The OTS includes Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Uzbekistan; Turkmenistan and Hungary are OTS observer members. The growing cooperation between these states since Russia launched its full-scale war in Ukraine accelerated in 2024, in such sectors as investment, trade, transport, energy, and security. Joining host Bruce Pannier to look at developments in the OTS are guests Assel Tutumlu, a lecturer at the International Relations and Political Science Department at the Near East University in Cyprus, and Johan Engvall, from the Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies (SCEEUS), based at the Swedish Institute of International Affairs.

Bald zwei Jahre nach Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs fehlt es der Ukraine nicht nur an Waffen, sondern zunehmend auch an Soldatinnen und Soldaten. Kiew will deshalb mit einem neuen Gesetz die Mobilisierung forcieren. Das habe in der Ukraine zu einem sehr heftigen Streit geführt, sagt Andreas Umland, Analyst beim Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies. Weitere Themen: (06:36) Ukraine streitet um Rekrutierung neuer Soldaten (13:27) Nordeuropa steht unter Kälteschock (16:42) Das Geschäft mit Brot ist hart (21:06) Altes Skigebiet in San Bernardino in neuem Glanz
Die Krim sei für Russland „heilig“, sagt Putin ein ums andere Mal. Die Krim werde zurück erobert, hält der ukrainische Präsident Selenski dagegen. Klar ist: Beide Seiten können es nicht hinnehmen, dass die Halbinsel unter der Kontrolle des jeweils anderen steht. Die annektierte Halbinsel ist für Moskau militärisch und ideologisch bedeutsam. Doch anhaltende ukrainische Angriffe schwächen die russische Position auf der Krim. Wie groß ist dort das Eskalationspotential? Und bröckelt nach 18 Monaten Krieg die Unterstützung des Westens für die Ukraine? Martin Durm diskutiert mit PD Dr. M. Marcus Keupp, Dozent Militärökonomie, Militärakademie an der ETH Zürich Dr. Andreas Umland, Politologe, Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies Prof. Dr. Gwendolyn Sasse, Wissenschaftliche Direktorin Zentrum für Osteuropa – und internationale Studien, Berlin

How did the first newspaper in Macau come into being? What was the first foreign language newspaper on Chinese soil about? How was the dynamic between the Chinese and Portuguese press in the former Portuguese colony and now China's Special Administrative Region? Hugo Pinto speaks about A Abelha da China (A Bee from China), the first newspaper in Macau, operated from September 1822 to August 1823. In a conversation with Joanne Kuai, PhD candidate at Karlstad University, Sweden, and an affiliated PhD student at NIAS, Hugo Pinto speaks about the book project on A Abelha da China to commemorate it 200th anniversary. Co-edited with Duarte Drumond Braga, the book A Abelha da China nos seus 200 Anos. Casos, Personagens e Confrontos na Experiência Liberal de Macau (The China Bee in its 200 Years. Cases, Characters and Confrontations in the Liberal Experience of Macau) was published by the Scientific and Cultural Center of Macau in 2022. Reflecting the complete historical background of its time, A Abelha da China would be taken up by other political agents. However, its legacy of insubordination would eventually live on. A newspaper that served as an official bulletin, and also as an arena for political confrontation, did not neglect a cultural and even literary dimension, as it carried within itself the mission of instructing its readers and denouncing the absolutist tyranny that, later, in reflux, would take over the newspaper itself.

The cost of Ukrainian victory will be high, and there are many voices calling for peace, as the full-scale war that started in February 2022 approaches its first anniversary. But peace at any price is surely rewards the aggressor, rather than the victim, and may just provide Russia with a breathing space to rearm and reignite the assault in years to come. So, what would need to happen for negotiations to be meaningful, and for a lasting peace to be found, that is equitable and sensitive to the victim.

Russia's war of aggression started in 2014 against Ukraine and has escalated significantly this year. But the attempts to control, coerce and dominate Ukraine have far deeper roots. In this video Andreas Umland and I examine the deep causes of the war, going back into Russia's imperialist past with one of the world's foremost experts on Russian international relations and politics. We will also explore how this conflict might end, based on Russia's past military triumphs, defeats, and revolutions.

India has recently surpassed the United Kingdom to become the fifth largest economy in the world, standing directly behind the US, China, Japan and Germany. As its GDP growth is estimated to be between 8% to 10.5%, India is certainly rising into the ranks of stable economic growth like China succeeded to do in the 1990s. But what do these two countries have in common, and what do their bilateral relations mean for the rest of the world? In this podcast, Giuseppe Porcaro invites Alicia García-Herrero, Senior fellow at Bruegel and Jagannath Panda, Head of the Stockholm Centre for South Asian and Indo-Pacific Affairs, to discuss the growing importance of China-India relations, and why they matter for Europe and the rest of the world.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has announced the annexation of four Ukrainian regions that make up nearly a fifth of the whole country's territory. Earlier this week, the regions of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson voted overwhelmingly to formally join the Russian federation. But the referendum was denounced by most of the west, with allegations that residents had been pressured to approve Russia's annexation. Türkiye, which has been mediating between Kiev and Moscow, has called for dialogue and diplomacy to settle this latest crisis and the overall conflict. So what impact will the referendum and annexation have? Guests: Amanda Paul Senior Policy Analyst at the European Policy Centre Andreas Umland Analyst at Stockholm Centre for Eastern European Studies

When did the Cold War in East Asia really begin? According to ADI-NIAS researcher Kuan-Jen Chen, the answer is 1945 – if we view the Cold War through a maritime lens. In conversation with NIAS Director Duncan McCargo, KJ explains how he is using Japanese and Taiwanese sources to gain a more nuanced perspective on East Asian Cold War maritime history, which is far from a simple narrative of American naval dominance. KJ also discusses the relevance of the Cold War context to understanding recent geostrategic developments in the region, and why he is trying to put international historians into a more fruitful dialogue with scholars of international relations. Kuan-Jen Chen (https://kjchen.net/) is the Asian Dynamics Initiative-Nordic Institute of Asian Studies Postdoctoral Fellow in Asian Studies at the University of Copenhagen. He has published articles in various journals including Cold War History and the Journal of American-East Asian Relations. KJ is currently completing a book based on his Cambridge PhD, entitled The Making of America's Maritime Order in Cold War East Asia: Sovereignty, Local Interests, and International Security. KJ was recently jointly awarded Taiwan's 2021 Openbook Award in Translation for his co-translation into Chinese of Barak Kushner's Men to Devils, Devils to Men: Japanese War Crimes and Chinese Justice, Harvard 2015 (see NBN podcast here).

Although autocratic forms of rule have a longer history in postcolonial South Asia, the slide towards autocratization has arguably accelerated in recent years, albeit unevenly. In this episode Kenneth Bo Nielsen is joined by Sten Widmalm to discuss his new edited book, The Routledge Handbook of Autocratization in South Asia. Widmalm offers a comprehensive analysis of the processes and actors contributing to this, as well as issues of state power, the support for political parties, the role of civil society, questions of equality and political culture, and more. This innovative handbook spanning 400 pages is the first to describe and to explain ongoing trends of autocratization in South Asia, demonstrating that drivers of political change also work across boundaries. It will be published on 31 December, 2021, and can be downloaded for free in its entirety here. Sten Widmalm is professor of political science at Uppsala University and a leading Nordic scholar of Indian democracy and politics.

Several high-profile cases of sexual harassment and assault have helped the #MeToo movement in China continue to make impacts on a society that is highly controlled and surveilled. Most recently, tennis star Peng Shuai's saga has accused former top Chinese Communist Party leader, Zhang Gaoli of sexual assault. Although Peng did not say that she is part of the #MeToo movement, her speaking out has given fresh impetus to the campaign.

How does China's economic, political, and military support for the Wa factor into the Chinese Belt and Road Initiative? What role might the Wa play in the unfolding political crisis in the wake of the February 1, 2021 coup in Myanmar, and Covid-19 pandemic? In this episode, Bertil Lintner discusses these topics and more, related to his recent book The Wa of Myanmar and China's Quest For Global Dominance from NIAS Press (2021).

How is childhood experienced in the slums of Bangkok and how does it relate to socio-political processes in Thailand? What role do mothers play in the leadership of the slums? And how can we understand recent mass protests in Thailand through the lens of children's activism? Giuseppe Bolotta gives insights into his recently published book Belittled Citizens: The Cultural Politics of Childhood on Bangkok's Margins (NIAS Press, 2021). This study explores the daily lives, constraints and social worlds of children born in the slums of Bangkok. It examines how slum children define themselves – and are defined by others – in relation to a range of governing technologies, state and non-state actors, and broad cultural politics.

Giuseppe Bolotta is Assistant Professor in the Department of Asian and North African Studies at the Ca' Foscari University of Venice and Research Associate at the National University of Singapore's Asia Research Institute.
