Podcasts about political relations

In light of recent tensions between Israel and Iran, as well as the involvement of global superpower the United States, academics have raised concerns about nuclear proliferation and its consequences in the Middle East as well as on a global stage.  As the need for nuclear deterrence is critical, the latest exchange of attacks between involved parties risks escalating conflict in the region and presents an urgent challenge for diplomatic relationships to diffuse the situation. Producer Sara spoke to University of Auckland International and Political Relations doctoral student Tom Wilkinson about this topic, including the risk of nuclear proliferation in the region. She began by asking him to explain the recent events between Israel and Iran in the broader context of global militarisation and history of nuclear armament.

China's burgeoning relationship with the African continent has been characterized by significant economic investment, trade, and infrastructure development, with China emerging as Africa's largest trading partner and a major player in the continent's evolving economic landscape. In recent years, we have seen an influx of Chinese involvement in African industries ranging from mining and construction to manufacturing and retail. This has been accompanied by an ambitious drive to develop Africa's infrastructure with projects that span roads, railways, ports, airports, and telecommunications networks. But the ties between China and Africa extend far beyond economics. We're witnessing a dynamic cultural exchange, burgeoning diplomatic activities, and even aid and military support. However, these activities have not been without controversy, igniting debates over so-called debt-trap diplomacy and resource exploitation.Joshua Eisenman is an Associate Professor of Politics in the Keough School of Global Affairs at the University of Notre Dame.

The World Bank has described Lebanon's current state as the worst financial crisis in 150 years. Since 2019 the Lebanese pound has lost 90 percent of its value and more than half the population lives below the poverty line. The government raised the price of fuel in an attempt to stem crippling shortages, but all it seems to have done is further anger a population that has already run out of patience. Guests: Mustafa Allouch Vice President of the Future Movement Ahmed al Assi Secretary of Political Relations for the Opposition Party Citizens in a State.

Episode 95 is a special Chiefs Panel on political relations in New Brunswick. From police killings of First Nations people during the pandemic; the province’s refusal to hold an inquiry into anti-First Nation racism; the RCMP raid on reserve-based businesses and now to the province’s cancellation of First Nation tax agreements – the relationship seems to be moving in the wrong direction. I had the honour of hosting Chiefs from NB representing First Nations from both the Mi’kmaw and Wolastoqey Nations: Sakom Chief Allan Polchies Jr., has been Chief of St. Mary’s First Nation in Fredericton, since 2018. Before that he served as Councillor for 13 years and has always been super involved at the community level. His First Nation is part of the larger Wolastoqey Nation. Twitter = chiefallanjr Website: https://www.stmarysfirstnation.com/​ Chief Patricia (Trish) Bernard has been Chief of Madawaska Maliseet First Nation since 2013. Before that, she served as Councillor for 6 years and was also called to the NB Bar in 2000. Her First Nation is also part of the larger Wolastoqey First Nation. Facebook = Trish Bernard Website: https://madawaskamaliseetfirstnation.com/en Chief Sacha LaBillois has been Chief of Ugpi’ganjig – also known as Eel River Bar First Nation – since 2019 and before that also served as a councillor and worked on economic development. Chief Sacha is also my chief! Our First Nation is part of the larger Mi’kmaw Nation. Facebook: Sacha LaBillois Website: https://www.ugpi-ganjig.ca/​ Chief Bill Ward has served as Chief of Metepengiag – also known Red Bank – since 2015. On Twitter, he describes himself as not only the youngest Chief in the Atlantic region, but the coolest. His First Nation is also part of the larger Mi’kmaw Nation.

The deal brings to four the number of Arab nations who have normalised diplomatic relations with Israel. It was a triumph for Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and for US President Donald Trump, both of whom have pushed for Middle East agreements that don’t include the Palestinians, but is it likely to lead to bring peace to the region?

Sally Cosgrove is joined by Andrew Gray, PwC's Brexit leader and Anna Wallace, Director of Political Relations to discuss the potential impact the recently announced transition agreement will have on business and what organisations now need to prioritise in their Brexit planning.

There’s a lot of noise building around the challenging conditions for the Chancellor.

Barry Murphy, Partner at PwC discusses with Stella Amiss, Head of Tax Policy and Anna Wallace, Head of Political Relations at PwC.
