I wrote a book on sovereign wealth funds with @DrAdam_Dixon and @pjschena. It was a fantastic journey with two of my best mentors on this fascinating topic. Time to reflect on the relationship between the state and markets. Thanks @agendapub Find it here amazon.es/Sovereign-Weal…

Xi Is Making China’s Premier His Top Messenger on World Stage Happy to be quoted alongside several great analysts in this @business story about a trend I wrote about in @ChinaFile and @ForeignPolicy earlier this year "Three years ago, Chinese Premier Li Qiang took on a role largely stripped of its former glory. Now, in a surprise twist, he’s becoming President Xi Jinping’s top emissary on the world stage. When China’s No. 2 official steps out in Johannesburg at the first Group of Twenty leaders’ meeting ever held in Africa this weekend, it’ll mark his third stint representing Xi at a major conference. It’s a role Li debuted at the G-20 leaders’ summit in India two years ago, and then reprised this summer at a BRICS top-level gathering in Brazil. Li’s growing international profile stands out in Chinese politics. While previous premiers were given greater control over steering the world’s second biggest economy, and had memorable moments with foreign dignitaries at home, none represented their president at overseas summits such as the G-20. The shift comes as Xi dials back his own travel. The 72-year-old has remained in Asia this year, with the exception of traveling to Russia — his most geographically curtailed schedule outside Covid. Li’s larger global footprint shows that, despite Xi’s sweeping purge of ministers and top military generals, reliance on his inner circle of loyalists appears to be only growing. While China’s top leader is delegating abroad, there’s no suggestion anyone is being groomed for succession, with Xi widely expected to clinch a fourth term at the next congress in 2027. 'Xi is prioritizing summits where China holds outsized influence or are close to home,' said Neil Thomas, a fellow for Chinese politics at the @AsiaPolicy Center for China Analysis. 'As Xi grows older and more secure in his grip on power, he seems increasingly willing to delegate.' 'Li Qiang has effectively become Xi’s primary diplomatic interlocutor,' he added. ... 'I don’t think Xi’s absence suggests that China is neglecting the Global South,' said Yun Sun, director of the China Program at the @StimsonCenter . 'Attending large summits with too many different regions and interests represented is less effective or efficient than the smaller China-subregion cooperation mechanisms.' ... While Xi once traveled more than the US president, he now prefers what Beijing calls 'home-court diplomacy.' During a back-to-back military parade and security summit this summer, Xi had high-profile photo opportunities with leaders including Putin, Modi and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un — all without leaving China. Following those events, the state-run People’s Daily published a feature detailing Xi’s intense six-day schedule, in an apparent attempt to deflect criticisms he looked tired during the pageantry. 'Plenty of leaders are willing to travel to China, and he’d rather have them come to him,' said Bloomberg Economics’ @ThatJennieWelch . 'Over the past few years, China has made very good use of its senior officials in international diplomatic efforts.' When filling in for Xi, however, Li hasn’t always enjoyed the same level of engagement as his boss, possibly because he’s not a full counterpart to other heads of states. Li stayed low profile during his first G-20 in India, for example, securing just four bilateral meetings compared to the 11 that Xi held one year earlier. Still, Li’s platform as an economic official could be useful in keeping talks away from more sensitive diplomatic issues, said @dylanloh , associate professor at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore. 'Sending Li Qiang will help in some ways ensure the task remains economically focused,' he added."

Hoy publico en @elconfidencial 'España y Europa: entre la centralidad y la periferia', en que intento analizar las razones de esta oscilación histórica de España. blogs.elconfidencial.com/mundo/reflexio…

Former head of MI6, Sir Alex Younger on the new era of "strong men" and "hard power" in #geopolitics, how the range of outcomes for #Ukraine is wide open, why the global rules-based order could only exist under unipolarity, and why #Europe can't "free ride" on defense any longer and it must quickly build up the necessary military force. Sobering analysis. Worth watching. @BBCNewsnight

We have a deal. #Unity All 27 leaders agreed on an additional €50 billion support package for Ukraine within the EU budget. This locks in steadfast, long-term, predictable funding for #Ukraine. EU is taking leadership & responsibility in support for Ukraine; we know what is at stake.
