Der Chef der Monopolkommission Tomaso Duso reagiert auf die Kritik des neuen Deutschlandchefs von Telefónica in der F.A.Z.: Mehr Netzanbieter sind gut für Verbraucher und für Europas Wettbewerbsfähigkeit., Wenn Santiago Argelich Hesse, der neue Deutschlandchef von Telefónica, in der F.A.Z. für mehr Konsolidierung im europäischen Telekommunikationsmarkt wirbt und sich über einen „ruinösen Wettbewerb“ beschwert, aufgrund dessen sich Investitionen nicht ausreichend lohnen würden, dann ist das eigentlich ...

Marco Rubio's address confirms that the normative foundations of international cooperation are now openly contested not only from outside the West but from within the West itself. The question is no longer whether what is called the ‘post-1945 consensus’ will hold. The question is what replaces it, and on whose terms.

Access to critical raw materials (CRMs) is increasingly shaped by geopolitical dynamics, sparking a global competition for supply security. Using the gravity model of trade, we examine how OECD countries leverage Aid for Trade (AfT), Bilateral Investment Treaties (BITs), and Preferential Trade Agreements (PTAs) to influence CRM imports from developing countries. Panel data from 1995–2023 show that while intensive-margin effects of North-South PTAs appear economically negligible in the global trade equilibrium, these agreements play a strategic role in facilitating market entry and shaping supply-chain geography. Our results underscore that a coordinated mix of trade diplomacy, investment frameworks, and targeted aid is key to resilient and diversified CRM access for OECD countries.

Held in the context of the 70th annual Commission on the Status of Women (CSW70), and reflecting this year’s review theme on “women’s full and effective participation and decision-making in public life, as well as the elimination of violence, for achieving gender equality and the empowerment of all women and girls,” this side event will position care systems as a core enabler of the women, peace and security (WPS) agenda.

Building on UN Women’s newly launched global “Guidance Note on Addressing Care in Times of Conflict and Crisis,” the discussion will examine how unequal and unrecognized care responsibilities constrain women’s participation in peacebuilding, weaken social cohesion, and undermine recovery and sustaining peace outcomes.

The event will also launch a forthcoming IPI report, “Linking Local Care Initiatives in Latin America to Feminist Foreign Policy: Lessons Learned from Mexico City’s UTOPÍAS,” which examines how innovative local care policies can inform multilateral feminist policymaking and the implementation of feminist foreign policy.

The forum will bring together policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to reflect on how care can be better integrated into national action plans, feminist foreign policies, and broader peacebuilding frameworks, particularly drawing from experiences in the Global South.
