We celebrate 9 full months of Disorder with a live studio recording. Climate change hasn't been acted on coherently by a coalition of major powers, while certain governments and businesses have prevented climate action choosing to pursue short-term goals. Is this to be expected? Is it rational for some governments and business to pull in different directions or are they missing the plot and thinking too short-term?    But then again, is it in the long-term interest of most major states, citizens, and multinational corporations to work together to fight climate change? Or is it actually a rational calculation for certain states or corporations (like oil producing ones) to fight the creation of global coordination mechanisms and delay the energy transition and look to profit from the current high demand for the fossil fuels that they either export or produce?    To discuss this issue, Jason Pack is joined by Olivia Azadegan and Hassan Damluji.    Hassan Damluji is a British-Iraqi development expert and author of The Responsible Globalist: What Citizens of the World Can Learn from Nationalism. He is Co-founder of Global Nation, which focuses on improving international cooperation to combat climate change, pandemics, inequality and conflict. Olivia Azadegan is a British-Iranian, a fellow at the Women Leaders in Energy and Climate Change at the Atlantic Council and a winner of a Forbes 30 under 30 Award.    The trio discuss: what is the role of the MENA region in fighting climate change, how can nations effectively coordinate to incentivise each other to act now, and why low hanging fruit like reducing methane emissions could help us Order the Disorder.    Twitter: @DisorderShow    Subscribe to our Substack: https://natoandtheged.substack.com/     Website: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/     Producer: George McDonagh  Exec Producer: Neil Fearn    Show Notes Links    Listen to our previous Climate Change focusing on COP episode at: https://pod.link/1706818264/episode/57a09a9714313530fa16475c09396f7b     For more on COP and collective action:  https://www.economist.com/leaders/2023/12/13/in-a-first-cop28-targets-the-root-cause-of-climate-change     How MENA countries face achieving climate resilience: https://carnegieendowment.org/research/2024/04/assessing-climate-adaptation-plans-in-the-middle-east-and-north-africa?lang=en     Exploring the Energy Transition and Net-Zero Strategies of Gulf Oil Producers: https://www.bakerinstitute.org/research/exploring-energy-transition-and-net-zero-strategies-gulf-oil-producers     A profile of our Queen for an episode: https://www.forbes.com/profile/olivia-azadegan/     Learn more about your ad choices.

“A flourishing democracy next door is a scary thing for an autocrat,” says Ukrainian historian Olesya Khromeychuk. Detailing the history of Ukraine's long struggle for sovereignty and freedom — against Russian tsars, communist dictators and now the Kremlin's army — she shares three lessons anybody can use to join the global fight for democracy.

"I think you can apply this idea of consent culture to families, friends, leisure groups, anywhere, if you want." On Friday 13 October 2023, Tilburg's Circus Festival Circolo will open with a seminar on the premises of the Fontys University of Applied Sciences. Keynote speaker at that seminar is Sabine Marringer. She comes with a special message, she announces: "I sent a friend the outline of my speech and he said, 'Whoa, you'll shock those people.' Now, some will already be shocked by Sabine Marringer's CV. After college, she became a circus acrobat, but now has a thriving practice as a professional sex worker. As a 'dominatrix' in a practice run and staffed by women, she is the one who can tell the circus world about 'concentricity'. Because there is quite a lack of that, it turns out: "I spoke to someone who organises sex-positive parties in Vienna. There I give workshops to introduce newcomers to BDSM. When I told about my previous life as a circus performer. He was stunned to hear that there was no 'consent' culture in the circus. She said: 'You are so physical, you are so close. You also share so much intimacy. Not only by sharing the body, but also your thoughts, imagination and space. Why don't you have that?' I had no answer at that moment and I realised: this is the missing link to create a safe space to make the circus environment better." A 'no' shouldn't hurt anymore Marringer also knows how to do that: "We have to talk about it. If I can use it in my daily practice as a dominatrix, everyone can apply it in daily professional practice. Consent culture takes time and a willingness to think about your own limits and needs." She says this certainly applies to how we deal with criticism: "It also takes courage in a society where we are asked to say yes to mean no. What makes consent culture so difficult is that receiving a 'no' can hurt. But we need to change our perception of receiving a no. A 'no' is always an opportunity to take action and reshape a given situation."

Jarrod and Oli discuss the bubble economy that lifted Japan in the 1980s and burst dramatically in the early 1990s. We dive into the book “Japanization: What the World Can Learn from Japan's Lost Decades” by Bloomberg columnist William Pesek.We learn about the speculation of real estate and the stock market, the keiretsu phenomenon, the low-interest rate environment, government debt, and lessons other countries can take from Japan's case. These lessons reflect quite well on the post-covid bubble era we are living in today. We also learn why Japan's urban areas have such low-quality buildings with poor aesthetics.To make a difference here in Japan, we need to understand where we are coming from. We hope you enjoy studying this history with us, as it is helping to prepare us for challenges in Japan's 21st-century economy.Please visit our Patreon page where you can sign up for just $2 a month!Your contributions help us with production costs and the time required to record and edit podcasts and organize interviews.

At least for as long as The Apprentice has been on air, our lives have been filled with such phrases as ‘smash it!', ‘knocking it out of the ballpark', ‘doing it for the team', ‘absolute home run!', ‘MVP' etc. However there are some legitimate ways running a business is very much like sports psychology; so given the Commonwealth Games are well underway in Birmingham, we thought we'd take a little look into the concept. Just like in sport, running a business is a marathon, not a sprint. You'll have to train, get your business fit, constantly overcome obstacles, and you may not necessarily win the gold. However, judging business success is different for everyone. Some see ‘success' as being multi-award winners, and then proudly showing off the fact via social media etc. But sometimes in business, awards aren't the be all and end all - especially when some awards are merely ‘bought', in cynical terms. So if you're not an ‘award winner', does that mean you or your business are ‘failures'? Far from it. Same goes for business networking - there are common tropes that go along with networking that some people still carry to this day - concepts like having ‘competition' in the room, and some being put off by that. Whereas in more cases than not, there will be common ground and complimentary skillsets that will enable collaboration; creating a new ‘team'. So have a listen, and see what else the Commonwealth Games can teach the business community.

As countries around the world, including the U.S., confront rising authoritarianism, one country may offer insight into how democracy can triumph over minority rule.South Africa was supposed to go up in flames when Nelson Mandela became president in 1994. White people feared that the Black majority would take their revenge on those who long oppressed them.Instead, Mandela oversaw a peaceful transition to democracy. A quarter century after that negotiated transfer of power, a multiracial democracy took root and blossomed.I witnessed this remarkable democratic transformation when I reported from South Africa in the late 1990s and wrote a book about the transition from apartheid.Evan Lieberman offers a fresh take on South Africa's journey to democracy in his new book, “Until We Have Won Our Liberty: South Africa After Apartheid.” Lieberman is a total professor of political science and contemporary Africa at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.“At this time when the idea of democracy is under assault, South Africa shows us that (democracy) is still a really promising and probably our best political solution, particularly in diverse societies,” Lieberman said. South Africa offers “a reminder that we can solve our problems through a combination of elections, good institutions, deliberation and a public spiritedness that is intrinsic to democratic practice.”

China promised a "simple, safe, and splendid" Beijing Olympics. While the elaborate, anti-COVID measures at the 2022 Winter Games were far from simple, organizers managed to put on a show, even amid the constrained circumstances of a global health crisis. There's also no doubt that the event was safe. COVID-19 has been surging around the world, fueled by the more contagious Omicron variant. On Dec. 27, just over a month before the Winter Games began, global daily COVID-19 cases hit a record 1.

When you hear the word ‘K-Pop', you may think of talented singers with bright hair and unrivaled dance moves. At some point during the past year, you may have taken a dive into the K-Pop side of ‘stan Twitter' (where millions of accounts of K-Pop superfans reside), and seen countless fancams of BLACKPINK's Jisoo or BTS's Jimin, littered under top trending hashtags. On that day, without realising it, you may have been witnessing an online activism campaign - disguised under vibrant outfits and hypnotic choreographies.

The great divide between nationalists and globalists is the political story of our times. But are they that far apart?

As a result of measures taken nearly everywhere to curb the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, the world is facing a major economic contraction. According to Conference Board estimates, global GDP growth will be -4.8 percent in 2020. To counter the shock, governments are laying down large-scale fiscal programs which will substantially increase public debt. At the same time, central banks are restarting QE programs and, where possible, lowering interest rate. At this stage of the COVID-19 crisis it looks like high debt levels, low interest rates and deflation are here to stay. Is the world economy heading towards a “Japanization” of their economies?

Costa Rica is the only full-fledged and totally independent country to be entirely demilitarized. Its military was abolished in 1948, with the keys to the armory handed to the Department of Education. Socially, Costa Rica is a success story. Although 94th in the world for GDP, it is in the top 10 on various measurements of health and well-being. Citizens enjoy high standards of living that include universal access to healthcare, education, and pensions. In addition, the country practices sustainable resource management, such as reforestation and the development of solar and wind power, and it expects to be carbon neutral by 2020. Hunting is illegal. 25% of the landmass is parks and reserves. The government supports universal health care, especially maternal and child health. Costa Rica even has a Blue Zone, an area where people live extraordinarily long, healthy lives. To some extent, Costa Rica is simply lucky: it was largely inaccessible, and it had virtually no precious minerals, therefore it was mostly spared the ravages of predatory colonialism. The Costa Rican people made very good social decisions, ranging from an avowed commitment to social democracy at the national level, to local land distribution to develop stable middle class farmers. But Costa Rica's neighbors have not enjoyed nearly as much peace and prosperity. As Judith Eve Lipton and David P. Barash argue in Strength through Peace: How Demilitarization Led to Peace and Happiness in Costa Rica, and What the Rest of the World Can Learn from a Tiny Tropical Nation (Oxford University Press, 2019), is unlikely that Costa Rica's demilitarization and its remarkable social success are coincidental; clearly, something special is going on. Through good luck, good leadership, and good decisions, Costa Rica has become arguably the sanest and most progressive country on earth. This book examines how and why Costa Rica is safe and independent without any military at all, and what the rest of us can learn from its success.

Costa Rica is the only full-fledged and totally independent country to be entirely demilitarized. Its military was abolished in 1948, with the keys to the armory handed to the Department of Education. Socially, Costa Rica is a success story. Although 94th in the world for GDP, it is in the top 10 on various measurements of health and well-being. Citizens enjoy high standards of living that include universal access to healthcare, education, and pensions. In addition, the country practices sustainable resource management, such as reforestation and the development of solar and wind power, and it expects to be carbon neutral by 2020.

Among a lot of things that the world can learn from India other than the rich culture is how we Indians use the scarcely available resources wisely. No, we don't have an abundance of resources and the supply is never high enough for the demand. But we all co-exist. In this episode, I talk about the some common practices followed in our desi households which, if the world adapts, could prove so much more sustainable for our planet. From bathing with just a bucket full of water instead of showers to making use of waste fabrics available at home instead of paper towels, Indians live a life with minimal waste and thats something the world must learn from us.  Check out more episodes from Culture Chaos where I share stories of my experiences trying to navigate life away from India.
