  The 1993 Bow Bazaar bomb blast in Calcutta brought an end to the kothas in the busy commercial district. Over the next few years, as dance bars and disco music replaced the old-world charm of mujras, kathak and thumri, the tawaifs began to abandon the profession. Rekhabai, a courtesan, found herself at a crossroads, facing an uncertain future. Where should she go? What should she do next?  
  Originally from the Kanjarbhat tribe, Rekhabai was sold and trained as a tawaif while she was still a child. In the 1980s, when kothas were no longer recognized as centres for aesthetics, and society disapproved of the tawaif's art, as they felt it was sex work in the guise of adakari (performance), Rekhabai made a name for herself in Calcutta and Bombay as a singing-dancing star. It was an era when she had to dodge guns, goons and Ghalib's ghazals to carve out her own destiny, provide for her large family and raise her son in an English-medium boarding school. 
  In this poignant memoir, she narrates the unbelievable story of her survival to her son with candour, grace and humour, never missing a beat and always full of heart.

  Jena 1800 - The Republic of Free...

  Around the turn of the nineteenth century, a steady stream of young German poets and thinkers coursed to the town of Jena to make history. The French Revolution and the Napoleonic Wars had dealt a one-two punch to the dynastic system. Confidence in traditional social, political, and religious norms had been replaced by a profound uncertainty that was as terrifying for some as it was exhilarating for others. Nowhere was the excitement more palpable than among the extraordinary group of poets, philosophers, translators, and socialites who gathered in this Thuringian village. 
   
   
   
  Jena became the place for the young and intellectually curious, the site of a new departure, of philosophical disruption. Influenced by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, then an elder statesman and artistic eminence, the leading figures among the disruptors—the translator August Wilhelm Schlegel; the philosophers Friedrich "Fritz" Schlegel and Friedrich Schelling; the dazzling, controversial intellectual Caroline Schlegel, married to August; Dorothea Schlegel, a poet and translator, married to Fritz; and the poets Ludwig Tieck and Novalis—resolved to rethink the world, to establish a republic of free spirits. They didn't just question inherited societal traditions; with their provocative views of the individual and of nature, they revolutionized our understanding of freedom and reality.

  Rethinking global value chains...

  The uneven recovery from the 2008 global financial crisis led to a stabilisation of international trade and capital flows. However, in the following years the surge of protectionist measures and deepening rivalries between big powers precipitated a crisis of the rule-based multilateral order. The pandemic crisis and the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine have boosted international economic fragmentation along geopolitical lines and may drive the global economy towards a reversal of the globalisation process that marked the second half of the 20th century.
  Mounting cross-border restrictions on the exchange of essential goods and services during the recent poly-crisis has caused big disruptions in global production networks evamping the debate on the future of global economic interdependence, and the potentialities and downsides of reshoring, nearshoring or friendshoring processes. Indeed, the reconfiguration of global value chains (GVCs) has been increasingly debated as an economic policy tool to secure the supply of critical products and establish economic security at the national level. Such defensive posturing raises concerns over how to manage emerging trade-offs between the benefits of openness (economic integration) and those of autonomy (economic security).
  The Istituto Affari Internazionali (IAI), in the framework of its partnership with Intesa Sanpaolo, launched a task force of experts to contribute to the current discussion on the implications and possible future configurations of international production networks at a time of a resurgence of national economic security. The overall research effort has involved different regional perspectives and multidisciplinary approaches to shed light on the implications of the policy-driven process of international economic fragmentation in the fields of trade, technology, labour, international finance, global public goods and other dimensions of international economic relations.
