Opportunities for a more Inclusive Indian Foreign Policy

-by Kubernein Initiative-KAS India

New and emerging challenges, from the uncertainties caused by climate change to the cascading effects of the ongoing pandemic, call for alterations in traditional approaches to decision making. Voices need to be heard from diverse skill sets, backgrounds, expertise and lived experiences. A more inclusive foreign policy lens recognises the emerging threats to a nation and global relationships with an approach that is both progressive and realistic. With these issues in mind the Konrad-Adenauer-Stiftung India Office in cooperation with the Kubernein Initiative, brought forward a report exploring: "Opportunities for a more Inclusive Indian Foreign Policy."

Revocación de mandato: ¿democracia o demagogia?

KASBLog: análisis y opinión

El debate en torno al experimento del primer referéndum de revocación de mandato en México, ensombrecido por el ineludible ardor de la disputa política, las múltiples violaciones al orden constitucional de funcionarios y actores políticos y la anunciada iniciativa gubernamental de reformas electorales (con el eminente peligro de resucitar elementos autoritarios y antidemocráticos desconocidos para toda una generación de mexicanos) desgraciadamente ha ignorado la delicada cuestión de la conveniencia y la justificación política de la figura revocatoria como mecanismo de democracia directa. Contrariada por la coyuntura política del momento, la discusión ha dejado a un lado el fondo del asunto, empobreciendo la confrontación de ideas.
