Climate change is a global problem that requires a global solution. Achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement is a collective task in which everyone has a role to play. However, the climate transition is taking place in a world characterized by great inequality. The poorest countries, which have contributed the least to the problem, are in many ways the hardest hit by climate change. In addition, they have less access to the resources needed to shape the climate transition and, at the same time, face the challenge of substantially increasing total energy generation to meet development needs. Finally, the transition itself may lead to unfair effects, such as misconducts in the extraction of needed resources.

This lack of international climate justice makes achieving the goals of the Paris Agreement and halting global warming impossible. It also increases inequality, poverty, instability and conflict. For these and other reasons, the AIV emphasizes that it is in the Dutch interest to step up efforts for international climate justice. In this report, the AIV makes concrete recommendations on how the Netherlands can work towards this.

«¿Por qué nos hemos apresurado tanto en derribar los diques que laboriosamente levantaron nuestros predecesores? ¿Tan seguros estamos de que no se avecinan inundaciones?», se preguntaba en 2010 el pensador británico Tony Judt en un libro balance cuya traducción española fue titulada Algo va mal. Hoy podemos mantener esta constatación –las inundaciones ya están entre nosotros– al examinar varias dimensiones globales del presente, en el contexto de lo que algunos han denominado el «retorno de la geopolítica».

Over the past five years, hunger has been on the rise again and the number of food crises is increasing. 828 million people were hungry around the world in 2022 – 46 million more than the previous year. According to the latest Global Report on Food Crises (World Food Programme, 2023), there were 58 food crises worldwide in 2022 and 258 million people were experiencing acute food insecurity, i.e. they were physically and economically unable to access enough safe, nutritious food. Undernutrition, which results in stunted growth, acute malnutrition and multiple deficiencies, is still the cause of almost half the deaths of children under five worldwide. Acute crisis situations aside, 3 billion people do not have access to a healthy diet. The food crisis, once the sad preserve of poor or war-torn countries, is now affecting industrialised countries. For example, 16% of French people say they do not eat their fill (Crédoc, 2023) and 26 million Americans went hungry in 2020 (U.S. Census Bureau).

Le Maroc actuel est saturé de références à la souveraineté économique, à l’instar de ce qu’a donné à voir la gestion du tremblement de terre de septembre 2023. Ce dossier, qui constitue le cœur de ce numéro double, a pour objectif de déconstruire cette notion ambivalente et plurielle. Il vise à mettre en évidence la diversité et la subtilité des enjeux politiques et économiques derrière les revendications toujours plus nombreuses de souveraineté. En abordant la souveraineté par ses modalités, le cas marocain permet de mettre en lumière les lieux d’exercice du pouvoir, les pratiques politiques ordinaires et les représentations de l’économie politique – autrement dit, les fondements économiques du pouvoir. Plus précisément, le dossier s’intéresse aux différentes manières par lesquelles la souveraineté économique est confortée ou revendiquée. Il rassemble des contributions sur les pouvoirs locaux, les trajectoires d’entreprises et d’entrepreneurs, la production et la vente de denrées alimentaires ou de cannabis, ou encore l’activité d’une commission nationale. Toutes éclairent l’importance, la diversité et la contingence des sources de souveraineté, ainsi que les conflits qu’elle suscite.

La democracia liberal no es la primera vez que vive una crisis profunda en la comunidad internacional. El término Democracia se utiliza en casi todos los regímenes, desde el franquista (democracia orgánica) a los de la órbita de la Antigua Unión Soviética (democracias populares), pasando por otros muchos, en todos los continentes, por lo que esta denominación no siempre tiene el mismo alcance y significado.
Hoy tenemos distopías para todos los gustos ideológicos, mientras el futuro parece cancelado como territorio de imaginación de un mundo mejor. En este contexto de «realismo capitalista», volver sobre la utopía –y sobre la posibilidad misma de imaginar futuros deseables– parece una condición para cualquier rearme ideológico progresista. Y a ello se dedica el Tema Central de este número de Nueva Sociedad.

Geopolitical developments are forcing the EU, and therefore the Netherlands, to consider ways of strengthening the international position of the euro. China, Russia, Brazil, Saudi Arabia, India and an increasing number of emerging economies are seeking an alternative to the current hegemony of the US dollar. The rules-based multilateral order is under pressure and the importance of power relations is increasing, including in the monetary domain. Insufficient consideration has been given to this strategic dimension in the Dutch debate. The AIV calls on the government to demonstrate greater urgency and commitment regarding this issue. In this advisory report the AIV makes a number of recommendations for strengthening the international role of the euro.

Türkiye's geopolitical role is now more important than ever. Located on the border between East and West and on the Black Sea, this NATO Ally maintains it can mediate in the war in Ukraine. In addition Türkiye fulfils a crucial role for the European Union in managing migration from fragile regions.
The relationship with Türkiye needs to be conceived in more strategic terms. Türkiye’s role on the world stage presents considerable dilemmas for the Netherlands. A proactive policy on the basis of various scenarios will enable the Netherlands to anticipate developments in and around Türkiye, according to the Advisory Council on International Affairs (AIV) in the advisory report ‘The Geopolitical Role of Türkiye: Trends and Future Scenarios’.

The rule of law, democracy and human rights are under serious pressure. Global power relations, the rise of autocratic regimes, migration issues and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine are compelling the Dutch government to change its approach to human rights policy. The strategy needs to change. These are the conclusions of the advisory report ‘Human Rights: A Core Interest in the Current Geopolitical Context’, which the Advisory Council on International Affairs (AIV) published on 7 July 2022.

The government announced in its coalition agreement that it would develop a Dutch Global Health Strategy. This is a positive step, as the alarming experiences with the COVID-19 pandemic and global inequality in access to healthcare and healthcare services have shown once more that existing global health policy is inadequate. However, a Global Health Strategy is only likely to succeed if the Netherlands aligns its priorities with those of the World Health Organization (WHO) and is prepared to promote global health in the broadest sense.

Rapid and structural changes in the global balance of political and economic power have prompted a debate in Europe on the need to modernise European industrial policy. Achieving greater strategic autonomy is a goal that is garnering widespread support in the EU, and one that the Dutch government endorses too, though it also stresses the importance of preserving an open economy. The future of European industrial policy is hugely significant for the Netherlands, not least because of the Dutch economy’s dependence on international markets, and the Netherlands’ strong industrial sector.
The government has asked the AIV to advise on how the Netherlands can best position itself in the EU debate on industrial policy. In its request for advice, the government also asks what the Netherlands’ stance should be towards international partners outside the EU. Lastly, the government asks the AIV to advise on whether the Netherlands needs to adjust its position on European industrial policy.

Fully autonomous weapon systems cannot be deployed in accordance with the rules of international humanitarian law and must therefore be prohibited. There is also a need for better regulation of semi-autonomous weapon systems. The AIV and the CAVV call on the Dutch government to make efforts to this end. The Netherlands should also invest in the development and responsible use of new defence technologies in collaboration with NATO countries.

Social protection, particularly income security, demonstrably improves the position of the poorest people in Africa. The Advisory Council on International Affairs (AIV) believes that Dutch involvement in social protection programmes is most successful when it is part of a multilateral effort and takes account of local conditions. There is no point in the Netherlands participating in social protection initiatives if locally there is a lack of political will, stability or trust between citizens and their government. To make long-term funding possible, the AIV also recommends that the Netherlands press internationally for combating tax avoidance.
