Die rosa Galaxie

Dieses Buch bietet einen Überblick über die Akteure, Ziele, Verbündeten und Aktionsformen der Pink Galaxy und beleuchtet deren Einfluss auf die lateinamerikanische Demokratie.

Wir haben das Buch The Pink Galaxy veröffentlicht. Wie das São Paulo Forum , die Puebla-Gruppe und ihre internationalen Verbündeten die Demokratie in Lateinamerika untergraben. Als zu Beginn des Jahrtausends die rosa Welle linker Regierungen Lateinamerika erfasste , hofften viele auf eine stärkere politische Beteiligung. Zwei Jahrzehnte später ist diese demokratische Hoffnung einer Enttäuschung gewichen. Die Unterstützung für die Demokratie ist auf einem historischen Tiefstand. Aus der einstigen rosa Flut ist eine rosa Galaxie geworden , in der sich autoritäre und demokratisch legitimierte Kräfte vermischen.

De-Risking, but where to?

The Emerging ASEAN countries as an alternative to China

The German economy should become more diversified. However, how and where such de-risking shall be implemented remains unclear. In search of suitable partners, both politics and business often turn their attention to the emerging economies of Southeast Asia. The dynamic growth of the so-called Emerging ASEAN (Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines, and Vietnam) offers a seemingly promising alternative to the large neighbour China. However, a look at the economic data shows that the diversification potential in terms of Southeast Asia’s emerging markets is limited.

House specialty: lame duck?

Results of South Korea’s general election

South Korea elected a new parliament on April 10th. The numbers remain largely unchanged: the governing party fails in its hopes for changing conditions, the opposition gains a ‘supermajority’ to accelerate its own legislation, albeit only with combined forces, but does not win a two-thirds majority either. In the government we expect another change of guards, while the president - three years before the end of his term in office - is further weakened and already fighting a lame duck image.
