In this episode of Applied Geopolitics from RANE, host Rodger Baker speaks to Dr. Kamran Bokhari, Director of Analytical Development at the New Lines Institute, who has just returned from a trip to Central Asia. They discuss how Central Asia is re-emerging as a key region for trans-Eurasian trade. But the landlocked Central Asian “Stans” sit in a complicated neighborhood, with a new sort of Great Game being played quietly among Russia, China, and more recently Turkey, with political and security uncertainty in nearby Afghanistan, and with a growing desire for additional outside investment to build on recent economic and transportation gains.

In this Essential Geopolitics podcast from RANE, Emily Donahue speaks with Emily Hawthorne about Egypt's current crisis. Emily Hawthorne is RANE's senior Middle East and North Africa analyst. In recent analyses for RANE Clients, she points out that Egypt's economy will remain vulnerable so long as the war in Ukraine continues to chip away at Cairo's foreign currency reserves by making imports more expensive, dampening tourism rates and spooking foreign investors. The decline in the Egyptian pound's value has further driven up the cost of imported goods (such as food and fuel), exacerbating the commodity price shocks created by the war in Ukraine. The fallout from the ongoing conflict has also seen fewer Ukrainian, Russian and European tourists visit Egypt in recent months, depriving Cairo of a key source of foreign currency. RANE is a global risk intelligence company. One of many exclusive products, RANE Intelligence Briefs leverage a combination of machine learning and analyst curation to zero in on important developments and turn them into actionable intelligence.

Episode 152 of the #AskAbhijit show: Ask me interesting questions, and I shall answer them.

My guest today is Dr Samir Puri, who is a visiting lecturer in War Studies at King's College London and has previously taught at Cambridge and John Hopkins. He joined me for a deep dive into his two most recent books. The first one, ‘The Great Imperial Hangover: How Empires Have Shaped the World', explores how empires of the past still influence geopolitics today. And the second one, ‘Russia's Road to War with Ukraine: Invasion amidst the ashes of empires', published in late August, explores the role of imperialism in Putin's ultimate decision to invade Ukraine and traces Ukraine's fate as a nation caught in a geopolitical tug-of-war between Russia and the West. Samir has also served as an international observer at five Ukrainian elections, including during the Orange Revolution in 2004. Soon after the first Donbas war began in 2014, he spent a year in east Ukraine working on both sides of the front line as part of an international ceasefire monitoring mission. Since Russia's latest invasion of Ukraine, Samir's analyses of the war have been featured by the BBC, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg, CNN, the Wall Street Journal, and other media outlets. Some of the topics we discussed are: Samir's background and how it influenced his academic interests Defining ‘empire' and understanding the role of its legacy Distinguishing between a formal and informal empire The consequences of waning US hegemony and Pax Americana The importance of history and lineage to national and individual identity Understanding how imperial legacy contributed to Russia's invasion of Ukraine How Western democracies should navigate their imperial legacy The significance of Ukraine for Russia and its imperial legacy Proximity to history as crucial in shaping contemporary narratives ‘Great power contest' as the present narrative Exploring the structural reasons why Ukraine is currently a warzone Understanding NATO and how it might be perceived outside of the alliance Samir's assessment of how the Russian invasion of Ukraine ends Exploring the impact of the Russian invasion on Chinese post-imperial aspirations Samir's greatest concern as we head into 2023

2023 looks likely to be a year of recession, inflation, social and labor unrest, war, the ravages of climate etc. One casualty of that mess is likely to be the rule of law; justice seems to take a beating when times are bad. Why is that? The demand for justice is not only a basic human right, but also a human need. Is it possible to deliver effective justice at the individual level, to actually make justice systems work for people? Sam Muller, believes the answer is an emphatic, “Yes”. He founded and today leads the Hague Institute for Innovation of Law (HiiL) they are in the business of building “people-centered justice” that works for everyone.

Peter Zeihan (@peterzeihan) is a geopolitical strategist, founder of the consulting firm Zeihan on Geopolitics, and author of The Absent Superpower, The Accidental Superpower, Disunited Nations, and The End of the World is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization. What We Discuss with Peter Zeihan: How advancements in technology and global trade have led to a world where virtually everything we could want or need is available on tap. What the role of the United States has been in creating such a world, and why it seems to be rapidly losing interest in maintaining this role. What would happen if this interconnected world were to suddenly become disconnected — and the nations of the world had to become self-sufficient and produce their own goods, food, and energy. How only a small percentage of the world's countries could successfully adapt to such a disruption, and what this would mean for the majority of the global population. What the aftermath of this social upheaval might look like, and how we can be best prepared to emerge from the chaos intact. And much more...

Scott Moore, author of China's Next Act, discusses China's global role in energy technology and sustainability. --- China is indispensable in the global effort to address climate change and speed forward the transition to clean energy. Yet the country, which leads the world in both energy consumption and the manufacture of clean energy technologies, finds itself engaged in increasingly tense diplomatic and economic relations with the world's developed economies, its key partners in addressing shared global challenges.  The degree to which these tensions frame China's relationship with much of the world, and the degree to which China acts as a collaborative, or a competitive force in addressing global challenges, has implications for the global energy system and quality of our environment. Scott Moore, Director of China Programs and Strategic Initiatives at the University of Pennsylvania, and author of China's Next Act: How Sustainability and Technology are Reshaping China's Rise and the World's Future, explores how China's state-directed economic system, and the country's economic ambitions, influence global efforts to advance energy technology and the energy transition.

We're usually pretty bullish on the EU, but this week some interesting data points were released that made us rethink our usual Euro decisions. Jacob and Rob take some time to break down the data behind their decision to short the Euro, then move southwest to Latin America where commodities seem to be ignoring the wild political strife and flying to the moon. Finally, heading over to the Middle East and Asia, R & J tackle Iran's strange outbursts and try to gauge whether India is actually able to do what it says.Timestamps:1:17-21:35 – Shorting the euro21:35-36:10 – Peru/Panama/Copper/Nationalization36:10-42:2242:22-end – Iran and India Make sure to check out the Cognitive Dissidents site and services here.The Global Situation Report (CI Newsletter)Cognitive Investments This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Chartable - https://chartable.com/privacyPodtrac - https://analytics.podtrac.com/privacy-policy-gdrp

The Company has a well-established prior operational and production history in South Africa, extensive prior experience supplying rough diamonds to the world market, and has established a long-term strategic alliance with world famous Tiffany & Co. Rather than exposing itself to the high risks and costs associated with traditional exploration, the Company's focus is on the identification, acquisition, and operation of unique diamond projects with near-term production potential such as the Krone-Endora at Venetia Project. The Krone-Endora at Venetia project was acquired from De Beers and is co-located directly adjacent to the De Beers Venetia Diamond Mine in the Limpopo province of the Republic of South Africa, approximately 500 km north-northeast of Johannesburg. The Venetia mine is the 3rd largest diamond mine in the world, and South Africa's largest producer of diamonds, accounting for over 50% of South Africa's annual output. A high percentage of the diamonds produced at Venetia are reported as being gem quality, with the rest sold for industrial uses. Given the Krone-Endora projects location directly adjacent to the established Venetia mine, many operational benefits are obvious. In addition to this, both the previous exploration and the NI43-101 report concluded that the deposit on Krone-Endora at Venetia was not only an alluvial deposit, but also a rare eluvial deposit indicating a direct shift of material from the higher grounds of the Venetia Kimberlite clusters onto the lower surrounding areas of Krone-Endora. Given the eluvial nature of the deposit and its location directly adjacent to the source, the diamondiferous gravels at Krone-Endora at Venetia appear much more consistent in nature with initial grades from drilling and bulk testing much higher than that of typical alluvial type deposits.

At least one in nine of the almost eight billion people who live on earth are undernourished. As the 18th century economist Robert Malthus forecast, we seem on a path where the planet can't produce enough food for the projected 10 billion people who will be alive in 2050. Climate change and wars will only make the global food situation more precarious. Is large scale famine inevitable? David Kaplan, a global leader in the new field of cellular agriculture, doesn't think so. He believes the steaks and fish fillets that he and other scientists are literally growing in their labs can eventually feed a hungry world. What do you think?
