The Philippines is facing widespread public outrage as nepo babies, the children of politicians and contractors, flaunt luxury lifestyles while the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) has come under scrutiny for flood control projects plagued by corruption, ghost projects, and substandard work. These projects, intended to protect communities from devastating floods, have allegedly diverted billions in public funds, leaving ordinary citizens vulnerable to natural disasters. Social media has amplified the outrage, drawing attention to the stark contrast between the extravagant lives of the families involved and the struggles of Filipinos who continue to suffer from inadequate infrastructure and systemic mismanagement. On The Big Story, Hongbin Jeong speaks to Aries Arugay, Professor & Chair, Department of Political Science, University of the Philippines Diliman, to find out more.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

China has unveiled a three-year action plan to optimize the layout and structure of academic disciplines in higher education institutions, aiming to better support the country's high-quality development and strategic needs.中国公布了一项为期三年的行动计划，优化高等教育机构学科布局和结构，旨在更好地支持国家的高质量发展和战略需求。The plan, covering the period from 2025 to 2027, was issued by the Communist Party of China Central Committee's leading group for education. It calls for the rapid establishment of disciplines targeting strategic emerging industries and future industries.该计划涵盖2025年至2027年，由中国共产党中央委员会教育领导小组发布。它呼吁迅速建立针对战略性新兴产业和未来产业的学科。It also highlights the creation of a national big data platform to align talent supply and demand. The management of discipline catalogs will be overhauled with shorter adjustment cycles and better coordination among postgraduate, undergraduate and vocational disciplines.它还强调了建立一个国家大数据平台，以协调人才供需。学科目录管理将进行彻底改革，缩短调整周期，更好地协调研究生、本科生和职业学科。The plan supports the development of basic, applied and strategic disciplines; reforms evaluation mechanisms to strengthen the central role of talent cultivation; and improves incentive measures to continuously optimize discipline structures. It stresses enhancing fundamental disciplines and incubating emerging and interdisciplinary disciplines.该计划支持基础、应用和战略学科的发展；改革评价机制，强化人才培养的中心作用；完善激励措施，不断优化学科结构。它强调加强基础学科，孵化新兴和跨学科学科。Existing disciplines will be adjusted through warnings and corrective measures for those with insufficient social demand, declining education quality or inadequate resources. Teaching content will also be updated, and artificial intelligence will be applied to empower education and teaching.对于社会需求不足、教育质量下降或资源不足的学生，将通过警告和纠正措施对现有学科进行调整。教学内容也将更新，人工智能将被应用于增强教育和教学能力。A guideline issued by the Ministry of Education and four other departments in 2023 set a target to optimize and adjust 20 percent of university majors by 2025 to cultivate new majors aligned with new technologies, industries and models.教育部和其他四个部门于2023年发布的一项指导方针设定了到2025年优化和调整20%的大学专业的目标，以培养与新技术、新产业和新模式相一致的新专业。In its latest round of changes announced in April, universities nationwide added 1,839 new undergraduate programs for 2025 while suspending enrollment in 2,220 programs and phasing out 1,428 others. By contrast, only 57 majors were adjusted in 2014, underscoring the acceleration of change in recent years.在4月份宣布的最新一轮改革中，全国各地的大学在2025年增加了1839个新的本科课程，同时暂停了2220个课程的招生，并逐步淘汰了1428个其他课程。相比之下，2014年只有57个专业进行了调整，突显出近年来变化的加速。An official with the ministry's department of higher education said a "green channel" mechanism has been created to allow immediate approval of disciplines linked to the nation's latest strategic priorities, bypassing the usual application requirements. Universities with adequate capacity and resources are guided to conduct feasibility studies and prepare for the establishment of such new majors, the official said.教育部高等教育司的一名官员表示，已经建立了一个“绿色通道”机制，可以绕过通常的申请要求，立即批准与国家最新战略优先事项相关的学科。该官员表示，将指导有足够能力和资源的大学进行可行性研究，并为设立此类新专业做准备。In September 2024, for example, six universities, including Beihang University, were guided by the ministry outside the normal application period to establish a low-altitude technology and engineering major to meet the rapid development needs of the low-altitude economy, he said.他说，例如，2024年9月，包括北京航空航天大学在内的六所大学在正常申请期之外接受了教育部的指导，开设了低空技术与工程专业，以满足低空经济的快速发展需求。A total of 120 universities are preparing to add the low-altitude technology and engineering major in 2026, and it is expected to be one of the most popular academic subjects when launched, according to the ministry's application list.根据教育部的申请清单，共有120所大学准备在2026年增加低空技术与工程专业，预计该专业在推出时将成为最受欢迎的学术科目之一。The Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications has introduced more than 10 interdisciplinary majors in recent years, including artificial intelligence, spatial information and digital technology, intelligent interaction design and intelligent medical engineering, according to Huang Zhitong, deputy director of the academic affairs office of the university.据北京邮电大学教务处副主任黄志彤介绍，近年来，该校引入了10多个跨学科专业，包括人工智能、空间信息与数字技术、智能交互设计和智能医疗工程。In 2024, the university reorganized and established the School of Intelligent Engineering and Automation, adding an undergraduate program in robotics engineering. Earlier this year, it added the low-altitude technology and engineering major and launched six micro-majors, including 6G mobile communications, intelligent robotics and advanced electronics, Huang said.2024年，该大学重组并成立了智能工程与自动化学院，增加了机器人工程本科课程。黄说，今年早些时候，该校增加了低空技术与工程专业，并开设了6G移动通信、智能机器人和先进电子等六个微型专业。The university has also explored integrated development paths for liberal arts through "information +", "digital+" and "artificial intelligence +" educational programs, promoting the construction of new liberal arts specialties under the concept of interdisciplinary integration, he added.他补充说，该大学还通过“信息+”、“数字+”和“人工智能+”教育项目探索了文科的综合发展道路，在跨学科融合的理念下促进了新文科专业的建设。Since 2023, it has collaborated with Beijing Film Academy, the University of International Business and Economics, and China University of Political Science and Law to launch five joint bachelor's degree programs, including "digital media technology + digital media art", "artificial intelligence+ financial technology", and "computer science and technology + accounting". Through such cooperation, Huang said, the university aims to cultivate interdisciplinary and top-tier innovative talent.自2023年以来，它与北京电影学院、对外经济贸易大学和中国政法大学合作，推出了五个联合学士学位课程，包括“数字媒体技术+数字媒体艺术”、“人工智能+金融技术”和“计算机科学技术+会计”。黄说，通过这种合作，该大学旨在培养跨学科和顶尖的创新人才。overhauln.检修/ˈəʊvəhɔːl/low-altituden.低空/loʊˈæltɪtjuːd/

Steve Luxenberg has created an unusual history of the famous Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson and the 19th century's segregationist practices in his book Separate: The Story of Plessy v. Ferguson, and America's Journey from Slavery to Segregation (Norton, 2019)  It is unusual because it is chiefly an ensemble biography of Henry Brown, John Marshall Harlan, and Albion Tourgee, three men intimately connected with the Plessy case.  The book covers the Antebellum period youth of the three men, each from a different part of the young nation and each encountering freedmen, slaves, and the institution of slavery in different social and political contexts.  We follow these men through the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the post-Reconstruction period leading up to the Plessy decision.  The Plessy case helped solidify official, state-enforced segregationist practices throughout the United States.  It made the now-infamous phrase “separate but equal” a constitutional doctrine that was the law of the land until the 1950s and 1960s.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is John Dinsmore, PhD. Fear of failure can be a powerful motivator. John never intended to become a marketing expert. During college and beyond John was in a rock band called "Fried Moose." He tells us that, at the time, he was so afraid of letting his bandmates and family members down as he pursued a career in music that he threw himself into band promotion and merchandising. That fear-driven hustle accidentally built the exact skills that would later land John his first marketing job and eventually make him a professor who is focused on financial decision-making. John Dinsmore is a Professor of Marketing at Wright State University in Dayton, Ohio and author of The Marketing of Debt: How They Get You. He is regularly featured in publications such as Forbes, CIO, CBS Marketwatch and US News & World Report for his market commentary and is a frequent conference speaker at organizations such as the American Marketing Association and the Association for Consumer Research. At Wright State, Professor Dinsmore teaches a variety of courses including Digital Marketing, Strategy and Creativity & Problem-Solving, garnering multiple teaching awards. He has provided executive training services to the United States Air Force and Speedway Corporation. His academic research primarily focuses on financial decision-making, methods of payment, and mobile applications, having been published in academic journals including Psychology & Marketing, Journal of Business Research and International Journal of Research in Marketing.  He also recently wrote a chapter for the Handbook of Experimental Finance. Dinsmore has published business cases designated at “Best Sellers” by Harvard Publishing focusing on strategy and analytics. These cases are taught in MBA programs across North America, Europe, Asia, and South America at institutions such as University of Chicago, Peking University, and King's College. This Fall, he will be a featured speaker at TEDx-Dayton to discuss his research on financial decision-making. Prior to earning his PhD, John Dinsmore worked in the marketing industry for 14 years in various roles. Dinsmore holds a BA in Political Science from James Madison University, an MBA in Marketing & Finance from University of Georgia, and a PhD in Marketing from University of Cincinnati. He lives in Dayton, Ohio with his wife, two sons, and a gigantic bulldog named Creed.

The vast majority of the world's countries are experiencing a demographic revolution: dramatic, sustained, and likely irreversible population aging. States' median ages are steadily increasing as the number of people ages 65 and older skyrockets. Analysts and policymakers frequently decry population aging's domestic costs, especially likely slowing economic growth and massive new public expenditures for elderly welfare. But aging has a major yet largely unrecognized international benefit: it significantly reduces the likelihood of international war. Although wars continue to rage in parts of the world, almost none involve aged countries. This book provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking argument why population aging will be a powerful force for peace. Aging will significantly reduce states' military capabilities available for war while also boosting leaders' and citizens' preferences for peaceful foreign policies. At the same time, the effects of aging will help prevent the emergence of a power transition between the United States and China, which would be a development that is particularly likely to devolve into armed hostilities. If an aged country does initiate war, the effects of aging will create major barriers to military success. The more aging reduces the probability of victory, the greater the disincentives to aggressing. Detailed case studies show how aging has affected the capabilities and preferences in Japan, China, the United States, and Russia. Guest: Mark L.

The vast majority of the world's countries are experiencing a demographic revolution: dramatic, sustained, and likely irreversible population aging. States' median ages are steadily increasing as the number of people ages 65 and older skyrockets. Analysts and policymakers frequently decry population aging's domestic costs, especially likely slowing economic growth and massive new public expenditures for elderly welfare. But aging has a major yet largely unrecognized international benefit: it significantly reduces the likelihood of international war. Although wars continue to rage in parts of the world, almost none involve aged countries. This book provides a comprehensive and groundbreaking argument why population aging will be a powerful force for peace. Aging will significantly reduce states' military capabilities available for war while also boosting leaders' and citizens' preferences for peaceful foreign policies. At the same time, the effects of aging will help prevent the emergence of a power transition between the United States and China, which would be a development that is particularly likely to devolve into armed hostilities. If an aged country does initiate war, the effects of aging will create major barriers to military success. The more aging reduces the probability of victory, the greater the disincentives to aggressing. Detailed case studies show how aging has affected the capabilities and preferences in Japan, China, the United States, and Russia. Guest: Mark L.

In this episode of my podcast, The Global Agora, Niklas Harring, Associate Professor at the Department of Political Science at the University of Gothenburg, discusses the complex relationship between public concern over climate change and actual support for climate policies. While surveys consistently show that Europeans overwhelmingly view climate change as a serious threat and support ambitious climate goals, there remains a striking gap between this concern and acceptance of concrete measures such as carbon pricing or the removal of fossil fuel subsidies. Harring explains why fairness perceptions and political leadership are key to bridging this gap, how public experiences of climate impacts shape attitudes, and why hope and effective communication are essential for sustaining climate action in democratic societies. And what does he think about Greta Thunberg, and about the effect of the Donald Trump administration's actions on fighting climate change? Listen to our conversation.

It’s estimated that more than 300,000 Black women have left the workforce. Federal layoffs, budget cuts, and diversity, equity, and inclusion rollbacks are among the many contributing factors. While July data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics shows an overall national unemployment rate of 4.2%, that number rose to 6.3% for Black women—the highest it’s been since October 2021. For a special edition of “Closer Look,” Rose talks with several guests about the unfolding unemployment shift, as well as advice for landing new employment opportunities. Guests include: Dr. Pearl Dowe, the Asa Griggs Candler Professor of Political Science and African American Studies at Emory University Amber Cabral, the founder of the diversity, equity, and inclusive leadership-focused consulting firm, Cabral Co.

Despite the statement by the Prime Minister’s office indicating Israel's willingness to reduce IDF presence in southern Lebanon if Beirut takes real steps to disarm Hezbollah, there is no pledge by Israel to actually remove its military deployment in Lebanon. This, according to Gerald Steinberg, professor emeritus of Political Science at Bar Illan University. He told reporter Arieh O’Sullivan that changes in Lebanon and Syria - which is seeking its own security arrangement with Israel - were positive developments resulting from the blow to Iran’s “ring of fire.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Steve Luxenberg has created an unusual history of the famous Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson and the 19th century's segregationist practices in his book Separate: The Story of Plessy v. Ferguson, and America's Journey from Slavery to Segregation (Norton, 2019)  It is unusual because it is chiefly an ensemble biography of Henry Brown, John Marshall Harlan, and Albion Tourgee, three men intimately connected with the Plessy case.  The book covers the Antebellum period youth of the three men, each from a different part of the young nation and each encountering freedmen, slaves, and the institution of slavery in different social and political contexts.  We follow these men through the Civil War, Reconstruction, and the post-Reconstruction period leading up to the Plessy decision.  The Plessy case helped solidify official, state-enforced segregationist practices throughout the United States.  It made the now-infamous phrase “separate but equal” a constitutional doctrine that was the law of the land until the 1950s and 1960s. Ian J. Drake is an Associate Professor of Political Science and Law at Montclair State University. His scholarly interests include American legal and constitutional history and political theory.

Revolution and Dictatorship: The Violent Origins of Durable Authoritarianism (Princeton UP, 2022) explores why dictatorships born of social revolution—such as those in China, Cuba, Iran, the Soviet Union, and Vietnam—are extraordinarily durable, even in the face of economic crisis, large-scale policy failure, mass discontent, and intense external pressure. Few other modern autocracies have survived in the face of such extreme challenges. Drawing on comparative historical analysis, Steven Levitsky and Lucan Way argue that radical efforts to transform the social and geopolitical order trigger intense counterrevolutionary conflict, which initially threatens regime survival, but ultimately fosters the unity and state-building that supports authoritarianism. Steven Levitsky is the David Rockefeller Professor of Latin American Studies and Professor of Government at Harvard University. Lucan Way is a professor of Political Science at the University of Toronto, where he co-directs the Petro Jacyk Program for the Study of Ukraine.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Hour 2: 4:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Cracker Barrel changing its logo, Donald Trump vowing to eliminate “woke” from the Smithsonian museums, and the history of progressivism. Plus, should Rich and Dr. Reilly write a book together? 4:40pm- While appearing on Fox Business, FBI Director Kash Patel said of the raid on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in 2022 by Biden's Justice Department: "There was no predicate to go and invade his home—and we have answered that definitively." 4:50pm- During an interview on Thursday, President Donald Trump revealed he'll do a ride along through Washington D.C. with police and military tonight.

The Rich Zeoli Show- Full Show (08/21/2025): 3:05pm- Last year, New York Judge Arthur F. Engoron found that Donald Trump inflated the value of assets controlled by the Trump Organization in past financial statements. With no jury, Judge Engoron unilaterally chose to fine Trump $500 million and barred him from conducting business in New York for three years. Notably, in 2018, while campaigning to become New York Attorney General, Letitia James vowed to “sue” Trump and routinely spoke of how she would like to see him imprisoned—providing evidence to the defense's legal argument that this civil suit is entirely political. Trump's legal team appealed the decision—and now, a New York Appeals Court has thrown out the half-billion-dollar judgement. In his opinion, Justice Peter Moulton wrote: “While harm certainly occurred, it was not the cataclysmic harm that can justify a nearly half billion-dollar award to the State.” 3:30pm- Jack Ciattarelli—Republican candidate for Governor of New Jersey and a former New Jersey State Representative—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss his tireless efforts to defeat Democrat Mikie Sherrill in November's election. Ciattarelli reacts to a new Eagleton Center for Public Interest/ Rutgers University poll which shows he trails Sherrill by 9-points (their poll last month had Ciattarelli down 20-points). He notes that the poll undercounted male voters and Republicans—which means this race is a coin toss. Plus, energy prices in NJ are skyrocketing and Sherrill's policies are the reason why. 3:50pm- Matt is nearly “concussed” by a falling studio microphone. Rich expresses very little interest in Matt's wellbeing—and is more concerned with the fact that he used the term “concussed.” 4:05pm- Dr. Wilfred Reilly—Professor of Political Science at Kentucky State University & Author of “Lies My Liberal Teacher Told Me”—joins The Rich Zeoli Show to discuss Cracker Barrel changing its logo, Donald Trump vowing to eliminate “woke” from the Smithsonian museums, and the history of progressivism. Plus, should Rich and Dr. Reilly write a book together? 4:40pm- While appearing on Fox Business, FBI Director Kash Patel said of the raid on President Trump's Mar-a-Lago home in 2022 by Biden's Justice Department: "There was no predicate to go and invade his home—and we have answered that definitively." 4:50pm- During an interview on Thursday, President Donald Trump revealed he'll do a ride along through Washington D.C. with police and military tonight. 5:05pm- Last year, New York Judge Arthur F. Engoron found that Donald Trump inflated the value of assets controlled by the Trump Organization in past financial statements.

Political scientists have long argued that legislators believe the public is more conservative than it really is—potentially shaping policies that don't align with what voters actually want. But what if that story is incomplete?In this episode, we talk with University of Chicago political scientist Adam Zelizer, who challenges the conventional wisdom. His new research suggests that politicians may not be systematically biased to the right, but rather exhibit something he calls “midpoint bias”.We unpack why this matters: How do politicians perceive their constituents? Are surveys of public opinion misleading policymakers—or are policymakers just inattentive? And what does this all reveal about the messy relationship between democracy, representation, and what voters actually want?

In this episode of Pekingology, CSIS Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by M. Taylor Fravel, Arthur and Ruth Sloan Professor of Political Science and Director of the Security Studies Program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. They discuss Dr. Fravel's recent Foreign Affairs article, "Is China's Military Ready for War? What Xi's Purges Do—and Don't—Mean for Beijing's Ambitions." The conversation unpacks corruption, modernization, and sudden disappearances at the highest levels of the People's Liberation Army.       

AI is transforming the world around us, offering increased productivity and promising to tackle difficult problems like global warming. But behind the scenes, its environmental costs are mounting. From massive energy use to vast quantities of water required to cool data centres, AI's footprint is growing fast. So, in an age of water scarcity and climate crisis, can we justify this technological boom?As The Conversation Weekly team takes a production break in August, we're delighted to bring you an episode of LSE IQ, an award-winning, monthly social science podcast produced by a team from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Each episode they ask leading social scientists and other experts to answer one intelligent question and speak to people affected by the issues explored. Like artificial intelligence. In this episode of LSE IQ which aired in early May, producer Anna Bevan sets out to find out the environmental costs of AI. This episode was produced and edited by Anna Bevan, with script development from Sophie Mallet and on location sound recording from Oliver Johnson.
