Diffusion of power and multiplexed governance: Evolving networks and clusters for global governance of AI infrastructures
Beginning with the United States in 2016, more than 70 countries and international organizations have published strategies and policy recommendations for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructures. This article locates these policies in the shift from a hierarchical distribution of power to a flatter diffusion of power in which systemic interactions can be top-down, bottom-up or horizontal. A diffusion of power across multiple actors and region…
Evaluating the Role of Psychological Factors in Enhancing Film Production Imagination
Film production is the process of creating a film, involving stages such as progress, pre-production, invention, post-production, and sharing. It encompasses planning, scripting, shooting, editing, and finalizing the film for public viewing. The process of imagination drives innovation in scripting, directing, and cinematography, resulting in unique, engaging experiences that captivate audiences with their emotive stories. The principle of this i…
Entangled Narratives: Insights from Social and Computer Sciences on National Artificial Intelligence Infrastructures
How do countries narrate their values and priorities in artificial intelligence infrastructures in comparative national and global contexts? This paper analyzes the policies governing national and regional artificial intelligence infrastructures to advance an understanding of “entangled narratives” in global affairs. It does so by utilizing artificial intelligence techniques that assist with generalizability and model building without sacrificing…

The reported study was undertaken to determine which soil health indicators showed measurable signs of improvement, during the first year of the process of introducing a Conservation Agriculture (CA) cropping system in rainfed areas in Madhya Pradesh, India. Soil health indicators of soil aggregate stability, soil-atmosphere CO2 fluxes, water infiltration, soil moisture, potentially mineralisable nitrogen, soil organic content and bulk density we…
Trade Negotiations at the (Possible) End of Multilateral Institutionalism
Multilateral negotiations are often facilitated through international organizations, but are not coterminous with them. This essay advances a few ‘mid-level’ propositions with respect to the negotiation structure that provides an overall context and the negotiation process where tactics guide the exchange of concessions. In terms of negotiation structure, a stable institutional structure is giving rise to a transitional one resulting in system sp…
Race, culture, and economics: An example from North-South trade relations
This essay refines the understanding of culture and race – with operational and temporal dynamics – to explain North-South trade outcomes. Following traditions in economic sociology and anthropology, culture is presented as a toolkit of values. The recent rise of racism and xenophobia as values associated with populism can be traced to cultural toolkits that have sedimented histories. The cultural unsettledness of the present times has brought th…

Development finance 2.0: Do participation and information technologies matter
This essay critically examines the discourse of participation in development finance directed at the poor in the Global South from national and international development agencies. This discourse, often termed financial inclusion, posits the ability of development actors to reach the poor involving them in important economic decisions affecting their lives, provides access to products that improve their material conditions, and ensures their credi…
Agriculture and Its Discontents: Coalitional Politics at the wto with Special Reference to India’s Food Security Interests
The demise of the Doha round of trade negotiations is often attributed to deadlocks in agricultural negotiations between the developed and the developing world. Why has agriculture been so difficult to negotiate? This article explains North-South agricultural negotiations through the lens of coalition politics, especially the shift from bloc to issue-based diplomacy from the developing world. We argue against the proposition in the negotiation li…
Introduction: Emerging Powers and the wto
International trade has become increasingly important to emerging market economies. Concurrently, increasing trade liberalization through the multilateral Doha Round, launched in November 2001, from the World Trade Organization ( wto ) has been a failure. The essays in this issue evaluate the role of Brazil, China, and India at the wto examining in particular their domestic and coalitional constraints, the fairness and justice claims underlying t…

Diffusion of Power and Diplomacy: New Meanings, Problem Solving, and Deadlocks in Multilateral Negotiations
The classic hierarchical distribution of power featuring nation-states is now increasingly supplemented with a diffusion of power with multiple actors. A hierarchical concentration of power is predicated toward bargaining coercion and great powers can impose their solutions on the weak. Diffused power allows for joint problem solving among multiple actors through negotiations but also makes reaching agreement hard because of the relatively greate…
Cultural Networks and Unesco: Fostering Heritage Preservation Betwixt Idealism and Participation
Cultural issues are prominent in UNESCO and almost define the identity of the organization. Despite the various controversies, this essay will demonstrate that the most durable influence of UNESCO's contributions to cultural heritage is in mobilizing global cultural networks that inform the collective understandings and governance of this issue. The recognition that cultural heritage is linked to economic development provides added importance to …

Global Cultural Policies and Power
Representations shape and change identity. The cavemen in Plato’s parables and the schoolgirl Tambu’s female relatives mentioned above find their identities—and thoughts and actions thereof—shaped and constrained by such representations. The symbiotic relationship between changes in identity and the circulation of creative representations seems obvious here. Dangarembga’s cultural representations also evoke the culture of everyday life for the wo…

Paulo Freire: Possibilities for Dialogic Communication in a Market-Driven Information Age
This essay examines the legacy and challenges of Paulo Freire's ideas for a world abounding in information and communication or, in the case in this essay, representational technologies. Will these technologies help foster possibilities of emancipatory articulation or further the voiceless oppression of the marginalized? Can they do so outside the context of a radical struggle? The unorthodox argument in this essay leans toward emancipatory possi…

Sex Workers and Cultural Policy: Mapping the Issues and Actors in Thailand
This article deals with the deeply controversial side of cultural tourism in mapping the position of the sex industry. In doing so, it places sex tourism in two epistemic contexts: one context expands the notion of cultural policies, the other notes the implicit and explicit origins and effects of cultural policies affecting sex work, although these positions are not mutually exclusive. Sex tourism, we argue, poses a particular challenge to the u…

From Pots to E-commerce: What Have the Developing Countries Learnt About Property Rights Over the Last 50 Years
The challenge of electronic commerce is new to the developing world. Will this technology-driven initiative allow developing countries in Asia to leapfrog? Electronic commerce will trot or walk depending upon the property rights shaping its behaviour. The history of information infrastructural provision teaches us that efficient property rights can only be expected in rare circumstances, when the polity has a highly developed civil society and ex…
Challenges of rural development in India
The author attempts to assess the level and nature of development in rural India, which presently comprises about three-fourths of the total population, during the last five decades of country's Independence. It has been argued that the progress made so far is not up to scratch. The tasks ahead for rural development with an eye to ameliorating the standard of living of the rural people are quite gigantic and arduous in the face of the country's r…
