Democracies of the world today are confronted with two significant #tech challenges: Authoritarian regimes’ determined pursuit for tech supremacy and the perils of the ‘#BigTech.’
.@LKCyber talks about how the world is coming to “terms with new #technology, social norms, evolving values, and competing new power structures” and presents five emerging domains of conflict.
How do we reconcile the aggressive, disruptive & footloose aspects of present-day #trade with a better, minimally fairer & more welfare-improving international version of the same practice?

The dominant and narrow perspective that the #pandemic was a biological problem requiring biomedical solutions at the individual level has been catastrophic.
#Raisina2022 | @Rory_Medcalf: The primary contest for the future of the #IndoPacific region is about preventing Chinese hegemony while avoiding catastrophic conflict.
"China’s aggressive territorial expansion gave rise to the #QUAD in the #IndoPacific and because #China has escalated its activities, the QUAD countries must show their strength."

.@LynnKuok: The #US has put working towards a common cause with its closest allies at the centre of advancing its national interest. The strength of the US as well as its partners matter.

Kwati Candith Mashego-Dlamini: In #SouthAfrica, we have space for #women & struggle side by side with men. #Women need to be seen as individuals. Empowerment of women is not a side agenda, but we need to focus on how we can help them have their own space & strength. #Raisina2022
