How can Australian universities ensure that any partnerships they have with Chinese universities don't also involve the Chinese military? They use the Chinese Defence University Tracker! Why is Latin America imploding and what happens after the protests there and in Hong Kong die down? What happens next? The bin chicken is considered to be a pest to most Australians but not to the Ancient Egyptians. For them they were so much more. Right now it seems as if most of the world has taken to the streets to protest. As Moisés Naím explains, 'in a world aflame with protest Latin America stands out as a raging ten-alarm fire'.
