Bailey, Georgina (9 July 2021). "Kwasi Kwarteng MP: 'People should look at history with a bit more humility' ". Politicshome.com. Archived from the original on 30 August 2022 . Retrieved 5 August 2022. Alberto Fernández, President of Argentina, said that multilateralism is the best tool for cooperation, because hegemonic agendas limit economic and scientific cooperation and affect international peace. Noting Azerbaijan’s reported military operations to take control of Nagorno-Karabakh, he urged the international community to act to prevent new ethnic, racial or religious persecution and called on the world’s multilateral organizations to regain their strength to enforce international rules.

Expressing his country’s support for Ukraine, he stressed that the Russian Federation alone stands in the way of peace. He asked: “If we allow Ukraine to be carved up, is the independence of any nation secure?” Urging those present to “stand up to this naked aggression today and deter other would-be aggressors tomorrow”, he also underlined the need to preserve the planet, protect human dignity and provide opportunity for people everywhere.

The usual one-word pieces of advice on this topic – "Why?", "Don't", or "Write" – are not sufficient to fill a book, so this sensible manual covers topics such as "time management" (I wish), choosing a degree course (if you think you need one), dealing with publishers and contracts, "networking", having a day job, writing online, and so on. O'Reilly provides illuminating capsule interviews with authors, publishers and agents, and has a nice line in preemptively deflating the starry-eyed reader's expectations: "One of the unspoken truths about getting published is that nothing happens at all [...] The indifference of humanity will be inexplicable, but crushing."

Turning to climate and environmental issues, he said that following the 2017 Paris Agreement on climate change, Turkmenistan has undertaken efforts at the national level reduce and eliminate the adverse impact of methane emissions. Welcoming the international community’s effort to implement the Global Methane Pledge, he said that his country recently approved a road map to examine its accession to this initiative. He went on to urge the United Nations to pay close attention to ecological issues in Central Asia, highlighting the need for a strategic approach. Turkmenistan thus proposes to establish, in Ashgabat, a regional centre for technologies related to climate change in Central Asia. On the Caspian Sea, he recalled the adoption of the Convention on the Legal Status of the Caspian Sea by the coastal countries. Expressing hope for their cooperation with the United Nations, he put forward a Caspian ecology initiative — an international platform for interaction on relevant issues. Only three established democracies use exclusively first-past-the-post plurality voting to choose their legislators: Canada, the United Kingdom, and the United States. France adds a second round (run-off election) in its single-member district system, and Australia adds the alternative vote, or ranked choice voting, which acts as an instant runoff in its single-member-district system; for more, see “Electoral System Design Database,” International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance, accessed January 10, 2022, https://www.idea.int/data-tools/data/electoral-system-design.

Systemic interventions can help reduce polarization before polarization imperils democracy. Whether through institutional reform, voter education, or sounding the alarm about the dangers to democracy, policymakers, activists, and civic leaders should urgently prioritize systemic efforts that will change the incentives undergirding the dangerous binary logic of pernicious polarization. Such reforms should aim to lower the high stakes of elections and give voters more voice and more choice. 14 The elected 10 members of the UNSC (E10) also shape its agenda, its work and its procedures, and have increasingly built coalitions to leverage their collective power against P5 interests. The UNSC also has two important roles through which states can influence both the council’s outputs and, notably, its working methods: 1) penholding, the informal practice by which one or more of the UNSC’s members initiate and chair the informal drafting process for UNSC resolutions and 2) the rotating position of the UNSC presidency. Practical changes in both arenas have enabled the UNSC’s elected members to shape the council’s work in new ways. Coalition BuildingAlok Sharma becomes full-time COP26 president and Kwasi Kwarteng is appointed as Secretary of State for Business". GOV.UK (Press release). 8 January 2021. Archived from the original on 8 January 2021 . Retrieved 16 November 2021. Kwasi Kwarteng was first elected as the Conservative MP for Spelthorne in 2010, being reelected in 2019 with a majority of 18,393.

The crisis of contemporary democracy has become a major subject of political science in recent years. Despite this, the symptoms of this crisis – the vote for Brexit and Trump, among others – were not foreseen. Nor were the underlying causes of this new constellation of politics. The procedures surrounding penholding are largely unwritten but critical to both the form and content of the UNSC’s work. From the U.N.’s founding through 2008-2009, penholding was traditionally the provenance of the United States, the United Kingdom and France, although other members sometimes lead on particular issue areas. While these three permanent members still largely serve as penholders, today the penholder role is more than just drafting texts and chairing their negotiation: it involves a full range of leadership on specific issues and has increasingly included E10 members, either in collaboration with these Western powers, or in a shared role with another elected member E10 members. We do not make a causal inference here that pernicious polarization causes democratic deterioration, but our prior research does show a strong correlation even lagged for one to five years.
