“…China has established considerable internal initiatives to address climate change, realizing the harmful effects of pollution and the need for sustainable growth. This entails significant investments in renewable energy, encouraging electric vehicles, and implementing a national carbon trading system, becoming the world's largest producer of solar panels and wind turbines (Castro & Zhang, 2022;Shapiro, 2016).…”

India-Israel ties follow an interesting trajectory. From India's refusal to the partition plan of historic Palestine to carve a separate Jewish state in 1948 to the very close bonds that now define bilateral ties, the relationship has come a long way. The recent Hamas-Israel war has put the spotlight on the India-Israel bilateral relationship. India, which while since 1948 had a decidedly pro-Palestinian approach, has also over the decades been cultivating strong and close ties with Israel. These ties have most specifically flourished in defense, but are not restricted to it. Following the October 7, 2023 attacks by Palestinian militant group Hamas on Israel, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as did many Western leaders, immediately condemned the Hamas attack and later reiterated that the "people of India stand firmly with Israel in this difficult hour." This pronouncement immediately sparked outraged commentaries, on New Delhi's approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Charges were leveled against Modi for a "muscular" foreign and domestic policy, in a bid to emulate Israel's tactics in the Palestinian Territories, based on a shared "Islamophobia" of Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the ruling Likud party in Israel. This paper will attempt to unpack India's evolving relationship with Israel and outline factors driving this relationship and whether these have eroded India's long-standing position on the Palestinian cause.

“…Cooperation towards the rebalance of powers in international relations comprises some initiatives, such as indirect transformation of existing international institutions (Abdenur 2016;Dann and Riegner 2019;Stuenkel 2016b), creation of competing multilateral institutions (Dann and Riegner 2019;Stuenkel 2017), re-definition of the terms and governance of existing international regimes. Some examples are the re-imagination of institutional standards concerning (i) protection of the environment (Castro and Wang 2023;Castro and Zhang 2022;Vazquez 2020) -including the recent joint statement on combating climate change (Ministério de Relações Exteriores do Brasil 2023), and (ii) trade and investment (Bath 2017) -including the recent agreements "for direct operation between the Brazilian real and the Chinese yuan -with no in-between dollarization" ("Brazil's President Lula makes third state visit to China." 2023).…”
