    14. Why Chile's New Democratic Constitution Failed w/ Camila Vergara

    Over the last few years, Chile has seen an unprecedented level of public protest and mobilization against neoliberalism, eventually winning a commitment to replace the country’s military-dictatorship era Constitution. Thousands of local democratic councils emerged across the country, articulating new radical social, economic and political rights to be enshrined in a new Constitution. Despite the transformative potential of the new draft Constitution, it failed to pass a national plebiscite. To understand why, we talk to historian and journalist Dr Camila Vergara, who worked with Chileans in drafting the new Constitution. In a wide-ranging conversation, we also explore the contours of struggle of people’s movements within and outside the political process, and how they deal with setbacks and defeats. Follow Camila's coverage of Chile here: _________________________________________________________ Sunday Dispatch is recorded on Gadigal land. We pay our respects to their elders past and present.

    13. Nagorno-Karabakh: Nationalism and the Origins of Armenia and Azerbaijan's Conflict

    In 2020, a 44 day war saw Azerbaijan win the Nagorno- Karabakh territory from Armenia, who had held it for the past 25 years. One of the more forgotten global flashpoints, Nagorno-Karabakh has been long disputed between both nations. The reasons why can be found in the buried histories of the former Soviet Union, and the explosive rise of nationalism after it's breakup. We're joined this week by Armenian- American professor and author Ron Sunny, to discuss what was behind the recent turn of fortunes in Nagorno- Karabakh, and explore the deeper reasons behind territorial conflicts between countries, and the broader challenges that nationalism can unleash.  Some recent articles from Ron: https://jacobin.com/2023/01/armenia-azerbaijan-conflict-nagorno-karabakh-post-soviet-politics-history https://theconversation.com/mikhail-gorbachev-the-contradictory-legacy-of-soviet-leader-who-attempted-revolution-from-above-189681 _________________________________________________________ Sunday Dispatch is recorded on Gadigal land.

    Inflation- its something that pretty much all of us have been dealing with in the last couple of years. Petrol, food, rent, - they’ve all been going up. And it doesn’t seem to be stopping.

This week, we're talking to professor, author and economist Dr Radhika Desai to understand the structural reasons behind current inflation, and dispel some common myths and misunderstandings as to why it occurs.

    11. The hidden exploitation behind Artifical Intelligence w/ Nanjala Nyabola

    A recent Time magazine investigation uncovered that dozens of Kenyan workers were paid less than $2 per hour to view and process large amounts of disturbing material through content moderation work for popular new AI chatbot ChatGPT. As new and improving digital technologies increasingly become more a part of our life, how well do we understand the hidden labour exploitation ensuring the smooth operation of these services?  We're joined this week by writer and digital rights activist Nanjala Nyabola to talk about the class and racial divide across the digital work industry, and the importance of understanding how digital technologies are shaping our society.

    10. How Western Colonial Interests Made Modern Qatar

    A long shadow has hung over the FIFA World Cup in Qatar; appalling working conditions for migrant workers, suppression of gender and queer rights, and brazen economic and political corruption. This week we're joined by activist and video essayist Bes, to talk about how Qatar became the nation it is today. We chat about how past colonial interests and modern economic and political allegiances have supported Qatar's semi- monarchical society and impacted the workers and citizens in the Gulf region.

    7. Western Sahara: Africa's Last Colony- w/ Kamal Fadel

    Originally broadcast 1/5/22 Most African nations fought for and won their liberation from colonial rule in the 1950s-70s. Western Sahara was an unfortunate exception. Spain, its former colonial occupier, abandoned the colony in 1975, and Morocco has since occupied around 80% of the territory. Lindsay talks to Kamal Fadel, representative for Polisario, the national liberation movement of the Saharawi people. Kamal tells us of their ongoing fight for self-determination, the human rights abuses Morocco continues to perpetuate in the occupied territories, and how international business and certain key countries in the West have supported the occupation.
