Here the first season’s final episode of the Good Humanitarian where Rod Mena and myself discuss the politics and practices of neutrality in humanitarian action. Listen, while we prepare the next season.

In this discussion, we aim to bring together diverse voices to analyze and debate the landscape that seems to mark a shift in humanitarian action and peacebuilding, presenting new challenges and opportunities.

The announcement of the dismantling of USAID programs worldwide has raised alarm within the humanitarian system and its various actors.

Trump aplica terapia de choque para asegurarle a esa potencia en decadencia su hegemonía en el planeta. Para ello, tritura valores e instituciones vitales de la democracia liberal… desde el poder de una plutocracia insaciable: Cristina De la Torre www.elespectador.com/opinion/colu...

Exacto, y cómo lo diría la gran colega @JimenaHurtado, todo depende también de las preferencias de quien toma decisiones para el diseño de política pública.

Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will, without guarantee!!

La efectividad del relato anti-woke Los partidarios de Trump impusieron y controlaron el marco del debate. Incluso medios progresistas lo asumieron sin cuestionar su validez.

El relato anti-woke es efectivo porque la superficialidad es un problema de época. Es funcional (a los machirulos), superficial (ideal para haraganes) y cómodo (para el status quo) pero no se basa en ninguna evidencia sólida. elestadista.com.ar/internaciona...
