¿Justicia por Voto? Lecciones para México de las Elecciones Judiciales en Bolivia

Thursday, November 14, 2024

By: Lucila Del Aguila Llausás;  Nicolás Devia-Valbuena

El 15 de septiembre entró en vigor una de las reformas constitucionales más importantes y controvertidas del entonces presidente de México, Andrés Manuel López Obrador: aquella que establece que los futuros jueces serán elegidos por voto popular. Después de dos intentos fallidos para aprobarla, López Obrador, conocido coloquialmente como AMLO, aprovechó las victorias electorales de su partido Morena a principios de este año. Estos triunfos le dieron el control de la Cámara de Diputados, una mayoría casi calificada en el Senado y el dominio en la mayoría de las gubernaturas y legislaturas estatales. Lo anterior aseguró la continuidad de su proyecto con su protegida, Claudia Sheinbaum, quien asumió en octubre como la primera presidenta de México.

China’s Dilemmas Deepen as North Korea Enters Ukraine War

China’s Dilemmas Deepen as North Korea Enters Ukraine War

Thursday, November 14, 2024

By: Carla Freeman, Ph.D.;  Naiyu Kuo

Until late October, the big questions about China’s role in the Ukraine conflict centered around whether Beijing would choose to expand its support for Russia to include lethal aid, or if it might engage in more active peacemaking to end the conflict. Then, on November 4, the Pentagon confirmed that North Korea sent more than 10,000 troops to Russia’s Kursk oblast, where Ukraine had captured some territory earlier this year. Days later, the State Department confirmed that North Korean soldiers had begun fighting Ukrainian troops.

How Afghanistan’s Economy Can Survive Shrinking Shipments of U.N. Cash Aid

How Afghanistan’s Economy Can Survive Shrinking Shipments of U.N. Cash Aid

Thursday, November 14, 2024

By: William Byrd, Ph.D.

Afghanistan’s precarious economy is facing a new set of multidimensional risks as humanitarian aid — delivered in massive shipments of U.S. cash dollars — shrinks rapidly amid competing demands from other crises around the world. The dollar inflows, moved under U.N. auspices, have helped stabilize the Afghan economy, cover its mammoth trade deficit, and inject monetary liquidity into commerce. With much smaller cash infusions, in line with a general reduction in aid, the suffering of Afghanistan’s poverty-stricken population is likely to increase.

Justice by Vote? Lessons for Mexico from Bolivia’s Judicial Elections

Justice by Vote? Lessons for Mexico from Bolivia’s Judicial Elections

Thursday, November 14, 2024

By: Lucila Del Aguila Llausás;  Nicolás Devia-Valbuena

On September 15, one of the most important and contested legacies of Mexico’s then-President Andrés Manuel López Obrador — a constitutional reform that will see future judges being elected by popular vote — went into effect. After two failed attempts to pass the reform, López Obrador, colloquially known as AMLO, capitalized on his party Morena’s electoral victories earlier this year. These wins gave him control of the Chamber of Deputies, a near-qualified majority in the Senate and dominance in most state governorships and state-level legislatures. This ensured the continuity of his project with his protégée Claudia Sheinbaum, who was sworn in as Mexico’s first female president in October.

What to Know About Palau’s Election: Taiwan, China and Other Key Issues

What to Know About Palau’s Election: Taiwan, China and Other Key Issues

Thursday, November 14, 2024

By: Camilla Pohle

After Palau held its presidential election on November 5, incumbent President Surangel Whipps Jr. was announced as the winner this week. Palau — an archipelago of more than 300 islands to the east of the Philippines and southwest of Guam — is one of Taiwan’s few remaining diplomatic partners in the region and has seen an increasing U.S. military presence in recent years, making it a focal point for competition between the United States and China. Palau gained independence from the United States in 1994 and has maintained a close relationship with Washington ever since under the Compact of Free Association.
