Nearly all the world’s governments and vast numbers of its people are convinced that addressing human-induced climate change is essential if healthy societies are to survive. The two solutions most often proposed go by various names but are widely known as “green growth” and “degrowth”. Can these ideas be reconciled? What do both have to say about the climate challenge?

Pemilu Indonesia selalu menghadirkan beragam fenomena menarik, mulai dari pencarian format koalisi yang dinamis, pengutamaan kepentingan elit, perubahan pola interaksi antar aktor yang terlihat kontras selama dan sesudah pemilu, hingga tren dinasti politik.
La présidence Macron a réactivé le procès des élites technocratiques françaises, de la défense de l’intérêt général et du devenir de la démocratie. La réforme de la haute fonction publique engageant la suppression de l’Ecole Nationale d’Administration (ENA) et son remplacement le 1er janvier 2022 par l’Institut national du service public (INSP) en est un exemple saillant.
John F. Kennedy retains an iconic status as an exemplary – even inspirational – public figure and his leadership approach has been influential for decades.
The UK supreme court has ruled against the government’s plan to deport some asylum seekers to Rwanda for processing. But this isn’t the end of the story – a version of the plan is likely to resurface in some form. The initial reactions from the prime minister, Rishi Sunak, and his new home secretary, James Cleverly, shed light on where the government plans to take this next.
Alors que les liens personnels entre les élites politiques françaises et africaines et l’existence de réseaux d’influence officiels et officieux des deux côtés de la Méditerranée ont longtemps été les garants d’une expertise française sur le continent africain, Paris a été surpris par la généralisation de l’hostilité populaire contre sa politique en Afrique, qui s’est notamment manifestée par la rupture des partenariats de sécurité avec trois des cinq pays du G5 Sahel. Force est de constater que les autorités françaises ont été incapables d’anticiper cette évolution tendancielle ainsi que les putschs qui se sont succédé à un rythme accéléré en Afrique francophone depuis 2020.

Much of the news coverage of the discussions and negotiations aimed at averting a government shutdown on Nov. 17, 2023, relies on pundits and their unnamed sources, on leaks, speculation, wishful thinking and maybe even the reading of tea leaves. The Conversation tapped an expert on congressional behavior, Northwestern University political scientist Laurel Harbridge-Yong, and asked her what she sees when she looks at the prolonged trouble Congress has had over the past few years coming to agreement on the debt ceiling and spending to keep the government open. Harbridge-Yong is a specialist in partisan conflict and the lack of bipartisan agreement in American politics, so her expertise is tailor-made for the moment.
The lopsidedness was stark: 120 countries voted in favor of a resolution before the United Nations on Oct. 26, 2023, calling for a “humanitarian truce” in the war in Gaza. A mere 14 countries voted against it.
