Brazilian soccer’s rebuild mired in doubt amid a long wait for Ancelotti

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 14:16:53 GMT

SAO PAULO (AP) — Brazil is about to start its sixth attempt to add a sixth star to its famous soccer shirt. The vibe is very different from the start of its past five South American World Cup qualifying campaigns, though, because the Selecao is rebuilding with an interim coach, its star player not based in Europe and promising young players are either struggling for form or injured. New coach Fernando Diniz, Al-Hilal striker Neymar and low scoring Richarlison represent the different faces of Brazil’s uncertainty at the beginning of the road leading to the 2026 World Cup. And this time the Selecao will be under more pressure because its archrival, Argentina, is the World Cup champion. Diniz, a coach without a lot of silverware but with a lot of attacking style, will start his interim tenure Friday in the Amazon city of Belem against Bolivia. He is not expected to keep the position for long. The Fluminense coach, who has not left his club, is regarded as a caretaker until Carlo Ancelo...

BRICS hypocrisy on offshore reform

Andrea Binder is a Freigeist fellow and research group leader at the Otto Suhr Institute of Political Science at Freie Universität Berlin and the author of “Offshore Finance and State Power.” Ricardo Soares de Oliveira is professor of the International Politics of Africa at Oxford University and is currently writing a monograph titled “Africa Offshore.”Of all the challenges in global governance discussed at the latest BRICS summit in Johannesburg, the role of offshore financial centers should have loomed large. Instead, the issue barely got a noncommittal half paragraph on page eight of the summit’s 26-page declaration.In an example of breathtaking hypocrisy, BRICS countries rail against the global financial architecture but offer no collective action on offshore banking, and they also continue to be among its major users themselves.Data leaks such as the Pandora Papers and Panama Papers have shown just how vast amounts of cash end up in jurisdictions that ca...

Europe’s green deal will need broad support to succeed

Published Sun, 24 Nov 2024 14:16:53 GMT

Jean Pisani-Ferry, Simone Tagliapietra and Georg Zachmann are senior fellows at Bruegel.The European Union turned green into its defining color with the European Green Deal, setting ambitious climate targets and unleashing a wave of legislation to get there.But as decarbonization costs become more visible and changing political conditions constrain the politics of climate action, ensuring these achievements won’t fall short of commitments will be challenging. To this end, the EU must strengthen its climate and energy governance, and increase the financial resources allocated to supporting its goals.It must be clear to all that what the EU has embarked on is no less than an industrial revolution. A revolution that — unlike those of the past — is set against a tight deadline. And even if its benefits will by far outweigh its costs, this transformation will still entail significant pain along the way — even in strict economic terms.Some assets will lose value, some jobs will be destroy...
