While shells are still raining down on Ukraine, Putin’s belligerent-buddy Xi has been spouting ever-more jingoistic rhetoric vis-à-vis Taiwan. In light of an increasingly complex geopolitical context, it is, thus, time that Europe starts preparing a response to China's potential invasion of Taiwan. However, as this essay will show, the constraints deriving from the EU’s climate policies have put it in dire Straits to do so.

Once the pioneer of lab-grown meat, the Netherlands has since lost its head start in the field due to legal and cultural hurdles. However, in recent months, the Dutch House of Representatives passed a resolution to allow the tasting of cultured meat under controlled conditions, a mandatory measure to gain approval by the European Food Standards Authority (EFSA). The government is also to invest 60 million euros in cellular agriculture, a budding industry described as the “next major revolution” equivalent to moving from horse and cart to the automobile. Securing a local and sustainable protein alternative is more crucial than ever, with threats from climate change, the war in Ukraine, and the pandemic disrupting the food supply chain.

In a span of several months, Musk went through almost all stages of what it means to be a shareholder in a publicly-traded company. After arranging a $46.5 billion financial package for Twitter's acquisition, Elon is experiencing buyer's remorse as he questions the company's honesty regarding bot and spam users. Is the alleged bot problem as serious as he claims it to be, or is it nothing more than gaining leverage to sn**ch Twitter at a bargain? Does Twitter fit in with Musk's vision for the future, and what is his plan for the social media company?

April 21, In the aftermath of the French Presidential Debate, in a small library room at the Roeterseiland campus, two engaging teams went head to head and debated the ideas of the two candidates for the French elections. Many pertinent subjects, addressed similarly during the Presidential debate, were touched upon during this intense discussion, ranging from purchasing power and the Covid-19 crisis to secularism and growing security issues. Four days after the debate, the results were alleviating and a collective sigh of relief was heard across Europe.

Using social media platforms such as Instragram to politically engage with issues of global significance by clicking the share-to-story button comes with noble intentions. However, keeping political engagement limited to our screens without engaging in participation offline has dangerous implications for the healthy functioning of democracies. Is social media activism really a legitimate form of protest? Or is it merely a form of protest born out of privilege to appease our conscience without truly having to engage?

The war in Ukraine has shown the democratic West how ruthless and destructive Putin and his authoritarian regime can be. Ukraine, a country increasingly turning towards western politics and becoming a reasonable candidate to join the European Union, is now directly facing a humanitarian crisis, invaded and destroyed. For Russia, the threat of an independent and democratic Ukraine was too big to ignore, as the wave of democracy has already spilled over to the Russian borders and citizens. The goal of Putin is clear: Crush the democratic spirit channeled, showing both the Russian people and the world the superiority of his regime as compared to the democratic ideal. Western democratic nations have come to realize that to save the face of democracy, they will have to confront Putin and his authoritarian ruling. Yet, the struggle against authoritarianism is also very much apparent on the western democratic front.

Following the events of World War II, and desperate to rebuild the global economy, an effort was made amongst the Allied nations to conceive a post-war order. The culmination of these efforts birthed two new transnational financial institutions: The World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

Since then, the post-colonial world has shifted its attitude, demanding greater accountability from these institutions. Recipient countries have suffered from the IMF's colonial mentality, and are continuing to spiral into a never-ending loan-debt cycle, exacerbated by the Fund’s conditionalities on its loans that seem to do more harm than good. Will the IMF continue to impose its financial conditions or must it fundamentally restructure to survive in the future?

In recent months we have often heard the words “approaching recession” being thrown around in the media. Although recessions occur naturally – on average, once every four years – they have a strong negative connotation for most of us. This article evaluates this claim with reference to 3 key economic regions.

“Dream Empire”, a documentary set in China between 2012 and 2014, narrates the economic collapse of the Chinese real estate industry and reflects on the language of development through changing social dynamics of Yana and David, the two main characters. Yana is the co-founder of a foreigner agency that employs foreigners who came to China to seek work. She is a migrant from the Xianxiang province who came to Chonqing to seek employment, a region in 2012 that showed high economic development, primarily due to its booming real estate sector. In the rest of the article, I will explain how the financial consequences in China in the documentary are reflected in the political and social spheres.

As China's role as an international financier is becoming more and more pronounced, many in the West are growing wary of a potential Chinese 'debt trap' - channeling funds to developing countries as a means to intentionally overwhelm them with debt and so attain influence when these poor countries default. This article takes a closer look at the other side of this narrative, delving into one case of a controversial Sri Lankan port as a case study into the debt-trap narrative.

Spanish dictator Francisco Franco long subjugated the Spanish people to Putinistic tyranny. After his death, however, La Transición Española swiftly transformed the country into a liberal democracy. Russia is no Spain, and Putin is no Franco. Nevertheless, I believe that Putin’s unfathomably miscalculated war will pave the way for the Perekhodnyy period v Rossi that democratizes Russia in the 2020s.

Major news outlets reported that the world is experiencing an energy crisis due to the surging prices of energy resources. In recent years, the trend of sustainability has been prevalent across all industries including the traditional energy industries like oil and natural gas. The will of Big Oil to transition to renewables is evident but when it comes to action the majority are hesitant, citing lower returns from renewables as a barrier repelling investors from the financial institutions.

In February 2022 Beijing became the first-ever city to host both the Winter and Summer Olympic Games. While there were many successes for individual athletes, the Olympics this year was shrouded with controversies, from the strict handling of the coronavirus to the ongoing human rights abuses in Xinjiang. Moreover, the USA and a dozen other countries declared a diplomatic boycott of the games, where ministers from respective governments did not attend but athletes did. One might ask how athletes fit into such a highly politicized, international sporting event, especially those who share cultural ties with diplomatically clashing countries, such as China and the US. The competition shed light on the unique challenges of belonging and the organization of one’s bicultural identity for Chinese-Americans.

On October 31st, 2021, years of negotiation between the members of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD)/G20 inclusive framework on tax base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS) finally materialised in a new agreement in the form of a global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% that is set to take action by 2023. The agreement marks a significant development in the field of international taxation and will have far reaching implications for multinational enterprises (MNEs) and governments all over the world. So far 137 countries have agreed to the global minimum corporate tax rate of 15% which will be a key player in counteracting tax avoidance by setting a floor on tax competition. This way multinationals can no longer escape taxation through profit shifting and base erosion, which is said to generate an additional $150 billion in global tax revenue per year.
