- Description
- This event explores how race and colonialism have impacted lives, policymaking, and understandings of countries in the Middle East and South Asia.
Both research and policymaking in international relations can be influenced, whether intentionally or unintentionally by racialized and colonial ideas. The January 2022 issue of International Affairs explores this issue.
In this webinar, contributors to the issue discuss how racialized and colonial ideas have impacted communities in the Middle East and South Asia, including women in the Afghan peace process.
They also examine Western policies towards the regions, including during the Arab Spring uprisings, and in the Israel-Palestine conflict. However, race and colonialism have not only impacted lives and policy decisions, but also the very foundations of what we understand as a border, nation or region today.
The speakers in this event drew on the following research:

As the world watches events develop after more than 100 days of conflict in Ukraine and Russia’s failed attempts at a quick victory, the international community is focusing its efforts on supporting resilience on Ukraine’s home front and designing a massive post-war recovery programme.
Ukraine has already secured an unprecedented commitment from the EU, the US, and G7 countries, as well as from international financial institutions, for significant financial support to assist with rapid economic reconstruction. The European Investment Bank will play a central role in securing financial assistance for Ukraine and estimates the country needs as much as one trillion euros.
Alongside infrastructure and social service rebuilding, Ukraine needs to modernize politically. Its EU candidate status requires accountable governance...

- Description
- As Sir Robin Niblett steps down from his role as director of Chatham House, he reflects on how the world has changed in the past 15 years and what it means for the future.
He reflects on the big shifts in international affairs since he took the post in 2007, including those that have taken us from a cautiously optimistic post-Cold War period to the contentious world we inhabit today. He will also assess Europe’s and the UK’s future role, alongside its old and new allies.
Questions considered include:
Does this more divided world presage major conflict between the great powers?
Does global division herald the end of economic globalization and of the international cooperation needed to manage shared global challenges?
How will Europeans and the US manage their relations with increasingly self-confident countries like India, Brazil, Indonesia and South Africa?
How should multilateral institutions adapt?

- Chanu Peiris reflects on the unfolding political and economic crisis in Sri Lanka and its impact on human rights.
What is happening in Sri Lanka?
Sri Lanka has been a leader in South Asia on many human development indicators including health and education. Until recently, it was considered an upper middle-income country. Its GDP, when adjusted for purchasing power, was on par with South Africa’s.
But the country is now experiencing economic collapse. The crisis has its roots in economic mismanagement by multiple governments. This was made worse by global market disruptions and by internal security emergencies including the 2019 Easter bombings.
What rights are being impacted?
The current situation is impacting the full range of human rights for people in Sri Lanka. According to the World Food Programme, over a third of people are now facing moderate to severe hunger.

- London Climate Action Weeek: Exploring how to navigate the transition to more sustainable, equitable and resilient societies through the threats and opportunities thrown up by the deepening environmental crisis.
Discussions of the environmental crisis are sometimes framed in binary terms. We have ‘eight years to save the world’; it’s ‘one minute to midnight on the [climate crisis] doomsday clock’. This partly reflects strategic communications priorities; the need to highlight both the threat of the crisis and the urgency of the action required.
Yet the chances of limiting global heating below 1.5°C are diminishing and environmental impacts are growing. In turn, it can be difficult to face the challenging emotions elicited by the heightening stakes. One reaction is a dogmatic optimism that sees technological change or other ‘silver bullets’ overcoming these complexities: ‘hopeium’ in the words of climate justice writer Mary Annaïse Hegla...

Key issues for the new administration are a deteriorating situation with regards to drought as close to half the population are facing food insecurity due to a fourth failed rainy season. Combined with an inflation rate above ten per cent, many Somalis are at risk of famine and starvation.
Many areas of the country are affected from the pastoralist regions to those which house IDP camps around the capital city and other towns, all being exacerbated by the war in Ukraine as Somalia was importing much of its wheat imports from Ukraine and Russia.

- South Africa’s democracy is entering a new chapter. In the 2021 municipal election, no party secured more than 50 per cent of the vote for the first time in a poll since 1994. This reflected the waning of support for the long-dominant party of government and marks the potential advance toward pluralist national governance in the country, including the prospect of an executive coalition after the 2024 general election.
The Democratic Alliance (DA), the largest opposition party in South Africa, has positioned itself as the anti-corruption party and is building a reputation for effective governance in the Western Cape and metropolitan areas across the country. However, the party continues to struggle to extend its franchise beyond a core voter base and has been hampered by internal debates on ideology and strategic direction.
At this meeting, John Steenhuisen, party leader of the DA, will discuss his vision for the party and the country, including the experienc...

- Description
- The COVID-19 pandemic exposed fault lines in the global order as national interests and domestic politics, rather than a coordinated international effort, shaped our responses. Russia’s invasion of Ukraine now threatens to upend the global order as we know it, having already rewritten existing frameworks and conceptions of international security in Europe.
We have entered a new phase of geopolitical competition and confrontation that will require navigating a multiplicity of risks and potential for conflict. How we respond will shape our ability to address the systemic challenges of our age, above all climate change and delivering sustainable and equitable health and development, after the ravages of the pandemic.

- Towards just transition in Africa: Green financing for urban energy solutions and job creation

- Description
- Global climate policies towards a ‘just transition’ under the Paris Agreement should also align with and support African states’ national sustainable development priorities. In particular, the need for decent and fair job creation and the establishment of sufficient, resilient and sustainable power supply, accessible to all, and efficient energy use.
Achieving green growth requires innovative and more accessible financing models, especially as wealthy nations’ financial pledges have fallen short. Ahead of the ‘African COP27’ set to take place in Egypt in November 2022, there is a need for transformational strategic thinking and context-specific action from African governments, civil society, businesses and financiers in their green financing demands and national implementation plans.
Sustainable urban energy solutions represent a critical zone of opportunity for the development of new and more reliable green finance pathways. Africa’s rapidly exp...

- What does sustainable agriculture mean?

- Description
- Experts compare and contrast visions of ‘sustainable’ agriculture.
There is growing and unprecedented recognition of the adverse effects of food systems on global warming, air and water pollution, biodiversity, soil, and managing the emergence and spread of infectious diseases. At the same time, concern is rising over the role of climate change itself in compromising food security, supply-chain resilience and food price spikes.
Against this backdrop, the need for agriculture to become more ‘sustainable’ is clear. However, there is little consensus over what that means in practice. To address this, Chatham House is launching a new research paper comparing and contrasting the two most commonly articulated versions of ‘sustainable agriculture’.
