The people of Columbia turned to violence in the street due to the government neglecting to listen. This highly centralized state of power will continue to contribute to social unrest #comparativehill

Today marks 6 months since the beginning of the conflict in #Tigray, Ethiopia, and our new analysis reveals a hidden crisis: women are experiencing widespread abuse, including rape and exploitation, with nowhere to report it. More on the situation: https://t.co/h3uAZvbtJT

By recognizing that a transfer of focus to natural preservation would weaken a leading power in the world is shocking #comparativehill

China and our adversaries now know they can take advantage of us in exchange for a promise to reduce future carbon emissions — a promise that they have no intention of actually keeping.

Climate change first is NOT America First. It weakens us — and our adversaries know it.

Incorporating trees into farms can enhance biodiversity and strengthen the sustainability of agriculture: a message increasingly shared among government ministries in #Peru.

Peruvians are sick of the political structure as they are caught between two extremists running for the presidency. One is a self-proclaimed Marxist, the other is a dictator, pledging to make Peru a "hard democracy." Is a popular revolt inevitable?

"This year’s presidential runoff pits the ideological heir to the Shining Path insurgency against the literal heir (in fact, the daughter) of the dictator who crushed it."
Great piece on how Peru got to this dismal moment.

The Hummer was considered to be one of the most eco-harmful vehicles on the market. Now the newest version is completely electric. Will this new trend take off? Is the market prepared for a boom in all-electric vehicles?

India's government has drasticaly understated the impact of Covid-19 in an attempt to cover its terrible handeling of the outbreak. A large and impoverished population along with little capacity has made dealing with the virus extremely difficult.

Despite the Myanmar junta's promises made at the ASEAN summit, "there are so far no discernable signs of change on the ground." Did the summit in Jakarta just "buy time" for the junta to continue killing and arresting protesters? https://t.co/h863YkBM6a

Territorial disputes over Western Sahara has brought in old colonial power Spain to broker diplomatic solutions to rising tensions between Morocco and Germany, a result of domestic/regional politics going international, an example of structural realism. #comparativehill

Yet another example of a state which lacks the basic monopolies of violence and justice, as a simple incident has shut down the nation's domestic economy. An example of how the structural realism of the UN has failed to state-build.

I think it is safe to say that the Syrian conflict (in regards to Assad's government) is a general example of what classical realists would call "human nature", as the region has not known stability since the early 2000s and historically is very volatile. #comparativehill

Uruguay has the second-highest rate of women killed due to gender-based violence. If the state has the capacity to successfully manage the rate of Covid-19 infections, the state must address the ‘shadow pandemic’ of femicide in the state. #comparativehill
