author of 8 books, over 100 scientific publications in several languages, and 40 legal opinions for the Polish Ministry of Justice on Public international law, international relations and security. Her areas of expertise are the South Pacific region, Pacific Ocean governance, and the law of armed conflict (NATO legal framework, Central Europe, security in the South Pacific, gender in armed conflict).

Rafael Cortina interviews the Gestalt Legend Jean-Marie Robine Jean-Marie Robine is a legend in the world of Gestalt Therapy. He asks important philosophical questions. Does the now have a future? Is contact the source of all experience? What is the impact of conscious and non-conscious intentionality? What does Gestalt therapy teach us about the importance of “contact” and the “unfolding self?” Can you really start learning to play the drums in your 60's? Jean-Marie is much more than a renowned international trainer. He is an artisan, writer, lecturer, and scholar. In this Podcast, Jean-Marie discusses his passion for Gestalt therapy, art, writing, home design, and architecture. A consummate learner he picked up the drums in his 60's and joked about how he was taking lessons with school aged children. And he felt right at home. He is the founder and past director of the Gestalt Therapy Institute (France), co-founder and past president of the European Association for Gestalt Therapy. To top it off, he has published eight books and numerous articles… and he still believes that “Social Change Begins with Two.”To learn more about French Institute of Gestalt Therapy click here To purchase on of Jean-Marie's books click here WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here

Loneliness. Heartache. Emptiness. Isolation. Everything that describes film noir also describes the pandemic. When Melissa Errico first fell down the YouTube rabbit hole of film noir, she didn't expect to find a new passion. After watching hours of tragic femme fatale actresses fall trap to their fate and lonely heroes become disillusioned with society — she realized that the themes of the 1940s weren't so far away after all. A collaboration with the French Institue Alliance Francaise for a film festival further cemented this love for film noir, and most especially for the music these movies featured. Out the Dark presents 17 tracks arranged with the very heart of film noir. Songs like "Laura," "On Vit, On Aime," and "Silent Partner" capture the mystery and intrigue of those classic films. "Farewell My Lovely" showcases a beautiful lyrical setting to the tune of "Marlo's Theme," originally written by David Shire for the movie Farewell My Lovely. And, Melissa gets to star in her very own novella in the music video for "Angel Eyes" — a seven-minute watch that you don't want to miss. Listen to the full episode to hear the stories behind each track on Out of the Dark. Melissa Errico shares how her collaboration with the French Institute began, her vision for the album, and the intriguing tale behind her brand new music video.

#Russia's invasion of #Ukraine is now in its third week, but it only took a few days of fighting for the world to see that Vladimir Putin's evident hope for rapid and generally bloodless victory had been shattered. Putin expected his soldiers to walk into Ukrainian cities and be welcomed with open arms. Instead, the Russian army is stalled along several fronts by stiff Ukrainian resistance, and many of the cities that were likely objectives for the first days of the war remain unconquered. But taking those cities remains a key goal for Putin, and the world is now watching as urban warfare takes center stage in this conflict. Cities like Mariupol and Kherson are either encircled or already at least partially occupied; others, like Kyiv and Kharkiv, are being battered in preparation for attempts to seize them; and those like Odesa are wondering how long it will be before Russian ground forces reach their outskirts. To talk us through the unique and bitter challenges of urban warfare, as well as Russia's approach to it, we are pleased to welcome Dr. Rita Konaev. Dr. Konaev is a Research Fellow at Georgetown's Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) interested in military applications of AI and Russian military innovation.

NIDA is the world's largest funder of research on the health aspects of drug use and addiction. Dr. Volkow’s work has been instrumental in demonstrating that drug addiction is a brain disorder. As a research psychiatrist, Dr. Volkow pioneered the use of brain imaging to investigate how substance use affects brain functions. In particular, her studies have documented that changes in the dopamine system affect the functions of frontal brain regions involved with reward and self-control in addiction. She has also made important contributions to the neurobiology of obesity, ADHD, and aging. Dr. Volkow was born in Mexico and earned her medical degree from the National University of Mexico in Mexico City, where she received the Robins Award for best medical student of her generation. Her psychiatric residency was at New York University, where she earned a Laughlin Fellowship from The American College of Psychiatrists as one of 10 outstanding psychiatric residents in the United States. Much of her professional career was spent at the Department of Energy's Brookhaven National Laboratory in Upton, New York, where she held several leadership positions including Director of Nuclear Medicine, Chairman of the Medical Department, and Associate Director for Life Sciences. Dr. Volkow was also a professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Associate Dean of the Medical School at The State University of New York at Stony Brook. Dr. Volkow has published more than 800 peer-reviewed articles, written more than 100 book chapters, manuscripts and articles, co-edited “Neuroscience in the 21st Century” and edited four books on brain imaging for mental and addictive disorders. She received a Nathan Davis Award for Outstanding Government Service, was a Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medal (Sammies) finalist and is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and the Association of American Physicians. Dr. Volkow received the International Prize from the French Institute of Health and Medical Research for her pioneering work in brain imaging and addiction science; was awarded the Carnegie Prize in Mind and Brain Sciences from Carnegie Mellon University; and was inducted into the Children and Adults with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (CHADD) Hall of Fame. She was named one of Time magazine’s “Top 100 People Who Shape Our World”; one of “20 People to Watch” by Newsweek magazine; Washingtonian magazine's “100 Most Powerful Women”; “Innovator of the Year” by U.S. News & World Report; and one of “34 Leaders Who Are Changing Health Care” by Fortune magazine.

And it's made of different studios where you have a living space and a working space. So, it means that the artists come live and work in the same space. This stems from a very 20th-century idea and concept which was the need for Paris to provide itself with proper accommodation and working spaces for artists. There are some memories of Picasso and the likes struggling all through winter in horrid conditions precisely because there was no adequate infrastructure for artists, so that was why the two people, mostly one person, Félix Brunau, decided that he wanted to build a Cité Internationale des Arts for artists to come for temporary residencies. It was founded by Félix Brunau then, who was an architect and much more, also a diplomat, and an extraordinary figure of the 20th century, but it gets all sorts of public support from the Minister of Culture, the City of Paris, and also the Academie des Beaux-Arts, which actually provided some assistance when Cité Internationale des Arts was conceived.

Save Meduza!https://support.meduza.io/enOur main story this week is the treason case against Ilya Sachkov, the 35-year-old CEO of the cybersecurity firm Group-IB. On Wednesday morning, September 29, hours after officials raided the company's Moscow office, a local court jailed Sachkov for the next two months, pending trial. That will likely be extended several times, as the authorities collect more evidence. The Naked Pravda explores why Sachkov may have been arrested and asks what his case means for Russia's cybersecurity industry and Moscow's troubled cooperation with the United States against cybercrime.
