Who Will Pay for Trump’s Tariffs?

Tackling Gender Discrimination at Work and at Home Discrimination still runs deep in many areas of our society. It’s unfair, it weakens social cohesion, and it robs us of valuable human potential – something we can hardly afford as advanced countries face demographic decline. Women, along with ethnic and religious minorities and people who don’t conform to mainstream standards of sexuality or appearance, are often the primary targets. This issue focuses on the discrimination faced by women, who have become the main victims of the backlash against inclusion policies, particularly those pushed back overseas. Maybe affirmative action – like gender quotas – has sometimes gone too far. But that doesn’t mean we should undo decades of progress in civil rights. So how do we push back against this rollback and keep moving forward in the fight for gender equality?

In the vacuum left by the United States, Europe can lead an alliance of middle powers Like all populists, Trump knows how to destroy, not how to rebuild. In just fifteen months, he has driven a wedge between the United States and its longtime allies, sparked new conflicts, dismantled the international order, and weakened American democracy. To avoid ending up on the “imperial menu” invoked by the Canadian prime minister at Davos, middle powers must forge new balances and new forms of global cooperation in managing shared resources and conflicts. Europe is the natural candidate to lead this effort. As a successful model of genuine multilateralism, it has already demonstrated its capacity for coordinated action. At a time when external security has once again become a central concern, Europe’s social welfare model can also prove to be a strategic asset.
