CSDP 5 - The Raisina Dialogue, the Global South and the Future of Global Governance

College of Europe Podcast (Bruges)

Show Notes

In this episode, we speak with Manuel Muñiz, Provost of IE University and former Secretary of State for Global Spain. Dr. Muñiz is currently attending the Raisina Dialogue in New Delhi, so we took this opportunity to discuss how India and the Global South are viewing recent developments in global affairs— from ceasefire negotiations in Ukraine to the Sino-American rivalry. We also explored what this means for the future of international governance and Europe's potential in fostering North-South dialogue.

In the College Security and Defence Podcast (CSDP) students Alexander Neuhalfen and Pol Koopman delve into the many subjects that buzz around in European diplomacy, security and defence. Through interviewing a wide array of guests they hope to make sense of these often complex topics, while at the same time providing something nice and entertaining to listen to. This podcast is a collaboration of the College of Europe students' Security and Defence Society and Young Diplomats Society.

In this episode of the Young Diplomats' Society podcast, İrem İlksoy and Leah Tillmann-Morris are joined by Charles-Michel Geurts, former EEAS diplomat and EU ambassador to Ecuador, and current professor at the College of Europe. We begin with insights into how the internal work of EEAS compares to working abroad, and the strength that can be found in coordinating EU member states as a diplomatic force, as well as the journey of EU human rights diplomacy. Prof. Geurts also shares his experiences and reflections as ambassador to Ecuador from 2020-2024, particularly on efforts to combat the illegal cocaine trade and transnational organised crime, including drawing on European law-enforcement experience in tackling the Italian mafia to support responses to Ecuadorian drug gangs, while also navigating the tensions that can arise when EU diplomats engage with differing approaches to military involvement in law enforcement.
