Welcome to our latest newsletter, where we delve into critical analyses shaping contemporary global dynamics.

"Cultural Flows" then highlights the economic and soft power impacts of Nigeria’s cultural industries, focusing on Nollywood and Afrobeat. Our discussion on "Promoting Development through Water Management" underscores the importance of sustainable practices in rural Africa, with a case study on Morocco’s integrated approach. Finally, our "Retrospective Analysis of the 2024 Indian Elections" provides insights into the BJP's third-term victory and its ramifications for India's policy landscape.
