Many countries have built walls and barriers along their borders for various reasons, including protecting national security, preventing illegal immigration, and separating conflicting ethnic or religious groups. Walls have been constructed between Mexico and the US, Morocco and Western Sahara, India and Pakistan, Korea, and elsewhere. However, the wall built by Israel to separate from Palestinian territories is uniquely called "the wall of shame" despite evidence that it has significantly reduced suicide bombings within Israel.

The document discusses many border walls and barriers that have been constructed around the world for various reasons such as protecting against illegal immigration, disease, or hostile neighbors. It notes walls built by Morocco, South Korea, India, Botswana, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Thailand, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, and between the US and Mexico. It questions the labeling of Israel's border barrier as a "wall of shame" given its effectiveness in reducing suicide bombings by over 98% within protected areas.
La Unión Europea ha acordado un embargo petrolero contra Rusia en respuesta a la invasión de Ucrania. El embargo prohibirá las importaciones marítimas de petróleo ruso a la UE y pondrá fin a las entregas a través de oleoductos dentro de seis meses. Esta medida forma parte de un sexto paquete de sanciones de la UE destinadas a aumentar la presión económica sobre Moscú y privar al Kremlin de fondos para financiar su guerra.

This 3 sentence document describes a red painting or artifact from Lalish, Shikhan from an unknown year. It credits the Wednesday celebration to Shikh Jalal.
The document summarizes Andy Stirling's work at SPRU related to building back better after COVID-19, including research on vaccine innovation, diagnostic testing, data governance for testing apps, lessons from past pandemics according to the WHO, challenges of the pandemic for transformation, structural change for UN agencies, steering innovation pathways for UNDP, governance of expertise in science and politics for COVID-19, modeling lessons for public policy, science politics and governance around pandemics, power and politics in science and innovation, a new book on politics of uncertainty in transformation, how the pandemic highlights a modern fallacy of control, and leading a cross-campus initiative on a post-pandemic university.
The document discusses the work of the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) in responding to the Covid-19 pandemic through research and knowledge sharing. It outlines three key areas of focus: 1) Engaging social science expertise to support the pandemic response, 2) Research on "Building Back Better" through scenarios and briefings on public health, gender, social protection and governance, and 3) Reorienting many existing IDS research programmes and projects to cover the wider implications of the pandemic such as on informal settlements, governance at the margins, agriculture policy and more.

The Centre for International Education (CIE) at the University of Sussex researches issues relating to education in the global south, including governance, policy, pedagogy, and inequality. Over 170 doctoral students and 500 master's students have graduated from CIE programs. CIE's research with governments, NGOs, and international organizations aims to explore how COVID-19 is exacerbating educational inequalities and disrupting systems. The document outlines CIE's work highlighting pandemic-related issues like private/public divides, gender/race, and the disruption of education in conflict that many in the global south face regularly.
The document discusses the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI), which promotes transparency around oil, gas, and mineral resource extraction. It notes that many resource-dependent countries are facing fiscal crises due to falling commodity prices and the COVID-19 pandemic. The EITI establishes a global standard for transparency and accountability in the extractives sector. It requires disclosure of payments, contracts, production data, and more. Implementing countries set up multi-stakeholder groups to oversee EITI implementation and ensure data is communicated to the public. The EITI is working to expand transparency to new areas like commodity trading, subnational revenue distribution, and environmental reporting.
The SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) potentially offer an inclusive, integrated approach to development, centred on social justice, for all of humanity. But how are they being implemented in practice? Too often a piece-meal, sectoral approach is adopted, rooted in modernist assumptions of linear transition and control.

The project of development is very much implicated in the production of climate change, as well as how it has been managed to date. But can the development sector also help to bring about the sorts of transformations now required to prevent climate chaos?
This lecture looks at the intertwined histories of development and climate change and argues that only a very different approach to development can help to address the climate crisis we currently face.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
