These three podcasts explore how technologies redefine power, governance and the solutions to crises in the 21st century. The PodCasts deal with algorithmic governance of borders and mobility, crisis-driven energy transitions, and the rise of digital war technonologies in the MENA region. Together, they reveal how technology, instability, and policy gaps are giving rise to new systems of control, provision, and influence—often beyond the reach of traditional regulation.
