In his book, Yuval Noah Harari explains how information networks have shaped human history, societal structures, and power dynamics.

He challenges the notion of information as truth, arguing that it creates “formations”—networks that drive human interaction and societal order. Harari examines the role of myths, bureaucracy, and algorithms in these networks, highlighting the shift from inter-subjective beliefs to AI-driven realities.

Kristen Hopewell’s “Clash of Powers: US-China Rivalry in Global Trade Governance” examines how China’s economic ascent challenges U.S. dominance in global trade governance.

Using extensive research, including 200 interviews and WTO archives, Hopewell highlights the “China paradox”—China’s dual role as a developing nation and a global economic powerhouse.

The book explores how this rivalry disrupts multilateral systems like the WTO and OECD, leading to gridlock in areas such as agricultural subsidies, fisheries, and export credits.

The relationship between India and Canada, once marked by shared democratic values and robust diplomatic ties, has significantly deteriorated in recent years.

Central to the rift is the June 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a pro-Khalistan Sikh separatist labeled a terrorist by India. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Indian agents of orchestrating the murder, citing intelligence reports.

This allegation ignited a diplomatic standoff, with both countries expelling diplomats and suspending visa and trade negotiations.

Sugarcane, a vital crop cultivated in over 125 countries, holds immense global significance as a feedstock for sugar, ethanol, and bioenergy.

While Brazil leads the industry with high yields, advanced technologies, and efficient by-product utilization, Pakistan lags due to outdated machinery, low yields, and water mismanagement.

Despite its climatic suitability and vast labor force, Pakistan has a long way to go when it comes to maximizing its sugarcane production.

By learning from top producers like Brazil, India, and Thailand, Pakistan can modernize its practices, enhance exports, and maximize the potential of its sugarcane by-products.
