  • When a major cyberattack occurs, global decision-makers and the media rightly focus on the target institutions, the dollar amount, and the policy side – but the very real experiences and impacts at the individual level are often ignored or misunderstood.

    Earlier this year, Digital Peace Now launched a campaign called #StillVulnerable - a collection of real stories from people who have been personally impacted by disruptive and dangerous cyberattacks. By sharing these stories, DPN hopes to humanise the experience and show the world that cyberattacks do not discriminate — they can impact anyone, regardless of their background – making us all #StillVulnerable.

    Each story is accompanied by an original piece of digital art, developed exclusively by DPN, that captures the feeling of vulnerability in cyberspace under attack.

  • Past industrial revolutions were powered by the uncontrolled use of fossil fuels; the Fourth Industrial Revolution must find additional sources of energy. Yet, 2021 provided stark reminders of how many countries still depend on a secure supply of fossil fuels. The energy transition is not straightforward: It could amplify socio-political fissures at home, and introduce dependencies abroad. For developing countries, rigid decarbonisation measures could also thwart the evolution of a robust domestic industry.

    How can energy transitions help in rapid industrialisation and at-scale employment generation in the developing world? How can key nations invest in an institutional framework that supports this new energy landscape of the future? Will constructs like the International Solar Alliance be the start of a new era of coalitions for like-minded nations? Will geopolitics serve these energy transitions or complicate them?

  • Given the concentration of economic, cultural, and political power accrued by Big Tech, is trust-busting action now inevitable? How should platforms aim to increase the trust deficit between themselves, the customers they serve, and the jurisdictions they operate in? Should global platforms uphold Western notions of free speech where they operate, or should they adapt to local standards?

  • The geopolitical developments and the pandemic in the last two and a half years have made us acutely aware of the frailties of global public goods, supply chains, and institutions. The weaponisation of financial systems and prominent symbols of globalisation has rung alarm bells around the world.

    How can global financial flows and mechanisms be ring-fenced from political blockages? Does the weaponisation of popular symbols of globalisation have real-value impact, or is it merely pandering? In such circumstances, what paths do nations have to genuine self-reliance? In an era of geopolitical conflict across kinetic, cyber, or ideological arenas, what can be done to prevent the weaponisation of everything? How can the international community ensure that the supply lines essential to health and food security, for instance, are protected from arbitrary political action?

  • Technology, once presumed to deepen and reinforce democracy, also poses risks to free societies along multiple axes. Large tech companies have gained influence in sectors from financial services to healthcare, while regulators struggle to keep up. Authoritarian states have discovered the use of technology as a method of control. And technology itself has moved into areas such as deep fakes that challenge social reality itself.

    How important is digital literacy and how can it be established to protect private data?

    Since the digital is our public sphere, is it time to regulate advertisement by perverse political actors and their agents? Will digital territories shape the 21st century as the Westphalian political model defined the past?

  • As the plains of Ukraine turned into a battlefield, few players had more at stake than China. Its “no limits” partner faced stringent Western sanctions and its strategic competitors had found a new resolve. China is faced with a choice between its stated respect for sovereignty and its burgeoning friendship with Moscow.

    What lessons will China and the world take from the Ukraine conflict? If deterrence hasn’t worked with Moscow, how will it work with Beijing? With the West largely united over Russian sanctions, is the Chinese economic juggernaut likely to face similar pressure in the event of a crisis? Will China’s lure be able to stand the test of a prolonged association with Moscow?

  • Participating in Vostok-22 military games on one hand and hosting a crucial Quad official meeting on the other, India continues to maintain its balancing act in international politics. How will juggling this diplomatic dilemma that has risen after the Ukraine crisis fare in the long run? Although India has restricted its involvement in certain aspects of military activities in Vostok, how will the other engagements in the East affect its global perception?

    The commissioning of INS Vikrant has been a significant moment in India's indigenous defence expedition. But is it time for India to pick pace with reviewing its Marine Doctrine, especially with new disruptive military technologies emerging in China?

    As the former President of the Soviet Union, Mikhail Gorbachev passes away, our experts analyze the complex legacy he left behind that led the transition of the Soviet Union to modern-day Russia under him.

    Tune into this latest episode of the Ideas Factory podcast on PolicyPod with Nagma Sahar, Senior Fellow at ORF and Harsh Pant, Director of Studies and Head of Strategic Studies Programme at ORF for a deep dive into evolving relations between powerful actors that affect international politics today.

  • Intensifying floods, wildfires and other climate catastrophes around the world have exposed gaps in foreign policy in addressing climate change. With developing economies being disproportionately affected by weather disasters, have climate summits like COP26 made enough progress to accelerate green transformation in these economies?

    Climate finance drives sustainable development, transitioning to a clean economy and building resilience. How can we leverage the private sector in incentivizing this green energy? With its abundance of natural advantages, India is scaling up through energy self-reliance and electric mobility. But, with a transition to low-carbon technologies, how will the Indian government mitigate the risks to citizens employed in the fossil fuel industries amidst the creation of new industries? What are the future implications of the current decarbonisation trends in India?

    Join Mathias Cormann, Secretary-General, OECD and Jayant Sinha, Member of Parliament, India, in discussing COP26 and green transformation at the Raisina Fireside.
