Journée Mondiale de la Sécurité et de la Santé au Travail «zordi bann travayer sibir plis violens psychik ki violens physik» souligne Reaz Chuttoo by TOPFM MAURITIUS

Danes pa poglejmo k našim dragim prijateljem reklamarjem. Ljudje, ki teoretično in praktično posedujejo, usmerjajo in določajo vso globalno medijsko krajino, se ljudsko imenujejo reklamarji, sami sebi pa pravijo kreativni direktorji. Ker se to sliši bolj fino. Ampak saj niso edini. Kar nekaj je poklicev, ki se z imenitnimi nazivi poskušajo vzdigniti iz povprečnosti običajne službe. Kuharji se imenujejo chefi, mi navadni pisuni pa si pravimo kolumnisti. Je pa sorazmerno preprosto; če so reklamarji cvet kreative in kreativni direktorji, kaj je potem Tolstoj? Tako gre to. In kaj so reklamarji spet zakuhali? V oglasu za restavracijo hitre prehrane, ki je ne smemo omeniti – če pa bi nam plačali, bi jo pa omenjali kar naprej – so zapisali: "Nisi bil ti. Jaz sem bila kriva. Plis, pokliči me." "Vem, da sem te razočarala. A se lahko pogovoriva?" Oglas govori o novem okusu sladoleda, ki ima dodano pistacijo. Pokonci so skočili iz organizacije za zaščito žensk, češ da je oglas seksističen in kar je podobnih izrazov, ker žensko – oziroma v tem primeru samostalnik ženskega spola z obrazilom na a, ki je v bistvu orešček – ponižuje v stereotipno vlogo žrtve moške prevlade, pogosto nasilja. Kreativni direktorji se proti tem obtožbam branijo, češ da gre za kreativno oglaševanje, o tem, kdo ima prav, pa bo razsodilo reklamarsko sodišče, ali pač reklamarsko krivosodje. Odvisno s katere strani marketinga bo pihal veter. Dokler se ne izkaže marketinška pravica, pa nam – ki smo ena redkih medijskih vsebin brez neposrednega sponzorja, kar je dobro za javni servis, slabo pa za žepe avtorjev – ostaja prostor za nekaj pojasnil. Najprej o tem, kako bi se lahko reklamarji izognili vsej tej šlamastiki. Na prvem mestu si tega oglasa kreativno sploh ne bi izmislili, kot drugo pa bi dodali sladoledu še okus lešnika. Ali oreha. Ki oba spominjata na moško semenišče, in oglas bi se glasil tako: "Nisi bila ti. Jaz sem bil kriv. Plis, pokliči me." "Vem, da sem te razočaral. A se lahko pogovoriva?" Oglas je praktično enak, en a dodamo in tri izbrišemo, pa dobimo enakopravnost spolov in uravnoteženo oglaševanje. Ker če resnično in nepotvorjeno pogledamo to in jamrajočo naracijo, kako deluje v praksi … tudi moški po prepiru ali razhodu jokajoče pošiljajo sporočila, v slogu: "Plis, pokliči me, ne bom te razočaral, nikoli več."           Razmerje med temi čustvenimi izlivi je tako prek palca vsaj pol pol, če pa poslušaš balkanske popevke, ki so tako zelo priljubljene v Sloveniji, se to razmerje celo nagiba v koristi moškega cmizdrenja. Hočemo povedati naslednje; ko govorimo o čustvenih razočaranjih, razhodih, ločitvah in podobnih samomorih človeškega srca, je stereotipna vloga spolov pač fluidna. Odvisna od prizadetosti in realnih okoliščin. Da so se reklamarji odločili v oglasu uporabiti in stereotipno prikazati samo žensko prizadetost, ranljivost in šibkost, je prav tako neumno, kot gre z marketinškega stališča za izgubljeno priložnost. Z moškim oglasom bi nagovorili še vse jokajoče moške in maščevalne ženske. Naslednje, o čemer se moramo pogovoriti, pa je pistacija, ki stoji v osrčju oglasa … Jasno je, da je pistacija na pohodu, saj jo je moč najti skoraj v vsem, kar se da použiti. Cinik bi dodal, da zadnji čas, kajti proteinov smo se naužili že prek vseh meja in naj se prevlada, ko so začeli proteine dodajati še v šampone za lase, konča z vstajenjem pistacije. Pistacija v sladoledu se morebiti sliši bizarno, a pravkar beremo, da je čokolada s pistacijo, ki so jo izumili v Dubaju, povzročila akutno pomanjkanje na pistacijskem trgu in v slovenskih pregovorih pistacija pravkar zamenjuje žafran in kafro. In če smo tudi mi sodelovanje pistacije in potiskanje žensk v mizogine stereotipe znotraj reklame za sladoled, označili kot neprimerno, vendarle obstaja spolni stereotip, ki pa preizkušeno in dokazano živi. Če in ko moški lušči pistacijo med recimo nogometno tekmo lige prvakov, se do polčasa vedno prikaže ženska z nezmotljivim stavkom na ustnicah: "Po koncu boš tole posesal!"

Indian markets largely remained flat on Wednesday. For a second consecutive day, benchmark indices closed in the red with both Nifty and Sensex ending the day less than 0.1 per cent below their previous close. In 2020 the central government production linked incentive or PLI scheme. Hailed by the commerce ministry, with an outlay of almost 2 trillion rupees, the scheme aimed at supporting manufacturing growth in 14 different sectors spanning industries such as electronics, pharma and textile among others. The government is now set to tweak the flagship scheme by periodically reviewing its performance across different sectors and making necessary adjustments. This move aims to revitalise sectors lagging in progress and potentially eliminate the scheme in areas lacking investor interest and advancement. While the scheme has seen varying degrees of success across sectors, with electronics and pharmaceuticals among the beneficiaries, others like IT hardware and textiles have shown slower progress. Mint's senior assistant editor Rhik Kundu reports on the government's proactive approach, which includes restructuring the scheme for underperforming sectors, enhancing efficiency, and positioning Indian manufacturers on the global stage. Moody's, Fitch, Standards and Poor. If you follow business or economy news you have probably heard these names a lot. These are sovereign debt rating agencies which rate countries based on their creditworthiness. These rating agencies grade countries based on several factors such as economic conditions, political climate and their ability to pay back a loan. The grade stretch from AAA for a country with a good credit score to D for countries that are unlikely to pay back the loan. Now an Indian player is set to jump into the sovereign debt rating game. Care Ratings Ltd, is set to debut in sovereign debt ratings, beginning with Asia and Africa and eventually targeting Europe. To facilitate this expansion, the company is establishing CareEdge Global IFSC Ltd in GIFT City, focusing initially on countries like Nepal, Mauritius, and South Africa where it has a footprint. Speaking to Mint's senior editors Shayan Ghosh and Satish John, Mehul Pandya, the managing director and CEO of CareEdge, talked about the strategic move towards rating foreign currency denominated debt through the GIFT City subsidiary.  March saw a surge in the sales of electric two wheelers across the country. More than 1.3 lakh electric scooters and bikes were sold in March. The reason? Consumers rushed to capitalise on the soon-to-be-reduced government subsidies, which were cut by more than half. But it is not all rosy for the electric two wheeler makers, in fact if the numbers tell a completely different story. FY24 recorded the slowest EV adoption rate since FY21, primarily affected by a significant subsidy reduction last June. This reduction slashed the subsidy from covering 40% of the ex-factory price to just 15%. This marked a stark contrast to the almost six-fold rise in e-scooter sales witnessed in FY21 after the FAME-2 subsidy was tweaked. Mint's autos correspondents Alisha Sachdev and Manjul Paul report on the dwindling numbers of e-scooter sales which follows a slash in government subsidies.It was 24 September 2007, a regular Monday for the rest of the world. But that day in South Africa's Johannesburg, something happened that would change India's sporting landscape forever. When Pakistan's Misbah ul Haq scooped Indian pacer Joginder Sharma's delivery towards short fine leg, he was caught by Sreeshanth. With that catch, India did not only beat Pakistan at the finals of the T20 world cup, but also started a domino effect that would bring forth one of the biggest sporting leagues in the world. After India beat its arch rival and won the world cup, this new format became all the rage. Capitalising on better watchability of this three-hour long format of the gentleman's game, BCCI launched its very own Cricket league - the Indian Premier League. Cricket hasn't looked back since then in India. Since its inception in 2008, the IPL has emerged as a financial powerhouse, significantly influencing the sports sponsorship, endorsement, and advertising landscape in India. A report by GroupM highlights that investments in these areas have escalated from 2,423 crore rupees to 15,766 crore rupees in 2023. IPL commanded an astonishing 87% share of last year's total spend. This dominance is underscored by a Brand Finance report showing the IPL's brand valuation surged by 433% in 2023, crossing the 10 billion dollar milestone. The IPL's unparalleled popularity and financial success, driven by a massive 430 million TV audience, contrast sharply with other sports leagues. Despite their efforts, these leagues struggle to match the IPL's appeal, with even the Pro Kabaddi League, the second most popular, reaching only 226 million viewers. The disparity in financial and viewer support highlights the challenging landscape for other sports leagues attempting to emulate the IPL's success model. Mint's senior editor Varuni Khosla takes a deep dive into the modalities of the financial juggernaut that is the Indian Premier League. Vistara is grappling with a series of flight cancellations and delays. According to the airline, inadequate crew rostering is to blame. Now, the carrier is looking to curtail its network for the month of May, people close to the development told Mint's Shrrejay Sinha. CEO Vinod Kannan addressed the issue with pilots after widespread disruptions led to passenger inconvenience. The airline's inability to manage pilot schedules, especially in March, resulted in operational chaos due to a significant rise in unplanned sick leaves. Vistara, merging with Air India under the Tata Group, is transitioning to a uniform pay structure, affecting pilots' salaries and potentially contributing to the disruptions.  We'd love to hear your feedback on this podcast.

India Watch #1: Of Protests and Perfect TricksInsights on issues relevant to India— RSJFor nearly a month now, some of India's top wrestlers, who between them have earned over 25 medals in various global competitions, have been protesting against the conduct of the Wrestling Federation of India (WFI) chief and BJP MP Brij Bhushan Singh. This is not an ordinary protest. The allegations in the FIR against Singh are quite serious, including a couple of instances of demanding sexual favours as a quid pro quo for professional assistance, about 15 incidents of sexual harassment and stories of inappropriate touching, and molestation of minor girls. You would imagine this would be some kind of an open-and-shut case. I mean, here are a few women wrestlers who have everything to lose here by taking a stand against their own federation and the government. They aren't superstar cricketers with financial security and access to media. They don't have multi-million and multi-year sponsorship deals or lucrative post-retirement commentary gigs waiting for them. Their sport is everything to them, and they are willing to risk that one thing they have loved doing all their lives. These are girls who have come up the hard way in a society that doesn't prize either women or sports and especially women in sports. They have persevered despite the odds against them because that's what athletes do. So, the least you would have thought is that while the police investigations and the judicial process is going on, or, as we like to say in India, as the law takes its own course, the government should ask the WFI chief to step down temporarily. Surprisingly though, this doesn't seem to be a priority for the government. Instead, it appears they would rather suppress these voices than address their concerns. So, last week while you had saturation coverage on various channels about the inauguration of the new parliament building, these athletes were being roughed up and assaulted at the site of protest. There was barely any TV media there. As they say, there are always two Indias at work. It is tempting to zoom out a bit and say that this story, in many ways, reflects the current state of Indian politics and society. It is not there yet. But there is a pattern in how we are dealing with protests and dissent that merits a deeper look. Before I go there, let me count the number of ways we have got this thing wrong. Firstly, for decades, we have managed sports and their governing bodies in India in the most unprofessional way possible. These positions have often been given to politicians as small consolation prizes to run their minor fiefdoms. Corruption, nepotism and high-handedness of officials have come along with this. Read any autobiography of an athlete in India and you will be struck by the remarkable apathy and neglect they had to overcome from their own sporting federation to succeed. As major sports events like the Olympics or Asian Games approach, there's often a question of why our sporting performance doesn't reflect our population size and recent prosperity. This story never gets old. While we have seen some improvement in the last decade, we remain an underperforming nation in sports. One fundamental issue to address is improving sports administration by involving experts with experience in either playing the sport, managing large organizations, or possessing a proven visionary track record. Indian tennis is a prime example where one family has presided over its administration for over half a century. We have only gotten worse in tennis, with almost no one ranked anywhere in the top 1000 in the world. Similar fiefdoms exist in other sports like boxing, shooting and even cricket. Despite the efforts of some public-spirited lawyers and a few interventions by the Supreme Court to set things right, things have remained the same. There was some hope when this government came to power that there would be much-needed reforms in sports administration, especially in those early days. However, once you have the keys to the power of the state, it is difficult to resist its benefits. The result is a disheartening situation where politicians with limited understanding or passion for sports lead the federations. We are back to the bad old days now. Secondly, we seem to be undoing all the progress we have made in addressing sexual harassment allegations in the workplace. There are POSH committees that are legally mandated in organisations and a framework that allows for a safe and secure environment for women at work. In India, the foundation for this framework was based on the Vishaka guidelines set nearly 25 years ago. In cases like this, the employer (in this case, the sports ministry) should form a committee with an independent chair who investigate these allegations and arrive at their conclusions. And it is usual that during such an investigation, it would be appropriate for the accused to step aside for a free and fair process. However, none of this process has been followed. Neither the WFI nor the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) have even acknowledged taking up these allegations. In fact, P.T. Usha, the current chief of IOA and a track legend initially dismissed them as false and an attempt to tarnish our nation's image. We are back in the territory of ghar ki izzat, and the patriarchal attitudes where raising such concerns are seen as bringing dishonour to one's family or damaging a country's reputation. It is concerning that even government officials are not adhering to their own established guidelines. The response to the protests by both the sporting fraternity and the general public has been surprising. Despite the police manhandling of these athletes, very few voices have come out in support of them, with notable exceptions like Abhinav Bindra and Sania Mirza. Even their anodyne statements hoping that the athletes are given their due and that proper investigations take place seems like an act of courage. The 1983 cricket World Cup winning team, too, came out with a statement expressing anguish at the treatment of the athletes and hoping for a resolution. I'm not sure what resolution they are expecting in a case that should be picked up by the police and investigated with rigour. Quite disconcertingly, although to the surprise of no one, the usual set of partisans and news anchors have questioned the motives behind these protests. The usual whataboutery season is on in the TV debates, and the WhatsApp universities are busy generating content blaming the victims or distracting us with Rahul Gandhi's US visit. It is a textbook case of a society losing its moral compass today while romanticising its glorious past and its superiority as a civilisation. In a society where many underprivileged children pursue sports as a means to improve their lives, the exploitation by administrators and coaches within the system should be a matter of great concern. Despite this reality, political affiliations and a belief that our leader can do no wrong is now trumping reason. We now have a situation where there are people questioning the legal process put in place for sexual harassment complaints that apparently favour the woman victims' rights to fight their case. This mindset risks undoing the progress made towards providing safe working environments for women. We are happy to go down the path of victim blaming and gaslighting than hold men in power accountable. This in a country where crime against women is still among the highest in the world and that has one of the lowest female participation rates in labor worldwide. So, why is the government reluctant to act against Singh? Based on the track record of how it has handled previous protests, there are three possible explanations for this behaviour. One, this administration perceives admitting a mistake as a sign of weakness. They would rather make incorrect decisions than appear weak in any way. We have made this point earlier. This is the basis of its electoral appeal. That it can do no wrong. Accepting that the protesters are right will dent its strong government image. Two, there is the electoral angle to this, given we are less than a year away from the Lok Sabha polls. Brij Bhushan Singh's influence in the Ayodhya-Gonda region cannot be ignored. He or his family members have won elections there for over three decades, regardless of their party affiliation. His ability to switch allegiances while maintaining electoral success suggests a ground network that doesn't depend on a party for success. While the BJP is on a strong wicket for winning 2024, it doesn't want to risk failure, especially in U.P. This calculus might still turn if the recent mobilisation of the local Jat communities and Khap panchayats to support the wrestlers becomes stronger. This shift may transform the protest into something more politically relevant, as it happened with the farmer protests. I don't think I had imagined a day when the Khap panchayats would be seen as advocates of women's rights. But we are there. The third explanation lies in the ruling party's deeper understanding of social undercurrents, which they believe represent the silent majority's views. This covers issues like women's liberation and how India has imitated Western liberal guidelines that aren't compatible with our civilisational values. They would like to believe that a sizable portion of Indian society may support a pause on liberal issues especially relating to women's freedom. I'm not very sure if this is an accurate assessment, but it doesn't hurt to be politically ambiguous on this. At a broader level, this is also about how we see protest or dissent in these times. It is intriguing how easily people trust the state despite the weight of history against it while distrusting the protesters who have a grouse against the powerful. This is an odd inversion that seems to have arisen because our collective sense of self-worth and pride are now closely intertwined with our perception of how well the state performs. So, questioning its actions or motives can be seen as an attack on the collective self-worth. It is an almost perfect trick. India Policy Watch #2: Beyond Isomorphic Mimicry Insights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay Kotasthane“South Korea became a manufacturing and technological superpower riding on industrial policies that backed chaebols (large domestic business conglomerates), so why shouldn't India do this too?”“Technological upgradation of Chinese companies happened because of the Party-state's policies of Forced Technological Transfer, also known as ‘trade-markets-for-tech (TMFT)'. India should adopt this approach as well.”“France has banned short-haul flights to counter climate change. India should follow this lead and impose green taxes on air travel if not a full ban.”“Amsterdam has bicycle tracks and Bogota has Bus Rapid Tranist (BRT); so should Bengaluru.”I'm pretty sure you have come across similar arguments. Not just people outside the government, policymakers and career analysts can also be found making arguments of this nature. Now, it's easy to ridicule these points of view as “isomorphic mimicry”, what Andrews, Pritchett, and Woolcock define as:the tendency of governments to mimic other governments' successes, replicating processes, systems, and even products of the ‘best practice' examples… a key technique of successful failure that perpetuates capability traps in development.My instinctive response to such arguments is similar. However, I now think that we need to go one step beyond and ask, “why are we prone to committing isomorphic mimicry? What makes us seek refuge in it?” This post is an attempt to answer these questions. The fundamental reason behind such arguments is a mental model that imagines public policy as a deterministic process where heroic policies can quick-solution us out of trouble. It is this assumption that we must rethink in order to avoid isomorphic mimicry. Here's why.To begin with, we need dollops of humility. Forget quick-solutions, we don't even know all the variables that impact major public policy processes. Observe, for instance, the question of economic growth. In edition #52, RSJ explained how there's no single answer as to why countries experience a period of rapid economic growth. At best, we can identify clusters of factors such as economic freedom, political freedom or institutions, geography, and investment in human and physical capital. So is the case with innovation. Over the last few months, I tried to understand the reasons behind China's strides in innovation and technology upgradation. The more I read about it, the more it became clear that forced technology transfer, IP theft, or industrial policy alone cannot explain the transformation. At best, I could come up with the explanation that China's innovation is a combination of fundamental factors and proximate factors. The fundamental factors were: a Capable Workforce, Technology Transfers, and State Focus on Innovation. The proximate factors such as Forced Technology Transfer, IP Theft, Specific Government Policies, and Selective Protectionism have, at best, played a cameo role.So is the case with urbanisation. We have some good hypotheses about why certain sectors spatially organise into concentrated clusters, but we don't know for sure what would it take to make a successful new city. We can identify some fundamentals, but it's difficult to create a pathway.These three examples illustrate the need to adopt a different mental model to think about public policy. One such frame is complexity theory. Over the last two decades, there have been several attempts to think about public policy as a complex system. Public Policy scholar Paul Cairney explains the attributes of complex systems in these words:* A complex system is greater than the sum of its parts; those parts are interdependent – elements interact with each other, share information and combine to produce systemic behaviour.* Some attempts to influence complex systems are dampened (negative feedback) while others are amplified (positive feedback). Small actions can have large effects and large actions can have small effects.* Complex systems are particularly sensitive to initial conditions that produce a long-term momentum or ‘path dependence'.* They exhibit ‘emergence', or behaviour that results from the interaction between elements at a local level rather than central direction.* They may contain ‘strange attractors' or demonstrate extended regularities of behaviour which may be interrupted by short bursts of change. [From Paul Cairney's post on his ever-excellent blog]When applied to public policy, this complex system mental model gives us a few axioms. Policy Ingredients, not Policy Recipes The complex system lens shows us that it is futile to obsess about deriving policies using “best practices” from another country or city. It is far more important to think about preparing the initial conditions that could trigger emergent behaviour towards the desired policy goal. A government shouldn't be designing a perfect quick solution to a chronic problem, but creating conditions in which different competing solutions can emerge. In a sense, governments need to put together all the essential ingredients that go into achieving a policy goal rather than create an award-winning policy recipe. This line of thinking explains national innovation. There's no one blueprint to be found for innovation success. Countries have followed different pathways. But we know that ingredients such as reasonably high levels of human capabilities and infrastructure and strong connections with global science and technology ecosystems are common fundamental factors in innovation success.Another example comes from economic policy. Pro-market policies are about putting together key ingredients for growth take-off, while pro-business policies are equivalents of step-by-step recipes handed down to you. I used to think that finance ministers claiming “the fundamentals of our economy are strong” was a cleverly-worded evasion. But the lens of complexity would suggest that fundamentals are exactly what the government should focus on. The Idea of Probabilistic SuccessThe lens of complexity implies that governments are not as effective in achieving our goals. The best case is when governments have prepared all initial conditions for take off. But that's no guarantee for success. In the Indian context, this thinking should give us a pause before we airdrop governments as a troubleshooter for all our problems. The Merits of DecentralisationIn a complex system, it's beneficial to give agency to organisations so that they can learn from their experience and change tack in response to on-ground conditions. In this sense, complexity theory is a reaffirmation of Hayek's insight in The Use of Knowledge in Society. Individuals and, by extension, markets are in a better position to experiment and display different emergent behaviours than centrally engineered solutions from the top.Hope, not Analysis-paralysisComplexity can at once be liberating and shackling. The insight that there are no perfect policy recipes can drive us into an analysis-paralysis mode, leading to dejection and disillusionment. But the knowledge that given the right conditions, emergent behaviour can spring up unexpectedly gives a reason for hope and provides a new meaning to the shloka, “Karmanye Vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadhachana” (perform your duty but do not expect the fruits of your labour). P.S: The complexity theory mental model holds promise in public policy, but at present, there are far more questions than there are answers.India Policy Watch #3: Why this Kolaveri with Assembly?Insights on burning policy issues in India— Pranay KotasthaneI like the richness of the debate on the production-linked incentive scheme (PLI) for electronics manufacturing. Last week, economist and former RBI governor Raghuram Rajan questioned the government's self-congratulatory messages on mobile exports using these words:“.. it turns out that very little apart from assembly is done in India, though manufacturers claim that they intend to do so in the future. So, India imports much of what goes into the mobile phone, and when we correct for that, it is very hard to maintain that net exports have gone up.”Some of you readers might recollect that we have regularly critiqued the electronics PLI since its inception. Our first post about it was written in November 2020. So, it shouldn't surprise you that we agree with this recommendation:The government should undertake a detailed assessment on how many PLI jobs have been created, the cost to the country per job, and why the PLI doesn't appear to have worked so far before extending it to other sectors. That said, I have several questions about the analysis. First, I was surprised that one of the criticisms in the note is that “it is entirely possible that we have become more dependent on imports during the PLI scheme” on account of increased imports of mobile phone components for assembly in India. It is well-known that imports of sub-components will keep increasing as we scale up assembly in India for a few years until local substitutes come up, as they did in China and Vietnam. Moreover, as we wrote in edition #185, China and Viet Nam witnessed a decrease in the domestic value added per unit of demand when they began assembling mobile phones. Companies preferred to import components, assemble, and then export them. Only after their electronics exports had achieved global scale did the two countries target local content addition. And hence, we shouldn't expect quick gains in the Indian case as well. Only after the assembly in India achieves some scale will local suppliers come up. In the Apple ecosystem, for instance, the Final Assembly Testing and Packaging (FATP) units run by the likes of Foxconn are the key nodes. Once they take root, it's in their self-interest to develop a local supplier ecosystem to meet the unsparing demands of their product launch cycle.Curiously, a terrible way for governments to reduce the import of components is to raise import tariffs further, a solution that the authors of the note would vehemently disapprove of. Second, the note proposes that India should make its own chips. Manufacturing chips will help reduce the import bill, and that's where the government's semiconductor strategy comes in. However, the path to making a complicated leading-edge processor chip will perhaps take two decades. And to get there, the government would, in turn, need more PLIs and upfront capital investment in fabs. In fact, we should expect higher chip imports from China over the next decade until we have a semblance of chip manufacturing done here. Importing cheap chips from China is not a vulnerability.In sum, I don't see a rise in imports of components as an indication of the failure of the PLI, just as I don't interpret the rise in mobile phone exports alone as an unqualified success.

Global Policy Watch: Europe's WarGlobal policy issues and their implication for India— RSJThere is an energy crisis in Europe. Russia announced this week that it won't resume supplying gas to Europe via the Nord Stream 1 pipeline until the west lifts the sanctions over its invasion of Ukraine. Till last year, Russia accounted for about 45 percent of the EU's total gas imports. About a third of it flowed through Nord Stream 1. A few months back Russia halted supply via Nord Stream citing maintenance concerns. At least there was a pretense. Now the gloves are off. The weaponising of energy is complete. That apart you may have heard of this being the hottest summer in Europe in living memory. The rivers have run dry and hydel power generation is at an all-time low. The crisis is real. How bad is it? Well, if you go by estimates an average European household might end up spending over €500/month by March next year on their energy bill. This number was around  €160-170 /month a year back. This will mean an aggregated annual increase in energy spends in EU of about €2 tn. To put this in perspective, the total GDP of the member states is around €14 tn. No economy can take such a price surge in its stride, more so, when the inflation is already running at a multi-decadal high. Typically, they could do a few things to manage this. One option is to cap the prices of imported gas from Russia. The other is for the governments to absorb these price increases and lighten the burden for the people. The last option is to reduce demand by imposing rationing measures on people. The long term option is to move to renewables but that's not going to help anyone during this winter.  The idea of capping imported gas prices seems the easiest. Of course, price caps distort markets and will lead to other unintended consequences but you have to choose the lesser devil in scenarios like these. Except any price cap on Russian gas will mean you will have to deal with the wrath of Putin. On Wednesday, he gave EU leaders a peek into how he sees any attempt by the EU to impose a price cap. As CNBC reported:Responding to EU proposals to implement price caps on Russian energy imports, Putin told business leaders in Vladivostok that Russia could yet decide to rip up existing supply contracts.“Will there be any political decisions that contradict the contracts? Yes, we just won't fulfill them. We will not supply anything at all if it contradicts our interests,” Putin said at the Eastern Economic Forum in Russia's far east.“We will not supply gas, oil, coal, heating oil — we will not supply anything.”“We would only have one thing left to do: as in the famous Russian fairy tale, we would let the wolf's tail freeze. Freeze, freeze, the wolf's tail,” he said.Hmm. So, what's this famous Russian fairy tale about a tail? The good, ol' Pravda came to the rescue here:In the tale, the cunning fox made the stupid wolf catch fish in the frozen river by putting his tail into an ice hole. The fox would hop around the desperate and hungry wolf saying "freeze, freeze, the wolf's tail" until the ice hole froze trapping the wolf in the ice. Men from the village then came and beat the wolf for all the bad things that he had done to them in summer. The wolf struggled and escaped, but his tail was left in the frozen ice hole.I read that a few times to get my head around the fairy tale. It didn't make any sense given the context. I guess Putin wanted to give some folksy spin to his threat of freezing Europe this winter. Maybe Russians enjoyed that. Anyway, the upshot of this threat was visible in the meeting of the EU ministers on Friday that was convened to discuss the energy crisis. The ministers deferred the proposal to cap price agreeing that it needed more work and deliberation. Also, there was no real proposal to force a reduction in demand among the member countries. There is a voluntary pledge of cutting it by 15 percent but that might neither be enforced nor be adequate. I guess the price surge, if allowed, will eventually bring down the demand but which politician will want that scenario to be played out? That leaves the option of a combination of rationing for industries (less politically sensitive) and government subsidies to manage the pain for people. That's what different governments have been doing. France, as NYT reports, has asked businesses to appoint an ‘ambassador of energy sobriety' while spending over €26 billion since the Ukraine war to keep gas prices in check. Further:Germany, Europe's biggest user of Russian gas, reversed plans on Monday to shut down two of its three remaining nuclear power plants by the end of the year, and on Sunday announced a $65 billion aid package to ease the burden of high energy costs on citizens. Italy is looking to Algeria as a potential new supplier of natural gas to replace Russian fuel. In Spain, the government has begun a huge effort to improve energy efficiency in buildings and in industry.Also, it is not as if the utility companies are making money hand over fist at this time. All utilities companies use derivatives available on utility exchanges to protect themselves from price swings. Typically, they lock in a price for the future to guard themselves against price falling. When prices surge, like they have now, they cannot cancel these derivatives and this leads to huge losses at least on paper. Eventually, if the prices remain elevated and the derivatives contracts run out (usually 6-9 months), the utilities will make a windfall. But till then the exchanges are at risk that the utilities will not be able to honour their derivatives contracts. So, the exchanges will demand that utilities give them cash collaterals for such an eventuality. What could be the size of such collaterals put together? A reasonable estimate is about €1.5 trillion. There is no way that utilities are sitting on that kind of working capital to stump up this collateral. For the markets to function efficiently and to avoid a Lehmann-like contagion, some solution has to be found. One is to cap the price and prevent further paper losses. But Putin has closed that option. Eventually, the governments will have to step in as the back stop. There's a lot of heavy lifting the governments have to do. It will further raise their debt burden that's already at their peak after the spending spree during the pandemic. The taxpayers will have to foot the bill; one way or the other. I don't know about you but it doesn't seem to me there are any good options left for Europe in the short run. Some kind of a structural solution can be worked out where the tariff deficit is allowed to be spread over a longer term, thus allowing the utility companies to securitize these future revenues. It is easier said than done though. The other scenario is for EU members to agree on price caps, Putin's wrath notwithstanding. This will happen because humouring Putin isn't a long term solution. That apart, there could be some forcible demand reduction, then a hope for a milder than usual winter and a scenario where there's an increase in supply from the Middle-East and the US because of the likely move away to Russian oil and gas by China and India. A combination of all of these could help Europe tide this crisis over. It isn't going to be easy at all. Europe's winter of discontent has begun. And it could be a long one. Meanwhile, Europe isn't alone in the energy crisis. Here's the Washington Post on China:Amid the most intense global heat wave in decades, China experienced another electricity crisis this summer. Ten months after surging coal prices drove widespread curbs on power consumption, parts of central and eastern China had to ration power after months of drought and scorching heat.This year's heat wave across central and eastern China ran for more than 70 days, the country's longest stretch since such record keeping began in 1961. Rainfall dropped more than 45 percent across the Yangtze River basin, which supplies water to more than 400 million people.Supply constraints, in turn, forced severe restrictions on power use in Sichuan and other provinces that tap into Sichuan's power. Sichuan authorities imposed comprehensive restrictions on industrial power consumption starting Aug. 15, while neighboring Chongqing, a provincial-level municipality with a population of 32 million, introduced similar cuts two days later. Additional restrictions for commercial spaces and households meant limited access to cooling, even when daytime highs exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit.And China's short term response won't be music to the ears of the climate warriors:Authorities are likely to respond by expanding their alternatives to hydropower. This may well include building more coal-fired power plants, which are responsible for roughly 40 percent of China's carbon emissions. The 2021 crisis saw the same response; provincial coal-fired power plant approvals rose almost 50 percent year on year in the first half of 2022 as the central leadership stressed the importance of “energy security.”Thankfully, India has seen through its summer months before the global energy crisis has come to a head. The global demand for coal has surged as countries have been forced to hark back to thermal power plants to meet their energy needs. Almost 70 percent of electricity generation in India is from thermal power plants. The domestic supply of coal isn't going to be enough and Indian companies will need to stockpile more for future security. This is an area to keep an eye on while looking at the macroeconomic indicators for India that otherwise look benign in a troubled world.  Not(PolicyWTF): No Exports Without ImportsThis section looks at egregious public policies. Policies that make you go: WTF, Did that really happen? - Pranay KotasthaneIf one were to make a word cloud of our editions, the term “import substitution” would appear right in the centre, in angry red colour. On many occasions, we have highlighted that high import tariffs and Production Linked incentives (PLIs) are at cross purposes. The tariffs end up increasing input costs to such an extent that it negates the monetary benefits of PLI schemes. The result is that manufacturing in India remains as uncompetitive as it was earlier, despite the government providing significant financial incentives. Given our abhorrence for higher tariff barriers, it was a welcome surprise that the Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology released an excellent report on August 29th, which has empirical evidence on the importance of trade for creating a domestic electronics industry.The report, titled Globalise to Localise: Exporting at Scale and Deepening the Ecosystem are Vital to Higher Domestic Value Addition in Electronics, is written by trade economists from Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER). It makes a crucial point that should interest anyone interested in Indian public policy: India must first globalise and only then localise if it aspires to be a global production and export hub for electronics. I guess this recommendation would hold to a large extent in other sectors as well.But let's get back to electronics. The report highlights that both Viet Nam and India exported the same value of electronics items in 2010. But by 2020, Viet Nam's electronics exports had become seven times that of India's. What just happened? The report argues that the reason could be the difference in trade strategies followed by Viet Nam and China on one hand, and by India on the other. The difference is this. Indian governments have pursued a strategy of simultaneously increasing electronics exports and boosting domestic value addition per unit of total demand. For increasing exports, governments used tax rebates and built special economic zones. For boosting domestic value addition, governments deployed higher custom duties for components, and local sourcing norms for public procurement. In contrast, both Viet Nam and China focused on growing their exports at scale first. At first, this led to a decrease in the domestic value added per unit of demand. This is because companies preferred to import components, assemble, and then export them. Only after electronics exports had achieved global scale did the two countries target local content addition. That too, through instruments such as sourcing fairs and technology upgradation programmes, instead of erecting trade barriers. Over time, not only did the exports continue growing, but also a competitive components industry mushroomed. Hence the report suggests that India too should first globalise and then localise. The comparative analysis in the paper is illuminating. I'll leave you with the recommendations chart, which has specific ideas for putting this strategy into effect. From a political economy viewpoint, it's interesting that the electronics ministry unveiled this report. I hope that it suggests that the government is willing to reconsider its strategy of high custom duties for domestic value addition. To become a global manufacturing hub, we need to internalise that import substitution is self-defeating.PS: This report's analysis also makes for an excellent public policy teaching resource.India Policy Watch: Kaun Kitne Paani Mein?Insights on topical policy issues in India— RSJThis week Bangalore had rains. Tip tip barsaa paani. And paani ne aag lagaa di. Pictures of streets of Bangalore looking like a river in spate with high-end luxury cars drowning in them made the rounds. The poor took the usual brunt. The familiar lament of lack of urban planning, the venality of municipal corporations in big cities and the apathy of citizens soon followed. Such flooding is a common phenomenon now even in cities that don't have a history of heavy rainfall. Over the past few years, there have been similar pictures from Chennai, Hyderabad and Pune.  There are four factors at play here. First, there's climate change. It could mean different things to different people. But let's accept short bursts of intense and often unseasonal rainfall is a thing now in many parts of India and the world. It didn't happen this often in the past. So, expect flooding when you get more than 150 mm of rainfall in under 3 hours in a densely populated urban landscape like it happened in Bangalore this week.. Second, urbanisation is good for India and it will only gather more pace. Cities provide network benefits, greater opportunities and they help diffuse historical identities that get in the way of social mobility. New cities or satellite towns cannot be planned and developed top down like many policy makers think when they announce such plans. So, there's no point arguing for reducing the burden of a large city by proposing a plan to ‘develop' new cities. A city emerges organically on the back of the millions of individual transactions that continue growing because of network effects. You cannot control them though you can anticipate their growth and plan to manage it. That planning is totally absent in India. The numerous cases of lake beds and natural reservoirs being usurped for construction, the lack of any thinking about the topography of a location and the flow of water in it before allowing for buildings to come up and consistent reduction in green cover - all of these mean there's nowhere for water to go except flood homes and then stand still till it is pumped out. That brings me to the third point. The way the political economy is structured right now, it is difficult to see how there will be enough devolution of power and finances to a city. A big city most often is a bankrupt political orphan in India. It doesn't look like changing any time soon. And lastly, you have to ask how long will citizens remain stoic and manage their lives through these great difficulties? Should we beware the fury of the patient? Among these four, I don't foresee any correction of course for the first three factors. They will continue in the same vein. That leaves only the citizen. She will have no choice but to accept these as inevitable and then find private solutions to what are public problems. These solutions will tend to be locally optimal but suboptimal for the whole. The numerous gated communities that try doing this are examples of this. You can live in a gated republic and keep the state away. But nature is a different ballgame. It doesn't care for your gates. Things will only get worse for citizens. Will there be a tipping point, I often ask myself? I don't think so. People will grin and bear it. And then forget it.Resilience of the people is the timeless safeguard against a revolution. Matsyanyaaya: Chip Trouble Big fish eating small fish = Foreign Policy in action— Pranay KotasthaneIn a Politico article earlier this week, the authors explain Russia's desperate attempts to get hold of some pretty basic integrated circuits (chips) for military equipment. This news comes closely after the delays in delivering frigates to Indian Navy. The Indian government would do well to keep a close eye on these developments.Regardless of Russia's intent, its defence production competence has been set back many years because of the coordinates sanctions. This means India should develop contingency plans for all pending military platform deliveries from Russia.Russia doesn't have reliable semiconductor manufacturing facilities of its own. We should expect that it will try to get hold of these legacy-node chips through the black market. We should also expect that some Chinese foundries like SMIC might come to Russia's rescue. In either case, it has the same lesson for India - Russia's ability to deliver secure military platforms to India has taken a big hit. We should seek other alternatives.HomeWorkReading and listening recommendations on public policy matters[Article] This post by Hannah Ritchie on effective but counter-intuitive ideas on climate change action is gold.[Book] This excellent book, Global Value Chains and the Missing Links Cases from Indian Industry by Saon Ray and Smita Miglani[Article] S Vishwanath has the most informative article on the Bengaluru floods.

Más allá de ser una de las mejores bailarinas del siglo XX, Maya Plisétskaya es un emblema de la danza clásica. Destacó en los escenarios de todo el mundo, pero siempre mantuvo un especial vínculo con España. Maya desde joven se sintió atraída por la cultura española y, tras haber bailado con éxito gran parte del repertorio clásico, comienza a acercarse a nuestro país a través del papel de Carmen. El fuerte carácter de la joven cigarrera andaluza curiosamente se adaptaba a la perfección a su decidida personalidad rusa. Fue directora del Ballet del Teatro Lírico Nacional -la actual Compañía Nacional de Danza- de 1987 a 1990. Su paso por esta institución, junto a su hermano Azari Plisetsky, fue determinante para consolidar la danza clásica en España. Además, obtuvo el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de Las Artes en 2005 junto a Tamara Rojo. Pero sería en 1993 cuando tuvo una de sus mayores alegrías al obtener la nacionalidad española. Maya Plisétskaya había nacido en el Moscú de 1925, en el seno de una familia de origen judío y su infancia no fue fácil. Siendo pequeña vivió en sus propias carnes el terror estalinista. Fusilaron a su padre cuando ella tenía 11 años y su madre y su hermano pequeño fueron deportados al Gulag en Kazajstán. La pequeña Maya fue adoptada por una tía suya que era primera bailarina en el Bolshoi, lo que le permitió mantener los estudios de danza que ya había iniciado en su escuela. Entra oficialmente en el ballet del Bolshoi con 18 años y pronto es nombrada primera bailarina, la única en lograrlo a una edad tan temprana. Con dos obras emblemáticas, El Lago de los Cisnes y La Muerte del Cisne, Maya definirá el conocido Estilo Plisétskaya: manos, caídas, codos de cisne, cabeza erguida, torso inclinado hacia atrás… ejecutado con la máxima perfección técnica y delicada sutileza. Su marido, el compositor Rodion Shchedrín contribuyó a su fama con la creación de cuatro ballets para ella, además de Carmen Suite. El Caballito Jorobado, Anna Karenina, La gaviota y La dama del Perrito. Maya era la dominadora de la escena del Bolshoi y en ella se sentía libre. En sus figuras y vuelos gozaba de la libertad que la represión estalinista cercenaba en el país. Pero a pesar de los vetos para que no saliera de la URSS, Maya triunfó en todo el mundo. Estados Unidos, Francia, Inglaterra...su éxito no conoció fronteras. El documental, con guion de Olga Baeza, cuenta con la participación de su hermano pequeño, el coreógrafo y maestro de ballet, Azari Plisetsky; su amigo y director de danza, Ricardo Cué; su pareja en el Teatro Lírico Nacional, Ricardo Franco; la también bailarina, Arantxa Argülles, que creció junto a Maya; José Manuel Garrido, director del INAEM entre 1985 y 1989, artífice de su llegada a España. También cuenta con las intervenciones de Tamara Rojo, que recibió el Premio Príncipe de Asturias de Las Artes junto a Maya; e Igor Yebra, que bailó en la gala homenaje que le rindió el Bolshoi en su 75 aniversario. Asimismo, el programa agradece la labor en las intervenciones en ruso de la pianista ucraniana Victoria Glushenko; y la de Alicia de la Cruz de Imprescindibles de TVE en el testimonio de Tamara Rojo.
