The Communist Party of China has just celebrated its 100th anniversary by highlighting its economic track record at the helm of the Asian superpower. President Xi Jinping sought to capitalize on this occasion to further improve his standing within the party. Moreover, another recent anniversary went more unnoticed: July 9th marked half a century since the first visit to China by US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. This milestone was the starting point of the US-China rapprochement in the 1970s, and is worth reflecting on, given the recent tensions between the two countries.

In this EsadeGeo Exchange podcast, Óscar Fernández, senior researcher at EsadeGeo, comments these two events and their local and global significance with Dr Yu Jie, senior research fellow on China at Chatham House.

Los problemas en la cadena de suministro de microchips estan causando estragos desde hace meses en múltiples industrias. El profesor Xavier Ferràs comenta en este podcast las implicaciones de esta crisis

Since last winter, vaccines have become the backbone of most of the developed countries fight against the Covid-19 pandemic. After a record-breaking development by a handful of companies backed by governments and it’s approval by regulators, the administration has paced up rapidly and by the second half of this year, most of Europeans and North-Americans are expected to be vaccinated.

However, most of the developing countries are still waiting for significant amounts of doses, leading the United States to propose waving patent rights for Covid vaccines in order to ease its production. George Chondrakis, associate professor of strategic management at Esade Business School, discusses with Carlos Serrano, associate professor of economics and business at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, on intellectual property rights and its role in boosting vaccines supply around the world.

Pese a que los países más avanzados tienen los miembros más vulnerables de su población vacunados y empiezan a vislumbrar el fin de la pandemia, la Covid-19 sigue causando estragos en los países en vías de desarrollo, con los casos de la India y Argentina como ejemplos más dramáticos. Ignasi Martí, director del Instituto de Innovación Social de Esade, conversa con Lorena Cobas, responsable de Emergencias de UNICEF España, sobre el impacto de la pandemia en el resto del mundo y especialmente en la infancia, así como sobre los esfuerzos para hacer llegar la vacuna a todo el mundo.
