In collaboration with Bentham Brooks Institute, we’re having a discussion about Covid-19's impacts on the use of surveillance technology. With the rise of the pandemic, every country has started their own technological race by developing new, efficient methods of tracking and tracing its respective citizens. This has brought up many issues of privacy and data protection, as well as the question of a state’s rights and responsibilities when using such technologies.

As one of the world's political and economic giants, China has played a tremendous role in developing African economies. However, many are questioning China's political motives – believing China is conducting a form of neo-colonialism by deliberately indebting African countries. As part of our collaboration with UCL Africa Conference, we’re delighted to have Mr W. Gyude Moore and Ms Hangwei Li speak to us about whether the "Debt Trap Diplomacy" phenomenon is an accurate representation of current China-Africa relations and the effectiveness of Chinese investment and aid in the continent.

Home to some of the world’s largest economies and international financial hubs, East and Southeast Asia play a significant role in the wider global economy.
