Stitching up the world economy
As the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos debates this week the pathways to re-building connectivity in an increasingly fragmented world economy, regionalism appears to be singled out increasingly as both a trend and a key instrument to address such challenges[1]. So if the world economy is indeed becoming increasingly regionalized, then what are the mechanisms of bringing the economies of these regions and con... Read more »

🚨 TikTok’s new U.S. joint venture—protection or illusion of control?
🇺🇸 TikTok USDS Joint Venture LLC is now officially operational, following President Trump’s executive order. The company is majority U.S.-owned by Oracle, Silver Lake, and MGX, with ByteDance retaining 19.9%. While the partnership promises “national security,” the key algorithm remains under ByteDance’s control—licensed, not transferred.
🤔 If China still holds the algorithm’s core code, can the U.S. truly claim digital sovereignty? Could this model set a precedent for data governance across the Global South?

🌏 America’s surprising new mindset? Nearly half of Americans (47%) now believe China is already more powerful than the U.S. — or will be within the next five years. Even more striking, 62% say their lives wouldn’t get worse if that happened.
💭 This marks a major shift in U.S. public opinion — one that could reshape global perceptions of power, from Washington to Beijing and far beyond.
🔥 Do you think this signals acceptance of a multipolar world — or quiet resignation to decline?

🔥 France Told To Treat Toxic Masculinity As A Security Threat 🇫🇷
💡 A new report from France’s gender equality council warns that rising “masculinist” ideology – fuelled by online manosphere content and culture wars imported from the US – is no longer just about sexist jokes, but a potential driver of real-world violence and even terrorism. 😬
🌍 While France lags behind countries like Canada and the UK in treating extreme misogyny as part of counter‑extremism policy, similar trends are visible across the Global North and spilling into Global South online spaces.
⚠️ Should the so-called "toxic masculinism" be treated like violent extremism worldwide, and how is this ideology showing up in your country’s social media and politics?

🌍 Major diplomatic moment in Abu Dhabi! Ukraine, the US, and Russia just wrapped up what officials called “productive” talks — with more discussions set for tomorrow. Many are watching to see whether this rare dialogue signals a shift in global power dynamics or a diplomatic recalibration led by non-Western mediators like the UAE.
