Youth career development is key for Jordan’s economic future. Boasting one of the youngest populations in the world – with 63% of citizens under the age of 30 – the status of young people impacts nearly every facet of Jordanian society. Despite a high level of access to education for both men and women, almost one third of Jordanian youth are unemployed.

When the United States and its G7 partners imposed sanctions on Russia’s central bank and barred Western financial institutions from doing business with Russian counterparties, commentators warned of far-reaching changes in the global monetary and financial order. Other countries would see those sanctions as yet another step in the West’s “weaponization” of finance.

In selecting their party’s nominee for the U.S. Presidential Election in November next year, Republicans must choose between former President Donald Trump and a man whose policy platform is very close to his and 32 years his junior -- Florida Governor Ronald DeSantis.

We are at the halfway point for implementing the Sustainable Development Goals (from 2015 to 2030), but we are not halfway to achieving them. In fact, in many critical areas – from poverty to food security – progress has been reversed in recent years, owing to severe and compounding crises. In this difficult environment, governments worldwide must urgently recommit to the SDGs, including their underlying promise to leave no one behind. The challenge is formidable.

In January, I expressed optimism that a recession across the Western world (and beyond) was becoming less likely, and high-frequency indicators since then have indeed supported a benign outlook. This is especially true in the United States and China, now that it has reopened, but it also applies to continental Europe, the United Kingdom (to a more modest degree), and many developing and emerging economies.

A spectre haunts the state of international geopolitics. It is a spectre that has nought to do with military confrontations, nuclear weapons, or the most advanced of gadgets that states are resorting to in order to prevail in tightly fought battles; indeed, it also has very little of an overlap with the technological, semiconductor, and other forms of capital-intensive competitions that are emerging between great powers, and powers that are yet to be great.

While ASEAN countries are benefiting from rapid economic development, they are also facing problems in housing, environment, and law and order issues caused by increasing urban population. They hope to solve these problems with smart city solutions. On the other hand, developed countries such as the United Kingdom and Canada are also experiencing their own problems, such as inadequate social efficiency, insufficient energy, and ageing population. They are all seeking smart city solutions.

We live in an era of polarisation. From radical identity politics, to racist bigotry directed towards immigrants; from chauvinistic militarism and nationalism, to unapologetic and unnuanced embracing of problematic extremities in ideologies and policy platforms. This is an age where political poles are rewarded, not punished, for their failure to comply with and make peace with reality.
