Behind the Scenes of China's Fifth Plenum

In this episode of Pekingology, Senior Fellow Henrietta Levin is joined by Victor Shih, one of the world's leading experts in Chinese politics, as well as Edgard Kagan, Freeman Chair in China Studies at CSIS, to unpack the Chinese Communist Party's 5th Plenum - a critical meeting in which Xi Jinping sought to strengthen the Party and reinforce his personal control over it. Henrietta, Victor, and Edgard discuss why the plenums still matter in an era of one-man rule, why this plenum elevated so-called "intra-party democracy," what it's actually like to attend the plenum, and what this all means for U.S.-China relations.

Can Nigeria’s 2027 Election Deliver Hope?

As Nigeria prepares for the 2027 national elections, campaign season is already underway. After the promise of “change” in 2015 and “renewed hope” in 2023, Nigerians are weighing persistent frustrations over the cost of living, insecurity, and concerns about the credibility of the electoral process, at a time when democracy itself is under strain across West Africa. In this episode of Into Africa, Oge Onubogu is joined by Professor Jibrin Ibrahim, Non-Resident Senior Fellow at the Centre for Democracy and Development - West Africa (CDD-West Africa), a distinguished Nigerian political scientist and democracy advocate with more than three decades of experience across academia and civil society. Together, they explore what Nigeria’s security and economic challenges reveal about the state of its democracy, the relationship between citizens and the state, and what is at stake as the country heads toward 2027.
