The episode begins with a reflection on Brazil's 2025 BRICS presidency, which emphasized continuity with the bloc's original reformist agenda—particularly the push for reform of global financial institutions and greater representation for emerging economies. While Brazil focused on trade facilitation, climate finance, and taxation cooperation, progress on deeper monetary coordination and mechanisms such as the Contingent Reserve Arrangement remained limited. Ana Garcia also notes the gap between expectations and reality within BRICS. Despite its growing geopolitical visibility, the bloc has struggled to develop unified responses to global crises and remains economically imbalanced, with intra-BRICS trade heavily centered on China. The New Development Bank continues to expand its project financing and local currency lending but operates within global financial constraints and plays a more limited role than often perceived. Looking ahead, India's presidency will focus on consolidating the expanded BRICS grouping while cautiously advancing financial cooperation, climate adaptation financing, and South-South collaboration in health. The discussion concludes that India's success will depend on pragmatic institutional progress rather than ambitious rhetoric, as BRICS navigates a complex and polarized global environment.

As African universities accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence, experts are calling for a model rooted in collaboration and context.Education leaders say South–South partnerships are critical — allowing institutions to share infrastructure costs, scale successful pilot projects, and avoid costly mistakes. Networks such as the Education Collaborative are already helping universities learn from one another and co-develop solutions suited to emerging markets.But collaboration alone is not enough.Innovation leaders within the AfriLabs ecosystem argue that AI systems must be built on local data and traditional knowledge systems to ensure relevance. They warn that overreliance on foreign datasets and external funding risks producing tools that fail to reflect African realities.The message is clear: Africa's AI future must be shared — but it must also be sovereign.

This is an especially meaningful moment for me since it's my final opportunity for our customary exchange at the beginning of the year. These are early days — but 2026 is already shaping up to be a year of constant surprises and chaos. Before I entered public life, I trained as a physicist. And in times of profound flux, I return to some of the fixed principles that explain how forces act upon the world. One stands out — Newton's Third Law of Motion: for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. In physics, this law is a stabilizing principle. In geopolitics today, it is a destabilizing factor. We are living in a world where actions — especially reckless ones — are provoking dangerous reactions. And unlike in physics, these reactions are not symmetrical or predictable. They are being multiplied by geopolitical divisions and magnified by an epidemic of impunity. The law of power is prevailing over the power of law. International law is trampled. Cooperation is eroding. And multilateral institutions are under assault on many fronts. When perilous actions do not meet the adequate reaction, the system destabilizes. Impunity is driving today's conflicts — fueling escalation, widening mistrust, and kicking the doors open for powerful spoilers to enter from every direction. Meanwhile, the slashing of humanitarian aid is generating its own chain reactions of despair, displacement and death. At the same time, inequalities are deepening and roiling societies. Climate change is the most literal and devastating illustration of Newton's principle. Every action that heats the planet triggers a ferocious reaction — storms, wildfires, hurricanes, droughts, rising seas. And then there is technology. We are witnessing perhaps the greatest transfer of power of our times — not from Governments to people, but from Governments to private technology companies. When technologies that shape behavior, elections, markets and even conflicts operate without guardrails, the reaction is not innovation, it is instability. As I look across the spectrum of global challenges, one truth becomes unmistakably clear: our systems of global problem-solving face a reckoning. Those systems are out of time. They still reflect the economic and power structures of 80 years ago. But the world is moving on. Every day, the share of global economic activity by the traditional group of developed economies recedes — quietly, gradually, but undeniably. Every day, emerging economies expand in scale, in influence and in confidence. Every day, the dynamism of South-South trade further outpaces traditional North-North flows. Yet, our structures, our institutions, our assumptions, our habits of cooperation, remain tethered to another time. This must change. Our structures and institutions must reflect the complexity — and the opportunity — of these new times and realities. Global problems will not be solved by one Power calling the shots. Nor will they be solved by two Powers carving the world into rival spheres of influence. It is important to accelerate, deliberately and with determination, multipolarity — one that is networked, inclusive by design and capable of creating balance through partnerships. Partnerships in trade, in technology and in international cooperation. But, multipolarity, by itself, does not guarantee stability or peace. Europe before the First World War was multipolar. But, in the absence of effective multilateral institutions, the result was confrontation and war. For multipolarity to generate equilibrium, prosperity and peace, we need strong multilateral institutions where legitimacy is rooted in shared responsibility and shared values. And let's be clear about something else as we strongly pursue reform: Structures may be out of date — but values are not. Leadership today is not a choice about being principled or pragmatic. It's the recognition that principles are pragmatic. The Charter of the United Nations was written by people bloodied and bruised by war. They understood that the values enshrined in our founding documents were not lofty abstractions or idealistic hopes. Those values are the sine qua non of lasting peace and enduring justice. Values matter — and people are risking everything to make those values real. That is on full display around the world — whether it is a protestor standing up to repression, a journalist standing up for press freedom or an everyday citizen standing up for their neighbour. Despite all the hurdles, the United Nations is acting to give life to our shared values. And we won't give up. We are pushing for peace — just and sustainable peace rooted in international law. Peace that addresses root causes. Peace that endures beyond the signing of an agreement. We are pressing to reform and strengthen the Security Council — the one and only body with the Charter-mandated authority to act on peace and security on behalf of every country. But there is no lasting peace without development. We are acting to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals and insisting on reform of the global financial architecture. That includes ending the crushing cycle of debt, tripling the lending capacity of multilateral development banks and ensuring developing countries' just participation and real influence in global financial institutions. On climate, we recognize the overshoot of global temperatures above the 1.5-degree threshold and that it now requires an overshoot of ambition — starting with deep emissions cuts this decade and a just, orderly and equitable transition from fossil fuels to renewables. We are demanding far greater support for countries already confronting climate catastrophe, expanded early warning systems, opportunities for nations rich in critical minerals to climb global value chains. And on technology, we are working urgently to help craft a framework for governance — through a global dialogue here at the United Nations, the new International Scientific Panel on AI and enhanced capacity support for developing countries. I will soon submit to the General Assembly a list of 40 names of proposed Panel members. I am also calling for the creation of a Global Fund on AI Capacity Development for developing countries — with a target of $3 billion. As we begin this year, we are determined to choose actions that generate concrete and positive reactions — as called for in the Pact for the Future. Reactions of peace, of justice, of responsibility and of progress in our troubled times. Thank you. And I am at your disposal.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/policy-and-rights--3339563/support.

Episode #461: “I think this time, there is even more hope for a fundamental shift and change in [Myanmar],” says Gus Miclat, co-founder of Initiatives for International Dialogue (IID). He contrasts today's Myanmar resistance with earlier elite-led struggles, seeing in it the potential for “a more systemic change.”Miclat traces his activism to high school protests in the Philippines, sharpened during Ferdinand Marcos Sr.'s dictatorship. He became a journalist, educator, and organizer, later co-founding IID in 1988 to build “South-South solidarity” linking democracy and liberation movements across Asia. Early work focused on East Timor, where IID organized the landmark 1994 Asia-Pacific Conference, defying government pressure and catalyzing a coalition that contributed to Timor's eventual independence.In 2000, IID turned to peacebuilding in Mindanao, helping to bring civil society into negotiations that led to the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region. That experience informs IID's renewed engagement in Myanmar since the 2021 coup, which Miclat views as uniquely promising because of grassroots leadership, ethnic unity, and what he calls a new “culture of care” among activists.Miclat highlights initiatives such as exchanges between Rohingya women leaders and displaced women in Marawi, which bridge local struggles with regional advocacy. He also stresses the need to adapt activism to authoritarianism's resurgence, harnessing social media without losing sight of real-world organizing. His focus is always, first and foremost, centered in the importance of people being mobilized and acting, and not on institutions, governments or media attention.“Even the smallest act,” he says, “is part of a larger effort. A little wound in your pinky is felt by your entire body… Healing one scar helps heal the whole.”

Between Ras El Hekma and Alam El Roum on the North Coast, and Ras Shukeir along the Red Sea, investments pouring in from the GCC are considered a lifeline for Egypt’s economy. But beyond the headlines, an intricate relationship is forming between Egypt and its Gulf neighbors, especially the UAE and Saudi Arabia. And it got some of us wondering: is it all competition, or is there more to the story? Mashreq Group CEO Ahmed Abdelaal is a regional banking powerhouse, and he argues that each of these three countries has a unique offering; to him, it’s not a race of who’s bigger or better, but rather a collaboration. Abdelaal joins EnterpriseAM's Editor-in-Chief Patrick FitzPatrick to expand on an older conversation they had about that exact dynamic, or what he calls “the three elephants in the room.” They also talk about Egypt’s unique position vis-a-vis the South-South corridor, the importance of building sustainable frameworks of communication around foreign investment, and, of course, AI. Forum Playback is an eight-part series capturing the conversations we hosted as part of our annual EnterpriseAM Forum.

President Xi Jinping's keynote speech at the opening ceremony of the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women has drawn widespread acclaim from foreign participants and overseas experts, who welcomed his proposals as a pivotal step toward accelerating gender equality and women's empowerment worldwide.习近平主席在全球妇女峰会开幕式上发表的主旨演讲,得到了外国参会者及海外专家的广泛赞誉。他们认为,主席提出的倡议是在全球范围内加快性别平等与妇女赋权的关键一步。They said the convening of the meeting holds milestone significance, demonstrating China's global leadership in promoting and protecting human rights and development, and advancing women's status.他们表示,此次会议的召开具有里程碑意义,彰显了中国在促进和保护人权与发展、提升妇女地位方面的全球领导力。"Women play an important role in creating, promoting and carrying forward human civilization. And the international community has a shared responsibility to advance the cause of women," Xi emphasized in his address, calling for tangible actions.习近平在讲话中强调:“妇女是人类文明的创造者、推动者和传承者,推动妇女事业发展是国际社会的共同责任”,并呼吁采取切实行动。He made four proposals, calling for collective efforts to foster an enabling environment for women's growth, propel high-quality development for women, strengthen governance frameworks to protect women's rights and enhance global cooperation on gender equality.他提出四点倡议,呼吁各方共同努力,为妇女成长营造有利环境、推动妇女高质量发展、健全妇女权益保障治理体系、加强性别平等领域全球合作。Recalling the Fourth World Conference on Women held in Beijing 30 years ago, Deputy Secretary-General of the United Nations Amina J.Mohammed underscored the pioneering role of the Beijing conference, noting that it lit "a fire of possibility" for women worldwide. She said she is very glad to see China and other states "who have kept this flame alive".联合国常务副秘书长阿明娜・穆罕默德回顾了30年前在北京举行的第四次世界妇女大会,强调该会议具有开创性意义,为全球妇女点燃了“希望之火”。她表示,很高兴看到中国及其他国家“延续了这一火种”。Hosting a second historic conference in Beijing is a reminder of the shared responsibility to deliver on women's rights, she added.她补充道,在北京再次举办这一历史性会议,提醒着各方肩负着落实妇女权利的共同责任。The senior UN official commended Xi for "leading this Global Leaders' Meeting on Women and demonstrating his genuine commitment to the women's rights agenda".这位联合国高级官员赞扬习近平“牵头举办此次全球妇女峰会,并切实致力于推进妇女权利议程”。Anita Amorim, head of the International Labour Organization's Emerging and Special Partnerships Unit, said that in the context of South-South cooperation, women's empowerment offers a strategic lever for resilience and shared growth, while noting that the Global Leaders' Meeting on Women has served as both a celebration of progress and a critical point of reflection on the persistent gaps in women's rights and empowerment worldwide.国际劳工组织新兴与特别伙伴关系司负责人安妮塔・阿莫林表示,在南南合作背景下,妇女赋权是增强韧性与实现共同增长的战略抓手。她指出,全球妇女峰会既是对已有进展的肯定,也为反思全球妇女权利与赋权领域仍存在的差距提供了重要契机。Amorim said that as challenges including conflict, debt distress and a cost-of-living crisis have deepened inequalities, the meeting came at an essential time, focusing on women's advancement in the economy and advocating opportunities for both women and men.阿莫林称,冲突、债务困境、生活成本危机等挑战加剧了不平等,此次会议的召开恰逢其时,聚焦妇女经济赋权,并倡导为女性和男性创造平等机会。She said that over the years, the ILO has cooperated with China through South-South cooperation, bringing tangible benefits to countries in the Global South, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, in promoting employment, skills development and social protection, while promoting women's entrepreneurship and gender equality.她表示,多年来,国际劳工组织通过南南合作与中国开展合作,在促进就业、技能培训、社会保障等领域为全球南方国家(尤其是亚太地区国家)带来了切实利益,同时也推动了妇女创业与性别平等。Nahla Haidar El Addal, head of the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, highly praised Xi's advocacy of supporting women in shouldering more responsibilities, engaging deeply in global governance and sharing the fruits of governance.联合国消除对妇女歧视委员会主席纳拉・海达高度评价习近平提出的支持妇女承担更多责任、深度参与全球治理、共享治理成果的主张。She pointed out that the key challenge in the current global governance system lies in the lack of coordinated, unified, clear and well-defined rules and a procedural framework, which makes it difficult for countries to form synergy in their actions. Therefore, she stressed that building international consensus and improving governance rules are of critical importance.她指出,当前全球治理体系面临的核心挑战在于缺乏协调统一、清晰明确的规则与程序框架,导致各国难以形成行动合力。因此,她强调,凝聚国际共识、完善治理规则至关重要。Russel Harland, deputy branch secretary and international relations officer of the Surrey County branch of UNISON, one of the largest trade unions in the United Kingdom, said he believes that China is giving vital impetus to the fight against gender inequality by embedding the shared responsibility to advance women's development, such as urging tangible and accessible policies to channel more quality health and educational resources to all women.英国最大工会之一“公共与商业服务工会” 萨里郡分会副秘书长兼国际关系官员拉塞尔・哈兰德(音译)表示,他认为中国正通过落实推动妇女发展的共同责任,为消除性别不平等注入重要动力,例如推动制定切实可行的政策,向全体妇女倾斜更多优质医疗与教育资源。He noted that Xi's invigorating words are in line with China's Global Development Initiative, which calls for staying committed to development as a priority.他指出,习近平主席振奋人心的讲话与中国提出的全球发展倡议一脉相承,该倡议强调坚持以发展为优先事项。President Pro Tempore of the Liberian Senate Nyonblee Karnga-Lawrence said, "China's commitment of $10 million to UN Women is highly significant for African nations, many of which are already partnering with the international organization to empower women.利比里亚参议院临时议长扬布利・康加・劳伦斯表示:“中国向联合国妇女署承诺提供1000万美元资金,这对非洲国家意义重大——许多非洲国家已在与该国际组织合作推进妇女赋权”。"We look forward to this partnership and hope that small countries, in particular, will benefit from it," she added.她补充道:“我们期待这一合作能带来实效,尤其希望小国能从中受益”。Marija Petrovic, a journalist from Serbia who covered the event, voiced her strong support for Xi's emphasis on improving girls' and women's rights in education.报道此次会议的塞尔维亚记者玛丽娅・彼得罗维奇表示,她坚决支持习近平关于改善女童与妇女教育权利的主张。She said it is essential for girls to have education and their own money, as independence grants them the freedom to make their own choices.她认为,女童接受教育、拥有独立收入至关重要,因为经济独立能让她们获得自主做选择的自由。pivotaladj.关键的,核心的/ˈpɪvətl/empowermentn.赋权,增权/ɪmˈpaʊəmənt/tangibleadj.切实的,具体的;可触摸的/ˈtændʒəbl/synergyn.协同作用,合力/ˈsɪnədʒi/
In the first episode of In Pursuit of Development Season 6, host Dan Banik returns after an unexpected year-and-a-half hiatus following a serious health emergency. Dan examines how the world has entered a period of profound flux. The once-stable liberal international order is giving way to a more fragmented and contested multipolar reality. He explores how trade wars, weakening multilateral institutions, debt crises, environmental stress, and disruptive technologies are reshaping global politics and development. However, amidst this turbulence, he identifies a powerful countercurrent — the growing visibility and influence of the Global South. Dan unpacks how countries across Asia, Africa, and Latin America are asserting new forms of leadership and cooperation — through the G20, BRICS, and South–South partnerships — and how this shift is transforming debates on trade, climate justice, technology, and governance. The episode also reflects on the challenges within the Global South itself, including internal inequalities, differing national interests, and the risk of reproducing old hierarchies in new ways.Despite the uncertainty of this “interregnum” moment, Dan closes with a message of cautious optimism — a politics of hope grounded in evidence. He highlights global progress in health, education, poverty reduction, and renewable energy, emphasizing that crises often generate creativity and collaboration. The episode sets the stage for a new season of conversations with scholars, activists, and policymakers who will explore how the Global South's choices — and the world's response — will shape the future of global development.

This episode is released to mark the International Day of Multilateralism and Diplomacy for Peace 2025. We invited Marie Hürlimann, Co-Director, and Raphaëlle Leung, Head of Communications of Foraus, a Swiss participatory think tank for young thinkers who want to shape tomorrow's foreign policy, to talk about the latest Foraus publication that they co-edited with Maximillian Rau: GenSouth - New voices from the Global South for the multilateral system of the future. GenSouth is a programme designed to bring together academics and think tank researchers from the Global South, aged between 25 and 35, to engage in discussions about the multilateralism of the future and to develop actionable, ambitious recommendations. Marie and Raphaëlle talk with Francesco Pisano, Director of the UN Library & Archives in Geneva, about the GenSouth project. They reveal to us four visions of possible futures of multilateralism elaborated in the report. GenSouth sees a world built on collective responsibility where the international community does not stand by in the violation of IHL; a reimagined South-South cooperation prioritising resilience, sustainability, and sovereignty; a transformation of the global financial architecture to empower vulnerable communities' access to climate finance; and Security Council reform for the inclusion of global south and the future of peace.

Donald Trump strongly feels that U.S. security alliances in Europe no longer serve Washington's long-term interest. In his view, the U.S. is being "ripped off" by wealthy countries that can afford to pay for their protection but choose to rely on the United States instead. He also says much the same thing about the U.S. military presence in Japan and South Korea. Curiously, though, the Philippines is different. U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth recently visited Manila and reaffirmed Washigton's "ironclad" commitment to protect the Southeast Asian country against "China's aggression." Ray Powell, director of the Sealight initiative at Stanford University's Gordian Knott Center for National Security Innovation and host of the "Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific Podcast," joins Eric and CGSP Southeast Asia Editor Edwin Shri Bimo to discuss why the national security team in Washington remains appears to be more committed to the Philippines than other alliance partners.

Jim and Ray welcome BowerGroupAsia CEO Ernie Bower to discuss how U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs will affect regional trade dynamics.Ernie explains Trump often uses tariffs and tariff threats to achieve both trade and non-economic objectives, this also creates significant uncertainty for American companies which must quickly adjust their strategies.He explains how investment in the U.S. had already been increasing due to incentives from the Inflation Reduction Act, but that countries are now looking for more ways to protect their own markets from U.S. tariffs.Ernie asserts that the geopolitical landscape is shifting toward “South-South” cooperation among the countries of Asia and Africa, and that companies are increasingly making manufacturing and investment decisions because of these geopolitical and geo-economic changes. He says that the technology and energy sectors have been leading the transition into new markets.Our podcast is produced by IEJ Media, sharing news that matters on statecraft & instruments of national power.Sponsored by BowerGroupAsia, a strategic advisory firm that specializes in the Indo-Pacific.
