In this two-part episode of Visions of a Better World Podcast, Max Tallberg and Astrid Aminoff are joined by Professor Heikki Patom\\u00e4ki and Dr. Konsta Kotilainen both contributors to &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.bloomsbury.com\\\/au\\\/deweaponizing-interdependence-9781350574809\\\/\\&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Deweaponizing Interdependence: Bringing the Idea of International Clearing Union into the Twenty-First Century (available open access)&lt;\\\/em&gt;&lt;\\\/a&gt;, to discuss the book\\u2019s central arguments and their relevance in today\\u2019s increasingly fragmented world economy.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The conversation explores how the current international monetary system contributes to global instability, geopolitical tensions, and economic inequalities. In the first episode, the guests discuss the weaponization of economic interdependence, the limits of monetary hegemony, and why the absence of adequate global monetary institutions may itself be generating conflict. In the second episode, the focus shifts to solutions and the idea of a Global Clearing Union: an international institution that would facilitate trade and financial exchanges through a shared accounting system, helping to reduce global imbalances while encouraging cooperation between both debtor and surplus countries. Inspired by John Maynard Keynes\\u2019s original proposal, the discussion considers whether such reforms could contribute to a more stable, democratic, and equitable global order, and what they could mean for the future of humanity and global cooperation.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/patomaki.fi\\\/en\\\/\\&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Heikki Patom\\u00e4ki&lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/a&gt; is Professor of World Politics and Global Political Economy at the University of Helsinki and one of Finland\\u2019s leading scholars of global political economy, democracy, and global governance.

Global Visions in a Contested World explored the state of the world in 2026 and what today\\u2019s shifting power dynamics mean for societies most affected by global inequality. As geopolitical tensions escalate and global governance faces growing contestation, the discussion asked: where does power truly lie, and whose futures are prioritized?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;A central theme was the meaning of a \\u201cmultipolar world.\\u201d Does multipolarity create new space for countries and communities outside traditional centers of power, or does it merely reshape old hierarchies under new forms?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The panel connected global dynamics \\u2014 including deglobalization, autocratization, colonialism, neoliberalism, and populism \\u2014 to everyday realities such as livelihoods, public services, migration, citizenship, and the struggle to meet basic needs. The discussion also explored what is often missing from mainstream narratives, and where there may still be room for solidarity, political agency, and alternative futures.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Guests:&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;&lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/waldenbello.org\\&quot;&gt;Walden Bello&lt;\\\/a&gt; is a renowned scholar and activist, Honorary Senior Research Fellow at SUNY Binghamton, and co-founder of Focus on the Global South in Bangkok.

If the future is not predetermined, how can it be shaped, and by whom? The conversation explores the idea that the future is fundamentally open, while acknowledging the constraints posed by climate change, technological developments, and shifting geopolitical dynamics. What does it mean to act under uncertainty, and how can political imagination be sustained in times of crisis?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Sirkka Heinonen emphasises futures literacy, collective visioning, and the distinction between possible, probable, and preferable futures. She highlights the need to imagine alternatives and develop forms of anticipatory governance. Thomas Wallgren reflects on the ethical and political dimensions of uncertainty, questioning dominant narratives around technological progress and emphasising responsibility, agency, and the power of truth. The discussion engages with the limits of current political frameworks and how we understand expertise and collective action.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The episode brings together philosopher and political thinker Professor Thomas Wallgren (University of Helsinki) and Professor Emerita of Futures Research Sirkka Heinonen (University of Turku).&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Thomas Wallgren\\u2019s work focuses on democracy, transformative politics, and the structural conditions shaping political possibility.

How can we respond to these interconnected challenges? What kinds of values, visions, and global cooperation might guide humanity toward a more just and sustainable future? We were honoured to host Docent and University Lecturer Risto Marjomaa (University of Helsinki) for this year\\u2019s State of the World lecture, where he outlined the key global developments, risks, and transformations defining 2025. &lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Risto Marjomaa is a historian specializing in global history, conflicts, colonial legacies, and the roots of contemporary crises in Africa and the Middle East. His recent work includes analyses of Russia\\u2019s war of aggression in Ukraine, modern racism, and the long-term impacts of historical power structures on current global tensions. This lecture was part of the State of the World 2025 event organized by Global Visions ry, followed by a panel discussion featuring leading voices from futures studies, economics, and political science.

In this episode, we speak with Professor Jamie Morgan from Leeds Beckett University and Professor Heikki Patom\\u00e4ki from the University of Helsinki, two scholars who have collaborated extensively on the idea of a global greenhouse gas tax.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Jamie Morgan is Professor of Economics at Leeds Beckett University, whose work spans political economy, the philosophy of economics, global governance, critical realism, and climate policy. Heikki Patom\\u00e4ki is Professor of World Politics and Global Political Economy at the University of Helsinki. His research covers a broad range of themes including economic theory, global political economy, futures studies, and global justice.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Together we explore the central questions behind implementing a global carbon tax. How should revenues be allocated, and which approaches might be both fair and politically realistic? Could existing policy models offer a foundation for global implementation? What kinds of wider social or economic benefits might follow beyond emissions reductions?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;We also discuss strategies for building public and political support, and consider whether a global carbon tax could ever gain broad international acceptance. Looking forward, Jamie and Heikki reflect on how technological, political, and economic developments might reshape the future of global climate governance.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The conversation continues themes from our recent panel, &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/youtu.be\\\/Uys5wE2yL_Q?si=i9IiaFwsE13XAJaF\\&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Global Carbon Tax: Challenges, Opportunities and Future Visions&lt;\\\/em&gt;&lt;\\\/a&gt;, offering a deeper look at the possibilities and complexities of creating a coordinated global response to climate change.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Global Visions is a non profit association based in Helsinki, Finland, with the purpose of bringing people and organisations together to develop ideas aimed at building a better world.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Follow and learn more:&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Instagram: @globalvisionsry Bluesky: &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/globalvisions.bsky.social\\&quot;&gt;globalvisions.bsky.social&lt;\\\/a&gt; TikTok: @globalvisionsry LinkedIn: Global Visions Watch our events on YouTube: GlobalVisionsry More information: &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.globalvisions.fi\\\/en\\&quot;&gt;www.globalvisions.fi\\\/en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Our music is licensed from Premium Beat.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Global Visions&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;27.11.2025&quot;,&quot;link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/rss.com\\\/podcasts\\\/visionsofabetterworld\\\/2351200&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/content.rss.com\\\/episodes\\\/126315\\\/2351200\\\/visionsofabetterworld\\\/2025_11_27_09_29_36_c37f7d08-1c2b-4d86-96c9-5a4a28b8dec3.mp3&quot;,&quot;mediatype&quot;:&quot;audio&quot;,&quot;season&quot;:3,&quot;categories&quot;:[],&quot;duration&quot;:&quot;01:14:27&quot;,&quot;episodetype&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;source_mime&quot;:&quot;audio\\\/mpeg&quot;,&quot;source_format&quot;:&quot;mp3&quot;,&quot;is_hls&quot;:0,&quot;timestamp&quot;:1764246093,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;8474b8304a162012da7f11238604defc&quot;},&quot;ppe-4984-10&quot;:{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Global Carbon Tax: Challenges, Opportunities and Future Visions&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;As the climate crisis deepens, the need for ambitious and fair global action has never been more urgent. One proposal gaining attention is a global carbon tax \\u2014 a system that would put a price on carbon emissions worldwide, aiming both to cut greenhouse gases and to fund climate solutions. But could such a policy work in practice, and what would it take to implement it on a global scale? On Wednesday 17 September 2025, Global Visions hosted a multidisciplinary panel at Musiikkitalo Terassil\\u00e4mpi\\u00f6, Helsinki, to discuss the feasibility, challenges, and future visions of a global carbon tax. The conversation explored how it differs from other carbon pricing mechanisms, the governance structures and international cooperation it would require, and whether it could also serve as a tool for climate justice by supporting adaptation in Global South countries. &lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Guests:&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Professor Janne Hukkinen is a Professor of Environmental Policy at the University of Helsinki, specializing in the socio-cognitive aspects of sustainability and environmental risk governance.

We ask: What are the most urgent threats facing democratic systems? Could alternative models like deliberative democracy, citizens\\u2019 councils, or epistocracy strengthen participation \\u2014 or do they risk deepening inequality? How can civic education, fact-checking, or informed voting initiatives renew democratic trust? We also consider how emerging technologies like AI could shape decision-making, citizenship, and global governance.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Finally, Anniina and Tuija share their utopian ideas: What would an ideal democracy look like in the years to come? Which principles and structures could help us build a more just, inclusive, and effective democratic system for the future?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Global Visions is a non-profit association based in Helsinki, Finland with the purpose of bringing people and organisations together and developing ideas aimed at building a better world.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Follow and learn more:&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Instagram: @globalvisionsry Bluesky: &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/globalvisions.bsky.social\\&quot;&gt;globalvisions.bsky.social&lt;\\\/a&gt; TikTok: @globalvisionsry LinkedIn: Global Visions See our panels on YouTube: GlobalVisionsry More information: &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.globalvisions.fi\\\/en\\&quot;&gt;www.globalvisions.fi\\\/en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Our music is licensed from Premium Beat.&lt;\\\/p&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Global Visions&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;6.10.2025&quot;,&quot;link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/rss.com\\\/podcasts\\\/visionsofabetterworld\\\/2193326&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/content.rss.com\\\/episodes\\\/126315\\\/2193326\\\/visionsofabetterworld\\\/2025_09_01_09_56_33_edcf1a64-aded-4096-b1de-8a22fb0b615a.mp3&quot;,&quot;mediatype&quot;:&quot;audio&quot;,&quot;season&quot;:3,&quot;categories&quot;:[],&quot;duration&quot;:&quot;53:08&quot;,&quot;episodetype&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;source_mime&quot;:&quot;audio\\\/mpeg&quot;,&quot;source_format&quot;:&quot;mp3&quot;,&quot;is_hls&quot;:0,&quot;timestamp&quot;:1759747264,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;6542d644203c96070ba54d6498f50290&quot;},&quot;ppe-4984-12&quot;:{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;A conversation on Democracy, Human Rights and Education&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;A conversation on Democracy, Human Rights and Education&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;In this episode we sat down with Anniina leivisk\\u00e4 and Tuija Kasa to discuss the current state of Democracy.

Can technology itself be a moral actor\\u2014or is it only ever a tool? And what is the role of capitalism, rationality, and imagination when thinking about systems-level change?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;We close the conversation by asking our guests to share their own morally compelling visions for the future\\u2014what kind of world should we strive for, and how might we begin to get there?&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Global Visions is a non-profit association based in Helsinki, Finland with the purpose of bringing people and organisations together and developing ideas aimed at building a better world.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Follow and learn more:&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Instagram: @globalvisionsry Bluesky: &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/globalvisions.bsky.social\\&quot;&gt;globalvisions.bsky.social&lt;\\\/a&gt; TikTok: @globalvisionsry LinkedIn: Global Visions See our panels on YouTube: GlobalVisionsry More information: &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.globalvisions.fi\\\/en\\&quot;&gt;www.globalvisions.fi\\\/en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt; Our music is licensed from Premium Beat.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Global Visions&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;6.8.2025&quot;,&quot;link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/rss.com\\\/podcasts\\\/visionsofabetterworld\\\/2154179&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/content.rss.com\\\/episodes\\\/126315\\\/2154179\\\/visionsofabetterworld\\\/2025_08_06_12_06_53_ec149f41-8b2a-4dae-873e-99c6234e0f37.mp3&quot;,&quot;mediatype&quot;:&quot;audio&quot;,&quot;season&quot;:3,&quot;categories&quot;:[],&quot;duration&quot;:&quot;01:23:11&quot;,&quot;episodetype&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;source_mime&quot;:&quot;audio\\\/mpeg&quot;,&quot;source_format&quot;:&quot;mp3&quot;,&quot;is_hls&quot;:0,&quot;timestamp&quot;:1754482036,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;19d8690b72e979b5688e562a31f1f84a&quot;},&quot;ppe-4984-14&quot;:{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;A Conversation on Moral Crises and Universal Ethics&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;In this two-part episode, we sit down with two moral philosophers Professor Antti Kauppinen and Dr. Simo Kyll\\u00f6nen from the University of Helsinki to explore the ethical questions behind some of the most urgent issues facing the world today.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u00b7       &lt;strong&gt;Professor Antti Kauppinen&lt;\\\/strong&gt; Antti Kauppinen is a Professor of Practical Philosophy at the University of Helsinki, his research focuses on moral psychology, well-being, and how we make ethical decisions.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;\\u00b7       &lt;strong&gt;Dr. Simo Kyll\\u00f6nen&lt;\\\/strong&gt; is a political philosopher at the University of Helsinki, whose work explores global justice, environmental ethics, and the moral dimensions of systemic change.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;As we reach the halfway point of 2025, the global picture is marked by war, climate crisis, and rapid advances in artificial intelligence. But behind the headlines lie deeper questions: What do we owe each other, across borders and generations? How do we define justice in a global context? And can we still hold on to a sense of shared morality in a fractured world? In part one, we reflect on moral responsibility, empathy, and the ethics of conflict. In part two, we turn to climate change, technology, and visions for the future.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Global Visions is a non-profit association based in Helsinki, Finland with the purpose of bringing people and organisations together and developing ideas aimed at building a better world.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Follow and learn more:&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Instagram: globalvisionsry&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Bluesky: &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/globalvisions.bsky.social\\&quot;&gt;globalvisions.bsky.social&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;TikTok: globalvisionsry&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Linkedin: Global Visions&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;See our panels on YouTube: GlobalVisionsry&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;More information: &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;http:\\\/\\\/www.globalvisions.fi\\\/en\\&quot;&gt;www.globalvisions.fi\\\/en&lt;\\\/a&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The episodes hosts: Astrid Aminoff and Max Tallberg&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Our music is licensed from Premium Beat.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&quot;,&quot;author&quot;:&quot;Global Visions&quot;,&quot;date&quot;:&quot;26.6.2025&quot;,&quot;link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/rss.com\\\/podcasts\\\/visionsofabetterworld\\\/2085348&quot;,&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/content.rss.com\\\/episodes\\\/126315\\\/2085348\\\/visionsofabetterworld\\\/2025_06_23_12_22_37_6a431889-f02b-4d4d-8320-a35b943a2598.mp3&quot;,&quot;mediatype&quot;:&quot;audio&quot;,&quot;season&quot;:3,&quot;categories&quot;:[],&quot;duration&quot;:&quot;01:22:18&quot;,&quot;episodetype&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;source_mime&quot;:&quot;audio\\\/mpeg&quot;,&quot;source_format&quot;:&quot;mp3&quot;,&quot;is_hls&quot;:0,&quot;timestamp&quot;:1750919369,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;04fadbcd20579b9ead4b3b16855d8642&quot;},&quot;ppe-4984-15&quot;:{&quot;title&quot;:&quot;Confronting Climate Change: Justice, Solutions and Future Visions a Panel Discussion&quot;,&quot;description&quot;:&quot;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Confronting Climate Change: Justice, Solutions and Future Visions. A panel discussion organised by Global Visions ry. &lt;\\\/strong&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;On May 7th, 2025, we gathered at &lt;a target=\\&quot;_blank\\&quot; rel=\\&quot;noopener noreferrer nofollow\\&quot; href=\\&quot;https:\\\/\\\/musiikkitalo.fi\\&quot;&gt;Musiikkitalo&lt;\\\/a&gt; in Helsinki to confront the urgent questions posed by the climate crisis and to explore pathways toward justice, sustainability, and transformative futures. As the impacts of climate change continue to intensify, so too does the need for solutions that are equitable, inclusive, and forward-looking. Climate change is not only an environmental issue\\u2014it is a question of justice, of systems and structures, and of the futures we choose to create. What does a sustainable and just future truly look like? How can climate policy better reflect the needs and perspectives of the Global South? What forms of economic transformation are necessary to ensure a livable planet? This public panel discussion brought together experts from diverse fields to explore the intersections of climate justice, sustainability, and future-oriented thinking. &lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;The conversation examined the responsibilities of individuals, institutions, and global actors in addressing the climate crisis\\u2014and the radical changes required to build an equitable world. The event was free of charge and held in English. All those interested in engaging with climate justice and transformative change were warmly welcomed. &lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Guests Associate Professor Senja Laakso (University of Helsinki) Senja Laakso is Associate Professor of Consumption Culture as Social Practices at the Centre for Consumer Society Research, University of Helsinki.

Patom\\u00e4ki and Teivainen co-authored a book on this theme 20 years ago, titled &lt;em&gt;A Possible World: Democratic Transformation of Global Institutions&lt;\\\/em&gt; (2004). Patom\\u00e4ki has continued exploring this theme more recently in his book &lt;em&gt;World Statehood: The Future of World Politics&lt;\\\/em&gt; (2023). Teivainen has examined the power of social movements in &lt;em&gt;Challenging Authoritarian Capitalism: The Transformative Power of the World Social Forum.&lt;\\\/em&gt;&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;We trace the historical roots of global governance, from cosmopolitan thinkers to post\\u2013World War II intellectuals who explored and advocated for the idea of a World State. Patom\\u00e4ki shares his vision for overcoming the limitations of fragmented institutions like the UN and WTO, emphasizing that reimagining global cooperation is vital to addressing existential threats such as climate change, inequality, and geopolitical conflict.&lt;\\\/p&gt;\\n&lt;p&gt;Professor Teivo Teivainen: A Professor of World Politics at the University of Helsinki.

In the first episode, the guests discuss the weaponization of economic interdependence, the limits of monetary hegemony, and why the absence of adequate global monetary institutions may itself be generating conflict. In the second episode, the focus shifts to solutions and the idea of a Global Clearing Union: an international institution that would facilitate trade and financial exchanges through a shared accounting system, helping to reduce global imbalances while encouraging cooperation between both debtor and surplus countries. Inspired by John Maynard Keynes\u2019s original proposal, the discussion considers whether such reforms could contribute to a more stable, democratic, and equitable global order, and what they could mean for the future of humanity and global cooperation.<\/p><p><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/patomaki.fi\/en\/\"><strong>Heikki Patom\u00e4ki<\/strong><\/a> is Professor of World Politics and Global Political Economy at the University of Helsinki and one of Finland\u2019s leading scholars of global political economy, democracy, and global governance.
