The Second High-Level United Nations (UN) Conference on South-South Cooperation (also known as BAPA+40), held in Buenos Aires, Argentina, from 20 to 22 March 2019, promised to reinvigorate efforts to further achieve and implement South-South cooperation (SSC). Forty years on, the Global South is shaping its image as a solutions provider. Immense strides have been made in improving access to allow a multitude of state and non-state actors to cooperate, while broadening and deepening modes of cooperation and facilitating the exchange of knowledge and transfer of technology, thus moving beyond the simplistic view that developing countries require aid to function and move forward. However, noting these symbolic strides, the Global South should move forward by building understanding of monitoring and evaluation (M&E) frameworks; integrating multi-stakeholder models; improving the visibility of peace and security in South-South programming; and building effective communications systems.

Cultural Networks

This article explores cultural dialogues between countries located in the (so-called) global South, focusing on India and Argentina through the nexus between the Bengali author, artist, and educationalist Rabindranath Tagore (1861–1941) and the Argentine writer, publisher, and feminist Victoria Ocampo (1890–1979). The article examines the dialectical tensions that arose out of their encounter in Buenos Aires in 1924 which, while forging productive cultural networks through the globalist paradigms proposed by Ocampo's modernist review SUR and Tagore's Bengal-inflected notion of visva-sahitya – as well as the latter's significant contribution to the Argentine cultural scene – it also brought to the fore the geopolitics of empire by foregrounding India's and Argentina's fraught colonial relations with imperial Britain. 1

The Institute for Global Dialogue, in partnership with Friedrich Ebert Stiftung (FES) hosted a seminar at the Burgers Park Hotel in Pretoria on July 3, 2018, on the theme “Argentina’s G20 Presidency: Implications for the Africa–G20 Partnership.” The seminar sought to situate Argentina’s G20 presidency in the context of Latin America, and specifically its relations with the African continent. How will Argentina’s presidency frame Latin American–African relations in the context of the G20 partnership with Africa? How can African stakeholders utilise Argentinian priorities to achieve their own development priorities? Will Argentina position itself as a key actor in bringing a cohesive Latin American perspective to the G20? In light of Buenos Aires’ significance for South-South cooperation, what opportunities exist for advancing the interests of the Global South?

New Ideas

This chapter contrasts the status of metropolises in “old world” constitutional orders with their status in “new world” constitutional orders. It focuses largely on the Global South—where new ideas about the constitutional governance of the metropolis are more likely to emerge. From Asia to Latin America and parts of Africa, innovative, sometimes radical, constitutional measures have been introduced, some with more success than others, to address the metropolis issue. The chapter explores several examples of countries in Asia (Japan, South Korea, and China) in which central governments’ constitutional support of megacities reflects astute, long-term planning for regional or national economic growth. It further shows how South Africa’s constitutionalization of city power as part of its 1996 constitutional transformation is arguably the most effective of these attempts to date. In other Global South settings—notably India and Brazil—constitutional experimentation with city emancipation has succumbed to deeply engrained intergovernmental hierarchies. And in yet other settings strategic behavior and colliding incentive structures have driven attempts to either strengthen (e.g., Mexico City, Buenos Aires) or weaken (e.g., Nairobi) megacities.

A partir de los relatos de experiencias de empleadas y empleadoras del servicio doméstico en Buenos Aires, este artículo analiza el universo de acuerdos y conflictos que se producen cuando se ponen en juego la organización de las tareas de limpieza y de cuidado de niños dentro del hogar de las segundas. La dimensión espacio-temporal, los diferentes significados y los límites morales configuran dimensiones relevantes para comprender las lógicas culturales inscriptas en las relaciones cotidianas. El texto se centra en la forma que adquiere la gestión del trabajo analizando la dinámica de conflictos y arreglos que surgen entre ambas en torno a las `maneras de hacer´ (De Certeau, 1996)  el trabajo doméstico así como respecto a la administración del tiempo y de los espacios compartidos. De allí se interesa por mostrar cómo, desde la interacción y convivencia cotidianas, ambos agentes construyen, intercambian y remodelan saberes domésticos en un ambiente donde la complicidad, la ambivalencia y el antagonismo se ensamblan constantemente.Palabras clave: Empleadas domésticas.

The City

This study of La Salada, renamed by Cuartel’s residents as the “poor people’s shopping mall,” was founded in the early 1990’s at the height of neoliberalism by several dozen undocumented Bolivian immigrants and Argentine street hawkers in a pauperized, stigmatized and disenfranchised district near the city of Buenos Aires. By the early 2000’s, La Salada occupied a central place in public life in Cuartel and beyond; the European Union described it as “emblematic of counterfeit markets,” among the ten worst of its kind. In studying this market and the network of satellite ‘Saladitas’ that have proliferated in hundreds of neighborhoods across the country, my aim is to analyze the way the structural poor and recently impoverished middle class transformed themselves into citizens and have contributed to the emergence of a new form of life: plebeian democracy. In dialogue with Partha Chatterjee's work on 'governmentalized populations' in the global south, my discussion highlights some of the particular and distinctive features of plebeianism in contemporary Buenos Aires and its implications for the future of democratic life across the global south.

Conti: One of the main conclusions of the Wolf-Rayet symposium in Buenos Aires was that Wolf-Rayet stars are evolutionary products of massive objects. Some questions:–Do hot helium-rich stars, that are not Wolf-Rayet stars, exist?–What about the stability of helium rich stars of large mass? We know a helium rich star of ∼40 MO. Has the stability something to do with the wind?–Ring nebulae and bubbles : this seems to be a much more common phenomenon than we thought of some years age.–What is the origin of the subtypes? This is important to find a possible matching of scenarios to subtypes.
