Each year The Economist selects its country of the year: a place that has improved the most. Improvement, though, was damnably rare in 2021. We run through our nominations and the shortlist, and take a close look at why the winner won. And we examine what has gone on in South and South-East Asia, which offered no contenders whatsoever.

When you think of battles involving broadswords and longbows you are probably thinking back to the time of Braveheart.
But what if I told you that those weapons were being used much more recently in a modern mechanized war?
...well, at least one guy was using them in World War II.
Learn more about ‘Mad’ Jack Churchill, the man who brought ancient weapons to a modern war, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Following World War II the American government and philanthropic foundations fundamentally remade American universities into sites for producing knowledge about the world as a collection of distinct nation-states. As neoliberal reforms took hold in the 1980s, visions of the world made popular within area studies and international studies found themselves challenged by ideas and educational policies that originated in business schools and international financial institutions. Academics within these institutions reimagined the world instead as a single global market and higher education as a commodity to be bought and sold. By the 1990s, American universities embraced this language of globalization, and globalization eventually became the organizing logic of higher education.
In Making the World Global: U.S. Universities and the Production of the Global Imaginary (Duke UP, 2019), Isaac A. Kamola examines how the relationships among universities, the American state, philanthropic organizations, and international financial institutions created the conditions that made it possible to imagine the world as global. Examining the Center for International Studies, Harvard Business School, the World Bank, the Social Science Research Council, and NYU, Kamola demonstrates that how we imagine the world is always symptomatic of the material relations within which knowledge is produced.
Dr. Kamola is currently an Associate Professor of Political Science and President of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP) chapter at Trinity College in Hartford, Connecticut.

I’m Sorry is another Lemonada Media series produced by the same team as In the Bubble! As a holiday treat, we’re sharing a recent episode of theirs that features In the Bubble’s very own Andy Slavitt. I'm Sorry is all about apologies and how they play out in the court of public opinion. It’s hosted by comedians Hoja Lopez, Mohanad Elshieky, and Kiki Monique. This show unpacks the latest in Twitter gaffes, petty beef, and not-so-subtle shade. Check out I’m Sorry to explore the latest in celebrity apologies, help guests and listeners get their own redemption, and say sorry to stars who never got the apology they deserved. In this episode, Kiki, Hoja, and Mohanad sit down with Andy to answer all of your COVID-related apology questions. Who owes us an apology for Omicron? Does Trump need to say sorry to Biden for exposing him to COVID? Should we feel remorse for the joy we get when anti-vaxxers get sick? I’m Sorry is back with brand new episodes on January 7th.
Please note, this episode contains mature themes and may not be appropriate for all listeners.
