| Summary/Abstract |
During the spring and summer of 2020, countries in sub-Saharan Africa were facing a food crisis. Unusually heavy rains, floods and locust swarms had devastated crops across East Africa. On top of this, the coronavirus crisis delayed delivery of agricultural equipment, pesticides and fertilizers, while lockdown restrictions prevented farmers from transporting produce and livestock to markets. According to the World Food Programme, more than 40 million people are still facing severe food shortages.

| Summary/Abstract |
The president’s son calls for an ‘army’ of 50,000 to ensure ballot security at the polls. Armed militias take to the streets and white supremacist gangs stand by to intervene, while drivers – 69 since the beginning of the summer– plough into peaceful crowds gathered to demand racial justice. This is the United States on the eve of the 2020 presidential election.

| Summary/Abstract |
A little like Britain’s Conservative party, Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party exists to govern, rather than being animated by a single ideological mission.
Always a broad church of competing ideas – in domestic affairs, at times favouring paternalistic interventionist government, or small-scale deregulation; in foreign policy, fluctuating between alliance-focused proactivism and UN-centered non-interventionism – the party has pursued different approaches depending on the political mood at home and the predisposition of individual leaders.
