  The Gates Foundation is the most influential private philanthropic foundation in global health and development. This article examines how the Foundation has developed an unparalleled capacity to rally other donors to its priorities, which include the development and distribution of technological tools to reduce the burden of infectious disease and child mortality in the world¡¯s most impoverished regions. Using publicly available data, the article analyses the Gates Foundation¡¯s strategic engagement in Europe, focusing on its bureaucratic presence, government relations, and grant-making in its three European focus countries: the United Kingdom (UK), Germany and France. It highlights that, since 2010, the Gates Foundation has built a bureaucratic infrastructure akin to a diplomatic service, establishing country offices in London and Berlin alongside representation in Paris, Brussels and Stockholm. Through regular engagement with elected officials and bureaucrats in these nations, the Foundation has forged many strategic partnerships, effectively leveraging European states¡¯ diplomatic power in wider political forums and alliances. Moreover, the Foundation has disbursed billions in grants to recipients in the UK, Germany, and France to advance research and innovation on its priority health issues, implement programs in poor countries, and develop policy and advocacy related to global health and development. Combined, these efforts have contributed to securing substantial and recurrent government co-investment in Gates-supported initiatives. The article proposes that the Foundation exercises a form of ¡®network diplomacy¡¯ that entails building and maintaining wide networks across European societies with the aim of aligning donor governments¡¯ overseas development assistance and policies with the Foundation¡¯s strategic objectives in global health and development. The concept of network diplomacy offers a new perspective on how the Gates Foundation has consolidated and expanded its transnational political presence through an approach that is strategic, bureaucratised and institutionalised, rather than simply a product of its financial might. The findings amplify existing concerns regarding the sway of private foundations over public policy, their impact on democratic accountability and governance in donor states, and the resultant implications for the Foundation¡¯s intended beneficiaries in low- and middle-income countries.

  This article seeks to understand the evolution of India¡¯s political relations and development cooperation with Africa, in the context of India¡¯s ambitions of playing a leading role in the Third World turned Global South. India¡¯s development cooperation with African nations was informed in the early decades after the country¡¯s independence by a sense of solidarity. It is argued that despite a sense of Third Worldist solidarity, Indian actors partially understood Africa and Africans in relation to themselves through racialised ideas of ¡®progress¡¯ which originated as part of the British imperial project. The justification for India¡¯s development cooperation with Africa came to be rooted in India¡¯s conceptions of its own exceptionalism, which has metamorphosed over the decades from a cultural-civilisational project to incorporate understandings of economic and technological progress, especially after neoliberal reforms of the 1990s. We place the rhetoric that characterises India¡¯s Africa policy within a broad framework of decolonial international relations literature by Global South scholars, thereby showing how relations between India and Africa have been shaped by perceptions of Africa and Africans in the longue dur¨¦e, and accounting for why Indian actors have imagined their role in Africa in terms of a mixture of paternalism and benevolence.

  The global trend toward authoritarian regimes has significant implications for businesses¡¯ capacity to foster peaceful societies. This article delves into this issue by first examining the concept of authoritarian capitalism. Authoritarian capitalism is characterized by a dominant economic system that favors private property and for-profit production but restricts access to finance, contracts, and investment opportunities on the basis of political loyalty to the ruling government. Economic policies and governance prioritize the regime¡¯s desire to retain power rather than maximizing societal benefits. Furthermore, this article examines the cases of Venezuela and El Salvador, each of which have each taken distinct trajectories toward authoritarian capitalism. Despite differences in their approaches, in both cases, democratic spaces that allowed business advocacy and local initiatives have been gradually closed. Often, the closure of these democratic spaces is a condition to accessing economic opportunities. Hence, the advent of authoritarian capitalism poses deep challenges for businesses. Lastly, this article concludes by proposing ways for businesses to confront the decline of democracy and the emergence of authoritarian capitalism.

  The term ¡®Global South¡¯ has seen a resurgence in recent years, evolving from a synonym for the ¡®Third World¡¯ to a geo-historical concept representing low- and middle-income countries and emerging powers. Despite growing prominence in global policy debates, its meaning remains contested. In this introductory article to the special issue, we first discuss five distinct interpretations identified in the literature. We emphasize that Global South is characterized by internal diversity, evolving roles, and shifting alliances, while remaining anchored in the broader struggles for global justice and systemic transformation that give the concept its political meaning. The second part analyses the role of the Global South in reshaping global governance as countries within this grouping navigate strategic balancing between major powers, influencing emerging multipolar dynamics. Through a dialogue with the articles in the special issue we illustrate how the role of the Global South moves far beyond being critical of the west and a liberal world order, but rather both challenge and reaffirm some of the norms underpinning such an order. The third part discusses how South-South Cooperation (SSC) emerges as a vehicle for reconfiguring global cooperation, driven by strategic interests and diverse forms of engagement. The articles in this special issues provide examples of the multifaceted nature of this engagement. Overall, this special issue provides insights into how the Global South¡¯s complexities intersect with geopolitical shifts, challenging traditional norms and offering new frameworks for global governance transformation.

  It is a common critique of the Global South that its rising protagonism is a tool for authoritarian forces. The prominent role of authoritarian countries in coalitions such as BRICS and the Non-Aligned Movement, which claim to represent the Global South, has strengthened this concern. To shed light on those issues, this paper provides an in-depth case study of the 2024 elections crisis in Venezuela and the role of the Global South in resolving it. The question asked is to what extent countries identifying with the Global South were able to simultaneously promote democracy and adopt a foreign policy identity aligned with the Global South. The paper shows how the position and action of different Global South countries differed significantly, from an outright rejection of the fraudulent elections, to their endorsement. There were also concerted efforts by countries strongly identifying with the Global South to facilitate a democratic solution. The main argument developed is that a Global South narrative¡¯s interweaving of anti-imperialism and opposition against foreign interference with opposition against liberal democracy promotion has left a limited space for democracy advocacy among countries with a Global South identity. This may weaken democratic forces among Global South countries in the future.

  The rise of China as a trading partner, lender, and investor is among the most significant developments in the global political economy over the last two decades. This shift has created important new opportunities for developing countries, but it has also introduced new challenges, with benefits and drawbacks unevenly distributed across different nations. This paper argues that understanding the developmental consequences of China¡¯s involvement requires studying not only Chinese priorities and modalities but also the interests and strategies of local elites. The development of Latin America has been profoundly influenced by these elite interests, which are shaped by the region's integration into the global economy. Elites may leverage the benefits of the relationship to China to enhance their rent-seeking capabilities and limit competition, thereby hindering development and perpetuating inequality in Latin America. This argument is examined through the contrasting cases of Chile and Venezuela: while Chile¡¯s approach to China has been dominated by private sector elites, Venezuela¡¯s has been driven by governmental elites. In both cases, integration with China is shaped by and in has in turn strengthened interests and strategies of the elites.

  As nations prepare to address multiple crises and mitigate the negative impacts of climate change, it has become increasingly clear that the current multilateral system and established global governance mechanisms are inadequate. This chapter thoroughly examines an innovative approach called Lifestyle for Environment (LiFE) introduced by India and explores its practical implementation to effectively address global challenges. Drawing on the concept of Prakriti Rakshati Rakshita¡ªthose who protect nature, nature protects them, the chapter advocates for promoting sustainable consumption and production by encouraging affluent individuals and groups to adopt lifestyles that minimise environmental harm. This approach, centred around a people-focused LiFE framework, emphasises the significance of regenerative resource processes in human development, with humans acting as stewards responsible for creating a just and sustainable future. To achieve this, the operationalisation of the LiFE approach requires a focus on the 4Cs¡ªcooperation, coherence, convergence, and commitments.

  Partnership is essential for solving complex global challenges. In global health, however, partnership has become associated with a specific model: public¨Cprivate partnerships (PPPs), in which the key actors are governments, philanthropic foundations, and the private firms that produce drugs and vaccines. Leading PPPs like Gavi and the Global Fund are facing tough replenishment rounds within an uncertain context marked by major cuts to development assistance and US President Trump¡¯s assault on multilateralism. Drawing on research from the recently completed PANPREP project, this seminar reflects on 25 years of global health partnerships, reviews current reform proposals put forth after the Covid-19 pandemic and argues that these proposals need to herald the start, not the end of a conversation to rethink the models of partnership needed to drive an ambitious post-2030 global health agenda. The seminar draws on research conducted collaboratively with Felix Stein and Desmond McNeill, and a Lancet Viewpoint co-authored with Simon Rushton and Sophie Harman, Global health partnerships for a post-2030 agenda .

  With the re-election of Donald Trump, the U.S. is expected to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, a move that could significantly impact global climate action. In this session, our panel of scholars and experts will unpack the key decisions made at COP29, discuss how key issues were framed and what they mean for international climate policy, and consider the potential for meaningful progress despite these new challenges. Is there hope for substantial action, and what can we realistically expect from these negotiations? Join us to understand the importance of COP29, the stakes for our future, and the way forward in these critical times.

  In light of the shifting geopolitical landscape, the long-standing theory of democratic peace ¨C asserting that democracies rarely wage war against each other ¨C is facing critical scrutiny. This panel will discuss whether this principle still holds true in an era marked by shifting power dynamics, rising authoritarianism, and the erosion of liberal democratic norms. With conflicts increasingly shaped by hybrid warfare, economic rivalries, and regional instability, the traditional correlation between democracy and peace may be weakening. The discussion will explore whether contemporary democracies are more prone to conflict, or if the theory needs to be redefined for a multipolar world. The panel will also revisit Francis Fukuyama's "End of History" argument, which predicted the triumph of liberal democracy as the final form of human governance. As new global players and political ideologies emerge, panelists will assess whether this notion is still relevant, or if we are witnessing the rise of new patterns of conflict that challenge the foundations of democratic peace.

  This webinar will explore how artificial intelligence (AI) could transform political systems while posing significant risks. Generative AI is expected to enhance democratic engagement by simplifying bureaucratic processes and helping citizens communicate with elected officials, fostering greater participation. Governments may also leverage AI for data-driven insights, addressing societal challenges more efficiently. However, the webinar will also address the risks of AI-generated disinformation, which could undermine trust, accountability, and representation.
