Rising India's Hidden Transcripts: The Long Shadow of 'Nuclear Apartheid' in the Global Nuclear Order
The condition of rising powers’ simultaneous reproduction of, and resistance to, dominant modes of global leadership in world politics poses a puzzle. Scholarly work both anticipates that the imperatives of socialisation will be central to the ultimate recognition of rising powers as great powers and expects future ‘non-Western’ great powers to enact global leadership distinctively. Yet if rising powers are socialised into a hegemonic great power identity, what remains unique in their visions of greatness after they have secured recognition?

How can we improve cooling sustainability for factory workers? Learning from the case of Bangladesh's ready-made garment industry
The ready-made garment (RMG) industry in Bangladesh is a mainstay of the economy, a strong driver of economic growth and a major contributor to GDP and export earnings. The industry accounts for 82% of exports by value and 12-15% of GDP. In 2021-22 it generated USD42.6 billion to the economy and employed around 4 million people, of whom 60% are women. As such, it provides financial independence to young women of modest education – a rarity in low- and middle-income countries.
