LATEST NEWS:

	Degrowth is many things. It is, according to Vincent Liegey, spokesperson for the French Degrowth Movement, a "bomb word" that often prompts heated discussions. It is also, he went on to explain, a multidimensional, interdisciplinary field of research that seeks to deconstruct the growth paradigm. Liegey noted that although some people in some parts of the world have benefited enormously from growing economies in recent decades, many of these same people don't feel that they are living meaningful lives.
	"The past is speaking quite loudly in the present," observed Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director of the Center on U.S.-China Relations at the Asia Society in New York. Schell was commenting on the powerful influence that past events and former leaders have on the current "China model," and the way that China is perceived by others.
	During a presentation at the LatinEast conference at Corvinus University in Budapest on November 5, Associate Dean Julia Buxton argued that existing drug control strategies have failed and must change to adapt to today's reality. The international drug control framework is based on ideas and approaches that were popularized by the United States over 120 years ago, explained Buxton, citing the US alcohol prohibition experience (1920-1933).
	"States have neglected the environmental aspects of their fiduciary duty," said Erasmus Mundus Visiting Scholar Klaus Bosselmann. He went on to note that the greatest threat to humanity today is not terrorism, but climate change. Despite the threat that climate change poses, there is no sense of urgency among the public – or among the negotiators who will be gathering for the COP21 meeting in Paris next week.
	SPP Visiting Professor Kinga Göncz has been appointed by UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon to a distinguished panel on health technology innovation and access. The panel, which is co-chaired by Ruth Dreifuss, former president of Switzerland, and Festus Mogae, former president of Botswana, has been tasked "to ensure that everyone can access quality treatment at affordable costs while also incentivizing innovation and the development of new technologies such as vaccines, medicines and diagnostics."
