Podcasts about Soft power

Nowak, Tobias www.deutschlandfunk.de, Corso

Dans ce nouvel épisode de Dézoom & Débats, on s'intéresse au film-documentaire Soundtrack to a Coup d’État, sorti en France en 2024. Nous tentons de le décortiquer pour mettre en lumière les ingérences des pays occidentaux dans le processus d’indépendance et de démocratisation du Congo dans les années 1960. En effet dans ce contexte de guerre froide, le Congo était au coeur d’une bataille idéologique et stratégique. Pour cela nous recevons Mr. Safarik, docteur en philosophie politique et gouvernement.

durée : 01:47:44 - Soft Power - par : Frédéric Martel - Le monde contemporain a tissé sa structure relationnelle autour du téléphone, et fait des opérateurs de télécommunications des acteurs clé de la société. Mais les défis sont permanents, entre enjeux de régulation, changement technologique et multiplication des arnaques téléphoniques. - réalisation : Peire Legras, Alexandra Malka - invités : Laure de La Raudière Présidente de l'ARCEP, l'Autorité de régulation des communications électroniques, des postes et de la distribution de la presse; Bernard Hourcade Géographe, directeur de recherche émérite au CNRS et membre du comité de rédaction de la revue "Orient XXI"; Jean-Claude Voisin Docteur en histoire et archéologie, directeur de l'Institut français de Téhéran entre 2008 et 2011; Isabelle Lasserre Journaliste française; Félicité Herzog PDG de Devina AI, ex-présidente de la librairie "L'Ecume des pages"

Moskau versucht, die offizielle Version russischer Softpower in der österreichischen Kulturwelt unterzubringen: in weitgehend unbekannten Theatern und Galerien in Wien. Einige Figuren in diesem Schattentheater treten unter falschen Namen auf, sie haben lückenhafte Lebensläufe. Machen sie Propaganda? Spionieren sie sogar?Die ganze Recherche von Lina Paulitsch können Sie hier nachlesen. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

China geht viral, wieder einmal: Nachdem 2025 die Labubus den Westen und das Internet erobert haben, ist jetzt ein neuer Trend entstanden, der auf folgende Formel gebracht werden kann: „You met me at a very chinese time in my life“.Westliche User, Influencer und Twitch-Streamer zeigen sich dabei, wie sie heißes Wasser trinken, chinesische Gerichte essen, Kaffeeketten aus China besuchen oder gleich in die Volksrepublik reisen, um von den pünktlichen Hochgeschwindigkeitszügen, der modernen Architektur, der E-Mobilität und der weit entwickelten Robotik zu schwärmen.Während der Westen schwächelt und das Antlitz des freundlichen US-Hegemons sehr grimmig ist, wird die chinesische Lebensart immer beliebter. Es ist deshalb wichtig, sich das Konzept von „Soft Power“ zu vergegenwärtigen, dem der Politikberater Joseph S. Nye 2004 ein eigenes Buch widmete. Was, wenn die Eroberung weniger durch Panzer als durch Plüschtiere und Popkultur vor sich geht?Mehr dazu von Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M.

Kennst du das? Du lieferst ab, übernimmst Verantwortung, arbeitest hart, bist loyal. Und dann bekommt jemand anderes die Beförderung. Karriere ist nicht nur Kompetenz. Karriere ist auch Sichtbarkeit, Timing, Macht, Netzwerke – und manchmal schlicht Glück.In dieser Folge #437 spreche mich mit Saruul Krause-Jentsch. Saruul ist Head of Podcast Central Europe bei Spotify, Speakerin und ist nach ihrer Zeit als Gründerin seit Jahren selbst in einer anspruchsvollen Führungsrolle.Saruul hat als Speakerin auf unserem Female Leadership Summit in Hamburg einen Satz gesagt, der im Raum hängen blieb: Es gibt ungeschriebene Regeln – und wenn du sie nicht kennst, kannst du sie auch nicht navigieren.Wir sprechen darüber, warum Frauen häufig glauben, sie müssten nur „alles richtig machen“, um belohnt zu werden – und warum dieses Narrativ uns im Weg steht. Denn in vielen Organisationen gilt: Gute Arbeit reicht nicht. Du musst auch darüber sprechen. Du musst sichtbar sein. Und du musst strategisch verstehen, wann Chancen verteilt werden – und wie du „top of mind“ wirst.Saruul teilt außerdem einen Karriere-Satz, der unbequem ist, aber oft stimmt:„Be nice to your boss or leave.“Denn Führungskräfte sind Gatekeeper. Sie können dich fördern – oder verhindern. Und wenn du merkst, dass du an einem Ort nicht wachsen kannst, ist Loyalität keine Tugend, sondern eine Bremse.Ein weiteres zentrales Thema: der Likeability Bias. Saruul spricht darüber, dass Frauen ehrgeizig sein dürfen – aber gesellschaftlich immer noch stärker dafür bestraft werden. In vielen Systemen müssen Frauen gleichzeitig driven UND sympathisch bleiben, um nicht als „zu viel“ abgestempelt zu werden.Und wir sprechen über Mutterschaft: Warum Frauen oft schon Jahre vor einem möglichen Kind anfangen, ihre Karriere zu verkleinern – und warum Sheryl Sandbergs Satz „Don't leave before you leave“ immer noch ein wichtiger Reality Check ist.Diese Episode ist ein ehrlicher Blick auf Karriere, Macht und Strukturen – und gleichzeitig ein Aufruf, die Regeln zu verstehen, um sie später verändern zu können.In dieser Folge sprechen wir über:Karriere-Mythen und ungeschriebene Regeln in Unternehmenwarum Karriere auch Glück, Timing und Marktbedingungen istSichtbarkeit im Job: „Mach Gutes – und rede darüber“strategische Allianzen und Networking ohne BullshitCorporate Politics und der Einfluss von Führungskräften„Be nice to your boss or leave“: toxische Dynamiken erkennenLikeability Bias: warum Frauen doppelt performen müssenPrivilegien reflektieren und trotzdem ambitioniert bleibenMutterschaft als Karriere-Hürde – und als unterschätzte Ressourcewarum eine Firma dich nicht zurücklieben kannKarriere ist nicht fair.

durée : 01:47:54 - Soft Power - par : Frédéric Martel - Depuis l'intervention américaine au Venezuela, les récits sur le pays s'entrechoquent, entre dénonciation d'une opération d'ingérence étrangère, célébration de la chute de Maduro et soutien au nouveau gouvernement. Une lutte d'influence à l'intérieur du pays, mais aussi à l'international. - réalisation : Peire Legras, Alexandra Malka - invités : Rosmit Mantilla Politique vénézuélien, ancien député à l'Assemblée Nationale du Venezuela; Gaspard Estrada Politologue, membre de l'unité du Sud Global à la London School of Economics; Raphaëlle Bacqué Grand reporter au quotidien "Le Monde"; Julie Kretzchmar Commissaire générale de la Saison Méditerranée 2026

John Seager, President and CEO of Population Connection, has authored numerous articles and op-eds on population growth and development.    Studies have shown, when given the choice, most women prefer to have smaller families and families want to make their own decisions. Soft power is critical to saving lives and free people from tyranny and disease. These efforts have been undercut by the decimation of USAID and withdrawal from the UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund. Population issues should not be pollical, but bipartisan as in the past.   The educational materials fit into each state's educational requirements to be objective and informative. Modern contraception is a transformative tool to help people plan their families. If there is a decline in population, according to a Goldman Sachs study, communities that lose population will also lose schools, hospitals and employment opportunities. The recent Republican bill will close hundreds of hospitals in the U.S.

     In this episode of WarDocs, we sit down with Dr. Franklin Sechriest, a former US Navy   Commander and orthopedic surgeon, to explore the high-stakes world of Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Relief (HADR) missions. Drawing from his extensive experience, Dr. Sechriest details the unique challenges of performing complex surgeries aboard naval vessels while responding to some of the most devastating natural disasters of the 21st century, including the 2004 Indonesian tsunami and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. He provides a fascinating comparison between the capabilities of massive hospital ships like the USNS Mercy—floating Level 1 trauma centers—and the tactical agility of amphibious assault ships like the USS Bataan.     Dr. Sechriest shares gripping personal anecdotes, including the life-saving resuscitation and surgery of a young Indonesian boy, which highlight the profound human impact of military medicine. Beyond the operating room, the conversation delves into the strategic importance of these missions. Dr. Sechriest explains how medical teams project "soft power," strengthening diplomatic ties and winning hearts and minds in regions where traditional military force is not the answer. He also discusses his collaboration with the Naval Health Research Center to analyze surgical data, revealing how past missions have reshaped current staffing models to better care for pediatric and geriatric populations often found in disaster zones.      Looking ahead, the discussion covers the potential of Artificial Intelligence to reduce provider burnout and the advent of smart orthopedic implants. Finally, Dr. Sechriest offers timeless advice on leadership, emphasizing that the most effective leaders in chaotic environments are those who view themselves primarily as servants to their team and their patients. This episode offers a comprehensive look at how Navy Medicine combines compassion, logistics, and surgical excellence to bring hope to the darkest corners of the globe.   Chapters (00:00-04:46) Introduction to Dr. Sechriest and the Path to Navy Orthopedics (04:46-14:55) Hospital Ships, Warships, and Life-Saving Stories from the Tsunami (14:55-27:14) Logistical Challenges, Ethical Dilemmas, and Data-Driven Improvements (27:14-36:12) Medical Diplomacy as Soft Power and Training for Future Conflicts (36:12-48:29) The Future of AI in Medicine and Leadership Advice for Aspiring Officers   Chapter Summaries (00:00-04:46) Introduction to Dr. Sechriest and the Path to Navy Orthopedics The episode begins with Dr. Sechriest explaining his motivation for combining a medical career with military service, viewing it as the ultimate form of servant leadership. He describes his journey from general surgery to becoming an "accidental orthopedic surgeon" and how he found himself deployed on major humanitarian missions shortly after joining the Navy. (04:46-14:55) Hospital Ships, Warships, and Life-Saving Stories from the Tsunami This section distinguishes the medical capabilities between the massive USNS Mercy hospital ship and the tactical USS Bataan amphibious assault ship. Dr. Sechriest shares a moving anecdote about a young Indonesian boy who was airlifted to the ship in critical condition, illustrating how Navy assets can provide hope and advanced trauma care where absolutely none existed. (14:55-27:14) Logistical Challenges, Ethical Dilemmas, and Data-Driven Improvements The conversation shifts to the complexities of operating in disaster zones, including language barriers, continuity of care, and resource allocation. Dr. Sechriest details his work with the Naval Health Research Center to analyze mission data, which helped transition staffing models from World War II-era combat configurations to robust teams capable of treating diverse pediatric and geriatric populations. (27:14-36:12) Medical Diplomacy as Soft Power and Training for Future Conflicts Dr. Sechriest explains how humanitarian missions serve as a vital tool for "soft power" in the post-9/11 era, using compassion to improve global security and international relations. He also discusses how the chaotic, resource-constrained environments of natural disasters provide unparalleled training for medical officers preparing for combat operations. (36:12-48:29) The Future of AI in Medicine and Leadership Advice for Aspiring Officers In the final segment, the discussion explores how Artificial Intelligence can reduce administrative burdens for physicians and how smart implants will revolutionize orthopedic recovery. Dr. Sechriest concludes with advice for the next generation of military medical professionals, encouraging them to seek out tough assignments and lead with humility. Take Home Messages Medical Diplomacy as Soft Power: Humanitarian assistance missions are a critical strategic tool that allows the military to project goodwill and strengthen international alliances without firing a shot. By providing high-level medical care to foreign populations during crises, military medicine acts as a stabilizing force that can improve global security and alter negative perceptions of the United States in sensitive geopolitical regions. Data-Driven Operational Readiness: The analysis of surgical logs and patient encounters from previous disaster relief missions is essential for modernizing military medical responses. Research has shown that historical staffing models based on combat trauma were often insufficient for natural disasters, leading to a new focus on deploying with the right mix of pediatric and geriatric resources to match the actual needs of the affected population. The Distinction Between Naval Medical Assets: Understanding the difference between Echelon 3 hospital ships and Echelon 2 casualty receiving and treatment ships is vital for logistical success. While hospital ships offer comprehensive, prolonged care similar to a land-based trauma center, amphibious warships provide essential damage control surgery and superior air and sea transport capabilities to move casualties efficiently. Servant Leadership in Chaos: Leading effectively in the high-stress, chaotic environment of a disaster zone requires a mindset of humility and service rather than authority. The most successful medical officers are those who maintain focus on the mission, prioritize the well-being of their team, and acknowledge that they must rely on the collective expertise of others to solve complex logistical and ethical problems. AI and the Future of Orthopedics: Advanced technologies, particularly Artificial Intelligence and smart implants, are poised to revolutionize military and federal medicine by improving efficiency and outcomes. AI has the potential to alleviate provider burnout by automating non-clinical tasks, while sensor-embedded implants will provide objective data on patient recovery, allowing for proactive interventions and better long-term care.   Episode Keywords WarDocs, Military Medicine, Navy Medicine, Orthopedic Surgery, Humanitarian Assistance, Disaster Relief, USNS Mercy, USS Bataan, Tsunami Relief, Haiti Earthquake, Medical Diplomacy, Naval Health Research Center, Trauma Surgery, Global Health, Military Leadership, Soft Power, Navy Doctor, Hospital Ship, Warship Medicine, AI in Healthcare, Disaster Medicine, Servant Leadership Hashtags #MilitaryMedicine, #NavyDoctor, #OrthopedicSurgery, #DisasterRelief, #HumanitarianAid, #USNavy, #MedicalLeadership, #WarDocs   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

"We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition," Canada's Prime Minster Mark Carney said in a recent speech at the World Economic Forum. The shift in international relations has Carney urging "middle power" countries to build coalitions and act together to counteract the "great power" strategy of the day: coercion. How? By flexing "soft power" — assets a country has that are attractive to other countries in the context of international affairs. Turns out, Canada and a majority of other countries have an opportunity to play a significant role on the international stage, if they choose to take it.This IDEAS episode is a discussion with Jennifer Welsh, McGill University's Canada Research Chair in Global Governance and Security, hosted at the University of Ottawa in the fall of 2025. We also hear from former high commissioner to Britain Janice Charette, former head of MSF Dr. Joanne Liu and climate campaigner Catherine Abreu.

Auf dem Weltwirtschaftsforum in Davos 2026 wurde vor dem Eintritt in eine neue geopolitische Phase gewarnt: einer Epoche dominanter Hard Power, in der militärische Stärke an Bedeutung gewinnt und multilaterale Zusammenarbeit unter Druck gerät. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird ein tiefgreifender Epochenbruch in der internationalen Ordnung sichtbar: Der Westen verliert seine Hegemonie im Bereich der Soft Power, militärische Mittel rücken wieder ins Zentrum der Politik und Deutschland muss seine Außenpolitik neu ausrichten. In der vorerst letzten Episode von „Die Kulturmittler:innen“ sprechen ifa-Präsidentin Daniela Schwarzer und ifa-Generalsekretärin Gitte Zschoch gemeinsam mit Moderatorin Amira El Ahl über die Rolle des ifa und internationaler Kulturarbeit in Zeiten globaler Verunsicherung. Wie kann sie bestehen, wenn Hard Power die politische Agenda dominiert? Welche Handlungsspielräume entstehen für Deutschland und Europa? Zudem geht es um die Kunstszene als Seismograf gesellschaftlicher Umbrüche und warum Dialog, zivilgesellschaftliche Programme für Kunst- und Kulturschaffende und Plattformen wie die Kunstbiennale Venedig 2026 gerade jetzt wichtiger denn je sind. Alle Folgen bleiben zum Nachhören auf der ifa-Website und allen gängigen Podcast-Plattformen verfügbar. Danke an alle, die uns begleitet haben – bleiben Sie im Gespräch.

The unifying youth culture across the Arab region is characterized by a proud new Arab identity and the changing standards of beauty with the rise of "Arab beauty" (A beauty), which celebrates Arab features and aesthetics. The founder of Mille World and Mille Creative, Sofia Guellaty, talks about her journey launching the first Arab youth platform in the Arab world, the role of media professionals as "editors of conversations," and the emergence of a new, proud Arab identity among both Gen Z and millennials. She discusses how she uses fashion and pop culture as a tool for "soft power" to talk about liberation, representation, and diversity, moving away from superficial content. She reflects on her early career, her shift from being fascinated by the West to "unbashedly proud to be Arab," and the challenges faced by Arab talent, including visa issues and the lack of an Arab-centric market. The conversation also delves into how her platform, Mille World, aims to address the lack of authentic Arab youth representation by giving a voice to young creatives who want to define their own stories, not be perceived through a "western gaze". Explore Mille World

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Aurelio Gialluca, an economist and full stack data professional who works across finance, retail, and AI as both a data engineer and machine learning developer, while also exploring human consciousness and psychology. Their wide-ranging conversation covers the intersection of science and psychology, the unique cultural characteristics that make Argentina a haven for eccentrics (drawing parallels to the United States), and how Argentine culture has produced globally influential figures from Borges to Maradona to Che Guevara. They explore the current AI landscape as a "centralizing force" creating cultural homogenization (particularly evident in LinkedIn's cookie-cutter content), discuss the potential futures of AI development from dystopian surveillance states to anarchic chaos, and examine how Argentina's emotionally mature, non-linear communication style might offer insights for navigating technological change. The conversation concludes with Gialluca describing his ambitious project to build a custom water-cooled workstation with industrial-grade processors for his quantitative hedge fund, highlighting the practical challenges of heat management and the recent tripling of RAM prices due to market consolidation.Timestams00:00 Exploring the Intersection of Psychology and Science02:55 Cultural Eccentricity: Argentina vs. the United States05:36 The Influence of Religion on National Identity08:50 The Unique Argentine Cultural Landscape11:49 Soft Power and Cultural Influence14:48 Political Figures and Their Cultural Impact17:50 The Role of Sports in Shaping National Identity20:49 The Evolution of Argentine Music and Subcultures23:41 AI and the Future of Cultural Dynamics26:47 Navigating the Chaos of AI in Culture33:50 Equilibrating Society for a Sustainable Future35:10 The Patchwork Age: Decentralization and Society35:56 The Impact of AI on Human Connection38:06 Individualism vs. Collective Rules in Society39:26 The Future of AI and Global Regulations40:16 Biotechnology: The Next Frontier42:19 Building a Personal AI Lab45:51 Tiers of AI Labs: From Personal to Industrial48:35 Mathematics and AI: The Foundation of Innovation52:12 Stochastic Models and Predictive Analytics55:47 Building a Supercomputer: Hardware InsightsKey Insights1. Argentina's Cultural Exceptionalism and Emotional Maturity: Argentina stands out globally for allowing eccentrics to flourish and having a non-linear communication style that Gialluca describes as "non-monotonous systems." Argentines can joke profoundly and be eccentric while simultaneously being completely organized and straightforward, demonstrating high emotional intelligence and maturity that comes from their unique cultural blend of European romanticism and Latino lightheartedness.2. Argentina as an Underrecognized Cultural Superpower: Despite being introverted about their achievements, Argentina produces an enormous amount of global culture through music, literature, and iconic figures like Borges, Maradona, Messi, and Che Guevara. These cultural exports have shaped entire generations worldwide, with Argentina "stealing the thunder" from other nations and creating lasting soft power influence that people don't fully recognize as Argentine.3. AI's Cultural Impact Follows Oscillating Patterns: Culture operates as a dynamic system that oscillates between centralization and decentralization like a sine wave. AI currently represents a massive centralizing force, as seen in LinkedIn's homogenized content, but this will inevitably trigger a decentralization phase. The speed of this cultural transformation has accelerated dramatically, with changes that once took generations now happening in years.4. The Coming Bifurcation of AI Futures: Gialluca identifies two extreme possible endpoints for AI development: complete centralized control (the "Mordor" scenario with total surveillance) or complete chaos where everyone has access to dangerous capabilities like creating weapons or viruses. Finding a middle path between these extremes is essential for society's survival, requiring careful equilibrium between accessibility and safety.5. Individual AI Labs Are Becoming Democratically Accessible: Gialluca outlines a tier system for AI capabilities, where individuals can now build "tier one" labs capable of fine-tuning models and processing massive datasets for tens of thousands of dollars. This democratization means that capabilities once requiring teams of PhD scientists can now be achieved by dedicated individuals, fundamentally changing the landscape of AI development and access.6. Hardware Constraints Are the New Limiting Factor: While AI capabilities are rapidly advancing, practical implementation is increasingly constrained by hardware availability and cost. RAM prices have tripled in recent months, and the challenge of managing enormous heat output from powerful processors requires sophisticated cooling systems. These physical limitations are becoming the primary bottleneck for individual AI development.7. Data Quality Over Quantity Is the Critical Challenge: The main bottleneck for AI advancement is no longer energy or GPUs, but high-quality data for training. Early data labeling efforts produced poor results because labelers lacked domain expertise. The future lies in reinforcement learning (RL) environments where AI systems can generate their own high-quality training data, representing a fundamental shift in how AI systems learn and develop.

Avant de parler de la Coupe d'Afrique des nations, les journaux s'intéressent aussi au renouvellement du mandat de la Monusco. Ce week-end, les Nations unies ont renouvelé, pour un an, le mandat de leur mission en République démocratique du Congo. Et ce alors même que « la mission onusienne avait amorcé un processus de désengagement, notamment au Sud-Kivu, après plus de deux décennies de présence sur le sol congolais », rappelle Le Potentiel en RDC. Mais le contexte sécuritaire aura eu raison de cette volonté : la situation est « particulièrement préoccupant[e] », rappelle actualite.cd, en raison des affrontements dans l'est du pays. « La rébellion de l'AFC/M23, soutenue par le Rwanda, occupe de vastes zones dans les territoires de Rutshuru, Nyiragongo, Masisi, Lubero et Walikale », pointe ainsi le titre. Conclusion : une « aggravation » des crises humanitaire et sécuritaire.  Mais après plus de 20 ans de mandats successifs, le média burkinabè Le Pays s'interroge : « Que peut-on encore attendre de cette mission onusienne ? (…) À quoi servira ce renouvellement de mandat ? » Le quotidien est circonspect, même s'il admet que ce n'est pas entièrement la faute de la Monusco. Celle-ci aurait bien besoin, pour agir, « d'un mandat robuste, comme ce fut le cas en 2013 », ce qui lui avait à l'époque permis « de mettre le M23 en déroute », se remémore Le Pays. Tout de même, le journal accorde au moins un mérite à la Monusco : celui de pouvoir être « une force tampon » et d'être « mise à contribution dans le cadre de la sécurisation des populations ».  Le Maroc et la CAN en étendard  Les journaux marocains ne sont pas peu fiers que leur pays héberge la compétition. Ainsi de L'Opinion, qui s'enorgueillit que « le nom du Maroc [soit] devenu un véritable label d'excellence dans le monde très concurrentiel du football ». Le 360 se gargarise de la même manière de cette « organisation grandiose » et de « la ferveur déjà palpable dans chaque ville, chaque rue, chaque café ». Accueillir la compétition est autant une preuve des mérites du Maroc qu'une occasion d'éblouir encore un peu plus le monde entier, « une opportunité majeure, de doper davantage ce soft power en présentant (…) au monde entier notre meilleur visage », poursuit l'Opinion. H24 Info ne s'y trompe pas non plus : sur le terrain comme ailleurs, le pays « n'a pas le droit à l'erreur » ; le sélectionneur Walid Regragui fait face à « une énorme pression » tandis que le président de la Fédération royale marocaine de football « doit rendre une copie parfaite du point de vue de l'organisation ». Le Royaume a donc mis les petits plats dans les grands. Le Monde Afrique parle même de « moyens hors norme ». Quitte parfois à s'attirer les foudres de la société civile. Car le dispositif impliquant « surveillance avec drones, caméras avec systèmes de reconnaissance faciale, commissariats à l'intérieur des enceintes sportives » est regardé d'un mauvais œil, quelques semaines après le mouvement Gen Z 212 qui a vu des dizaines de milliers de jeunes manifester pour réclamer un meilleur accès aux soins ou au logement. Une vitrine au-delà de la CAN  Dans quatre ans, le royaume chérifien remet le couvert avec cette fois la Coupe du monde, co-organisée avec l'Espagne et le Portugal. Ce qui fait du Maroc, rappelle H24 Info, le « deuxième pays africain à accueillir une Coupe du monde, 20 ans après l'Afrique du Sud ». La Coupe d'Afrique des nations a donc des airs de « répétition générale », pour faire du pays « une vitrine internationale », abonde L'Économiste. C'est d'ailleurs pour cela, rappelle Le Monde Afrique, que Rabat a investi l'équivalent de près de deux milliards d'euros dans « ses infrastructures hôtelières, aéroportuaires, routières et sportives » et dans la rénovation de ses stades. Puis il est aussi question, bien sûr, de soft power. Ici, le ballon rond est surtout un prétexte pour « renforcer l'influence économique et diplomatique du royaume sur la scène internationale, et pas seulement en Afrique ». Dans cette perspective, chaque Marocain est rien de moins qu'un « ambassadeur de son pays », estime L'Opinion. Pour reprendre les mots de Walid Regragui : « remporter la CAN n'est pas un choix », c'est « une obligation ».

Former investment banker and ESG “whistleblower” Desiree Fixler joins The Winston Marshall Show to expose what she says is one of the biggest financial scams of the modern era.Fixler explains how she helped build the ESG and stakeholder capitalism framework from inside Wall Street before discovering it was being used to mislead investors, overcharge consumers, and rebrand powerful elites after the financial crash. Drawing on her time as Chief Sustainability Officer at Deutsche Bank's trillion dollar asset manager, she reveals how ESG labels were slapped onto funds with no evidence, no data, and no accountability.She describes how ESG became mandatory through regulation, how net zero and DEI targets distorted corporate decision making, and why trillions were diverted into unprofitable green projects while energy prices soared. Fixler recounts blowing the whistle internally, being fired, smeared, and forced to rebuild her life from scratch before US and German authorities later confirmed widespread ESG fraudWe discuss Klaus Schwab, the World Economic Forum, stakeholder capitalism versus shareholder capitalism, the role of consultants and regulators, and why Fixler believes ESG has undermined growth, trust, and democracy across the West.A rare inside account of how ESG really worked, who profited, and why the whole system is now beginning to collapse.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------WATCH FULL EXTEND CONVERSATION HERE: https://open.substack.com/pub/winstonmarshall/p/i-helped-build-it-a-wef-davos-insider?r=18lfab&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web&showWelcomeOnShare=true-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction 02:19 Desiree's Background and Early Career 06:29 ESG Explained: Why It Was So Profitable11:26 When ESG Became Mandatory16:02 The Great Financial Crisis and ESG Rebranding18:07 The Backlash Against ESG23:48 The WEF's Influence and Control 25:51 Inside Deutsche Bank: Discovering ESG Fraud33:48 Fired, Smeared & Pushed Out44:52 The Multi-Trillion Dollar Industrial Complex57:43 Inside the World Economic Forum1:01:34 Soft Power, Global Governance & Democracy1:07:27 The Backlash Against ESG1:18:00 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

Reporting from West Hollywood, in a rock 'n' roll hotel with no parties and no drugs as house rules. We take a walk down Sunset Boulevard and into the strange engine of L.A.: a city built almost entirely on imagination, storytelling and constant reinvention. From Mulholland's aqueduct to the studios that wrote America's myths, we asks: what does a place like this tell us about capitalism, churn and the Uber-ised, gigged-out modern economy? From there, we fly back into something touchier: Ireland's relationship with the United States. We lay out just how dependent Ireland is on U.S. investment, jobs and tax, and then ask why so much of the Irish left, especially what he calls the “presidential left”, is reflexively anti-American. We unpack third-worldism, neutrality as moral performance, climate politics as a Trojan horse, and the growing gap between Áras rhetoric and how ordinary Irish people actually live, work and travel in a world where America is still our best friend Hosted on Acast.
