Very excited to read this new paper on Brazilian climate assemblies, by Silvia Cervellini, Karin Adams, Maira Rodrigues, and Lilian Sendretti. 📑 When it comes to running citizens' assemblies in a complex Global South context like South Africa, Latin America is the closest comparative case you'll find. I'm sure Cervellini et. al. will have some good insights for my own Citizens' Assembly Working Group! READ NOW -> https://lnkd.in/eyKamRg3

In times of crisis, it's crucial for civil and military actors to work together seamlessly. However, with different organizations using varying terminology and interpretation, confusion and misunderstandings can arise. Henrique Garbino, João Maurício Dias Lopes Valdetaro, and Jonny Robinson map out 59 organization-specific civil-military concepts from 44 entities, including governments, #NGOs, #multilateral organizations, and #armed groups. Check out their paper in the comments, along with Assad Raza's podcast on the Civil Affairs Association discussing their findings. Let's strive for clearer communication and cooperation in times of need. #CivilMilitaryRelations #HumanitarianCoordination #CIMIC #CMCoord

My latest article 'Small state adaptation and relational autonomy: The case of the United Arab Emirates and South America' with Paulo Cesar Rebello has now been published with Global Policy. Abstract: From the Summit of South American–Arab Countries (ASPA) created in 2005, UAE–South American relations have continued to develop based on a combination of pragmatism, threat perception, political support and expanding economic interests. We argue that the strength of UAE engagement in this region is consistent with its attempts to build, deploy and benefit from soft power globally through economic statecraft in a mutually reinforcing series of bilateral and multilateral relationships. These include forums such as the Southern Common Market (MERCOSUR) and the expanding BRICS grouping (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa). The article draws on primary and secondary data in English, Portuguese and Spanish, focusing mainly on UAE relations with Brazil and Venezuela. We find that through a myriad of growing investment relations and first-mover advantage on arms and industrial cooperation, the UAE is well positioned vis-à-vis other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) states to benefit from the economic, diplomatic and security ties that could boost its relational autonomy in a competitive and uncertain regional and international environment. https://lnkd.in/d-sj-ACf

I'm pleased to share that I have passed my Viva and am now a doctor! My research is about the impact of Evangelical activism with the police forces in Brazil in the context of far-right mainstreaming. I developed extensive fieldwork with large Evangelical organisations engaged in base-building with precarious police officers, and analysed its implications for democratic governance in marginalised urban spaces. My findings point to the fact that in Brazil the far-right is deeply entrenched, expanding organically from bottom-up articulations between civil society and security structures that are largely autonomous from party politics or electoral cycles. These solidarity networks preceded Bolsonaro, go deeply beyond Bolsonarismo, and develop completely outside the radar of the media or the public debate. The research may be of interest to anyone working on the far-right in the Global South, police politicisation, and the imbrications of religion and militarism.

#Brazil / #PublicHealth / #Hunger - Brazil sees over 100 countries joining alliance against hunger, minister says - by Reuters News Agency / searched and summarized by #Intern Georgios Koskinas:   More than 100 countries are expected to back a global alliance against hunger proposed by Brazil to counter the increase in hunger around the world, a Brazilian minister said.    Brazilian Minister of Social Development Wellington Dias will travel to the United Nations next week to promote the alliance. Since President Luis Inacio Lula Da Silva took office last year, Brazil has made strides in reducing food insecurity and poverty.    Brazil expects substantial financial support from the G20 group of rich nations, with the official launch of the alliance planned to be at the G20 summit in Rio de Janeiro in November. Brazil presides over the G20 this year.    The alliance aims to establish mechanisms for efficient financial and knowledge resource allocation and has a target to remove all countries included on the Food and Agriculture Organization's hunger map from the map by 2030.    Upcoming reports are expected to show global hunger increasing, but Dias claims that it will also show an improvement in Brazil’s hunger statistics, adding that this will enhance his country's credentials in leading the proposed global alliance.    https://lnkd.in/e78wunqJ

BRAZILIAN GOVERNMENT SEEKS TO ASSUME A NEW EXTERNAL IDENTITY In its third session, the Permanent Forum of People of African Descent brings together human rights institutions and representatives of civil society to identify and analyze good practices, challenges, opportunities and initiatives for the promotion of the human rights of people of African descent. This year, the event will be held between April 16th and 19th, at the Palácio das Nações, in Geneva, Switzerland, and will feature Teresa Cristina in the opening ceremony. As Brazil is the country with the largest number of Afro-descendants outside of Africa, the Permanent Forum of People of African Descent is of great importance to the Brazilian government which, through Projeto Atlântico Vermelho, takes Teresa Cristina to sing at the opening ceremony of the event and the art exhibition with Brazilian artists on display from the 15th to the 26th on the UN Main Mezzanine. Lectures to debate racism in Brazil are also scheduled to take place during this period. With ministerial participation, an exhibition of arts, music and parliamentarians, the Lula government will use the UN as a stage for repositioning its international profile and assuming Afro identity as part of culture, diplomatic strategy and social policies. The government's initiative comes at a time when civil society and activists are questioning the administration's slowness in implementing the radical change in social policies, after four years of the dismantling of the human rights agenda by Jair Bolsonaro's government. Alongside the USA, the Brazilian government will take the lead in debates and negotiations to create a Declaration of Human Rights for Afro-descendants, which will have the weight of an international treaty. In this context and as a basis for negotiation the event will debate environmental racism, reparatory justice, discrimination and racial inequality, xenophobia, education and racial literacy, migration and refuge of Afro-descendants and representation. In addition to the government's participation, NGOs and activists such as Sueli Carneiro will denounce racism, police violence and challenges faced by the black population in Brazil throughout the week. The meeting coincides with the visit of the UN rapporteur for the defense of activists, Mary Lawlor, and a wave of violence against environmentalists and community leaders. The repositioning is not just symbolic. In the diplomatic aspect, the initiative is of interest to the government which, after six years of absence in Africa, is trying to regain its leading role on the continent and expand alliances. This includes strengthening cooperation with CPLP and Caribbean countries. Within Itamaraty, however, critical voices warn that, despite good intentions and a change in dialogue, the diplomatic strategy for Africa is still unknown.

When it comes to community trust-building by law enforcement, consistency is key. In this insightful snippet from our March 27th webinar "Community Policing: Youth Engagement and Safety", Major Ricardo Guimarães da Silva discusses the vital role of consistency and repetition in community outreach. The GNR - Guarda Nacional Republicana's impressive achievement of conducting over 2,300 community outreach activities in 2023 exemplifies their commitment to building trust and ensuring safety within communities. Major Silva’s words remind us that regular engagement and a consistent presence are essential to fostering lasting relationships and improving community safety, especially among youth. Every little outreach iniative counts. Watch the video to learn more about the impactful strategies employed by the GNR. #CommunityPolicing #YouthEngagement #CommunitySafety #SecureCommunities #GNR #Outreach #PublicSafety #ConsistencyMatters

Explaining Internet governance in under 60 seconds — what’s at stake and why it matters — in minimalist jargon isn’t easy. In my remaining year in this posting, my hope is to learn how to get better at producing video shorts like these that make tech policy accessible to generalist audiences. It has become increasingly clear that #tech diplomacy is the future of #diplomacy.

🏠😔House report condemns Brumadinho dam disaster as “unforgivable” A House report on the Brumadinho dam disaster, which killed over 270 people in early 2019, decries the lack of criminal accountability for the security flaws that led to the collapse of an iron ore tailings dam and the resulting tsunami of toxic sludge. The report also criticizes mining giant Vale for a lack of transparency in compensation agreements with victims. Authored by Congressman Pedro Aihara, the report was presented in early July to a select committee on dam failures. However, two scheduled meetings to vote on the report have been canceled. 🔗Read more in our full article by Cedê Silva here 👇 https://lnkd.in/daKYcxtS #Brumadinho #Mining #Disaster #Brazil
