[ad_1] Recent years have demonstrated that geopolitical developments can impact financial markets, but Silvia Pepino argues that the interaction between geopolitics and market dynamics is more fluid in strength and direction, and better understood through an International Political Economy lens than event-driven framing. In recent years, geopolitical developments, marked by greater fragmentation, geoeconomic competition, and episodes of conflict, have impacted financial market variables more than many investors had become accustomed to in earlier decades of a more stable and integrated world order. What is less widely recognised is that the relationship is not necessarily unidirectional. Increased market pressures can in turn influence…
[ad_1] In February 2023, Global Witness filed a complaint with the US Securities and Exchange Commission against Shell. The issue was not a breach of law, but a gap between Shell’s stated sustainability commitments and its actual investment practices. In its 2021 annual report, Shell indicated that 12 per cent of its capital expenditure was directed toward renewable energy. However, internal data suggested that only around 1.5 per cent was allocated to solar and wind, with the remainder grouped under “transition energy”. It shows how a disconnect between promise and operational reality can emerge, persist through internal processes, and reach…
[ad_1] Can green hydrogen escape the geopolitics of fossil fuels? MSc IR student Anjjali Shrivastav argues that power is shifting from control of resources to control of the rules governing hydrogen markets. As major economies set competing regulatory frameworks, developing producer countries face rising costs and limited influence — risking a transition that reproduces global inequalities in a new form. Green hydrogen is often presented as the clean break that will finally end the geopolitics of fossil fuels. Renewable energy, unlike oil and gas, is far more widely distributed. No single country possesses a monopoly over sunlight or wind in…
[ad_1] How should businesses respond as geopolitics moves to the centre of decision-making? Silvia Pepino argues it is now a structural, systemic and strategic force reshaping how firms assess risk, value and opportunity. As global fragmentation deepens, geopolitical pressures are influencing supply chains, finance, technology and investment – making them central to long-term business strategy. Geopolitics is emerging as a major concern for business leaders and investors. This is reflected, for example, in global risk surveys, and in measures of geopolitical uncertainty. As geopolitical uncertainty rises, mirroring what has been referred to as the “return of history”, businesses and investors…

[ad_1] Zarna Garg, a popular Indian comedian with a global fan base and nearly 2 million Instagram followers, rarely discusses her decision to perform at last year’s controversial Riyadh Comedy Festival in Saudi Arabia, but that changed during a new appearance on Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown podcast series as Garg connected it to a higher calling. “I really went with the spirit of if I’ve been ordained to do this by somebody, some higher power, it is my job to spread the message and to let women know that they can say what comes to their mind,” she told Bialik. “That…

[ad_1] Braun Strowman has a huge appetite for life. Speaking with “The Monster Among Men” in a Greenwich Village coffee shop ahead of his season-two launch party, a few things are immediately obvious. First, Adam Scherr (“WWE Icon” Strowman’s real name) is every bit as big as he’s billed, and second, he loves this food thing maybe even more than wrestling. You don’t get to 6’8″ and nearly 400 lb. (Scherr’s biggest) without doing a fair bit of eating. But to talk with the TV veterans around the USA Network series is to learn that Scherr is a legit foodie…
