The Hoover Institution's Project on Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region held a public session on Resilient Realists: How Taiwan Navigates Its Future in a Turbulent World on March 2, 2026 from 1:00-2:30 PM PT. Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical competition between the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) has rapidly intensified, and the global order has faced growing strains. Through it all, Taiwan has remained remarkably resilient. In the face of relentless diplomatic, economic, and military pressure from Beijing, Taiwan's leaders have leveraged the island's critical role in global technology supply chains, its reputation as a robust liberal democracy, and its strategic position in the Indo-Pacific to deepen engagement with key world powers. As many Americans question core assumptions of the post-Cold War global order, the PRC's military power continues to grow, and the world stands on the cusp of a technological revolution in artificial intelligence, can Taiwan continue to navigate so deftly through turbulent geopolitical waters? To address these topics, the Project on Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region at the Hoover Institution held a fireside chat featuring Dr. Hung-mao Tien, President of the Institute for National Policy Research (INPR) in Taipei and a former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Dr. Tien joined in conversation by Adm. (Ret.) James O. Ellis, the Annenberg Distinguished Visiting Fellow, and Dr. Larry Diamond, the William L. Clayton Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution. ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Dr. Hung-mao Tien is the President and Chairman of the Institute for National Policy Research in Taipei, and board member of several foundations and business corporations in Taiwan. He also serves as a Senior Advisor to the President of the Republic of China (Taiwan). From 2000-2002, he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He also served as the chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, the semi-official body in Taiwan responsible for direct exchanges and dialogue with the People's Republic of China, Representative (ambassador) to the United Kingdom, and presidential advisor to former President Lee Teng-hui. He has also served in an advisory capacity to Harvard University's Asia Center, The Asia Society in New York, and the Brookings Institution in Washington, D.C. Dr. Tien has taught in universities in both the US and Taiwan as professor of political science. His numerous publications in English (author, editor and co-editor) include: Government and Politics in Kuomintang China 1927-37 (Stanford University Press); The Great Transition: Social and Political Change in the Republic of China (Stanford: Hoover Institution Press); and Democratization in Taiwan, Implications for China (St. Anthony's Series, Oxford University), Consolidating the Third Wave Democracies, Themes and Perspectives (Baltimore and London: The Johns Hopkins University Press), China Under Jiang Zemin (Rienner), and The Security Environment in the Asia-Pacific (M.E. Sharpe). He received his Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Larry Diamond is the William L. Clayton Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, the Mosbacher Senior Fellow in Global Democracy at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies (FSI), and a Bass University Fellow in Undergraduate Education at Stanford University.

The Asia Pacific Report Guest: Meenakshi Ganguly by Radio Islam
Madagascar, la gran isla ubicada en el océano Índico frente a la costa oriental de África, vuelve a ocupar los titulares por su crisis política.Desde el 19 de septiembre comenzaron protestas que inicialmente tenían como eje central la normalización del suministro de agua y electricidad en las grandes ciudades.El 29 de septiembre, después de días de movilizaciones, el presidente Andry Rajoelina intentó una jugada al destituir a todos sus ministros y tratar de formar un nuevo gobierno. La población siguió saliendo a las calles exigiendo la “Salida de Rajoelina”.La población vio las acciones del gobierno como un intento de silenciar reclamos legítimos, impulsando a la sociedad civil -con la generación Z como protagonista- a tomar las calles. Las protestas iniciaron en la capital del país, Antananarivo, y a día de hoy se han expandido a otras ciudades de la isla.Muchos miembros de la Generación Z han experimentado dos recesiones económicas a lo largo de su vida: en 2008-2009 y tras la COVID-19. Ganguly afirmó que esta generación también pasó dos años formativos en aislamiento, separados físicamente de sus compañeros, aunque esos años de pandemia también intensificaron su uso de las plataformas digitales a niveles sin precedentes.Recibimos a los estudiantes de Relaciones Internacionales, Nara Almeida, Felipe Guadalupe y Sofía Benítez; miembros de Oidef (Organización de Internacionalistas y diplomáticos en formación) quienes nos introdujeron una nueva mirada sobre los actuales conflictos sociales.

Trump's 50% tariffs may impact our relations with India now!

In the first episode of season four, host Anjali Alappat sits down with Gigi Ganguly, to discuss her debut collection of short stories, Biopeculiar: Stories of an Uncertain World (Westland Books, 2024). Gigi began her career as a journalist and, after some years of writing for newspapers, she decided to study creative writing at the University of Limerick. Her first novella, One Arm Shorter than the Other, published in 2022, got her nominated for the Subjective Chaos Kind of Award in 2023. Biopeculiar: Stories of an Uncertain World focuses on the relationship between the human and more-than-human in a fascinating, speculative way. A man herds clouds, a powerhouse singer conjures rain, a scientist piggybacks on an otter's consciousness, and much more. In this episode, we discuss the beauty of Steinbeck's writing, the peculiar case of Elon Musk, K-dramas, rain songs, dinosaurs and robots.

For nearly two decades, Abhishek Ganguly worked as the managing director of Puma, the German athleisure brand in India. In that period alone, the brand's revenue shot up from Rs 20 crore to close to Rs 4,000 crore. Under Ganguly, Puma even managed to beat its longtime rival Adidas to become a market leader. In 2023, Ganguly decided to quit and start his own venture called Agilitas Sports with two of his colleagues from Puma, Atul Bajaj and Amit Prabhu. Within a year, Ganguly's company has managed to rack up more than Rs 700 crore in revenue. The way Ganguly and his co-founders got to this point is interesting. Instead of doing the obvious thing and launching their own sneaker brand, Ganguly did something quite odd. Something, that even the biggest sportswear brands in the world – Nike, Reebok, Adidas – have never even attempted. Last September, Agilitas bought India's largest sportswear contract manufacturer, Mochiko shoes. This is the company that manufactures shoes for international brands like Adidas, Puma, New Balance, Skechers, Reebok, Asics, Crocs, Decathlon – the works. Ganguly's logic behind owning the factory is simple – he wants whole pie and not just a slice of the margin. He told The Ken's DVLS Pranathi that having the additional manufacturer's margin in a price-sensitive market like India is worth its weight in gold. But there is a reason giants like Puma and Adidas don't go down this road—taking care of manufacturing in-house is a logistical nightmare. That's why most brands outsource to companies that are equipped to do it, like Mochiko. But Agilitas is dead set on bringing the entire operation in-house. It's convinced it can work and has also managed to convince VCs that there is merit in controlling both manufacturing and distributing. Investors are betting on the Ganguly-Bajaj-Prabhu trio to pull off another Puma-sized victory. But will the other shoe drop? Tune in.**The host mistakenly said a decade instead of two decades when referring to Abhishek Ganguly's stint at Puma.

Originally released: July 18, 2017 Not all that shakes are seizures. Last week, we talked about what it's like to have epilepsy. This week, I am joined by Dr. Taneeta "Mindy" Ganguly to discuss what it's like NOT to have epilepsy--meaning to have non-epileptic seizures. But sometimes, you can have both. And this is where it gets tricky for the neurologist. Produced by James E Siegler. Music by Aitua and Kai Engel. Voiceover by Erika Mejia.

Today's guest is SHRUTI GANGULY an award-winning filmmaker and writer based in Oslo and New York City and we are talking about her feature length directorial debut Tripped Up which opens on October 20. Tripped Up synopsis: Aspiring chef Lizzy sets off with her three best friends in tow to compete in the prestigious Saucy Food Festival.

Swati Ganguly's book Tagore's University: A History of Visva-Bharati, 1921-1961 (New India Foundation, 2022) is for anyone who is searching for tangible ways to revamp higher education, re-organize our socio-economic life, and reimagine participatory democracy. Tagore's University is a history of Visva-Bharati, the world centre of learning and culture founded by Rabindranath Tagore a hundred years ago. The poet's conception entailed several autonomous centres – for Asian studies, the visual arts, music, and rural reconstruction – in defiance of the standard notions of a university. Visva-Bharati was set up to break barriers between nations and races by rebuilding in miniature the visva – the world torn apart by World War I. The book traces the first four decades of this large experiment in building a cultural community of learning, teaching, and scholarship. It tells the story of exceptional individuals from across Europe, Asia, America, and India who became Tagore's collaborators in a mini-universe of creativity and humane intellection. It reveals why in its heyday Visva-Bharati was so internationally renowned as an extraordinarily attractive institution. Swati Ganguly explores the many achievements of what Tagore called his “life's best treasure”. She also narrates changes in the material life and spirit of the place after Tagore, when it was shaped by the larger forces of a newly independent India. Archives, memoirs, official documents, and oral narratives come alive in this compellingly written and little-known history of an institution that once redefined tradition and modernity. Interested listeners can order a very affordable copy on AbeBooks. In general, AbeBooks is a good vender for getting printed books from Indian publishers. The interview is a bit on the long side. Feel free to skip parts of it. Generally speaking, the first hour is about the administrative history (chronology) of Visvabharati and the second hour is about each program: oriental studies, arts, rural reform, and life (like adda) in Santiniketan. Trust me, wherever you begin, you'll find fascinating stories, amazing lives lived, and bold dreams and courageous experiments to build a different way of life for all.
