Abstract
The principal aim of this article is to analyse how cultural relations between India and Poland have transformed into cultural diplomacy. For this purpose, the article traces the historical interactions of culture between the two countries that precede their creation as modern-day republics. The article analyses the various stages through which cultural engagement between India and Poland have progressed. The author presents culture as a binding factor as it is paving the way for deeper engagements between the two sides. Cultural diplomacy between India and Poland is opening new avenues of interactions which are reflected in their political and economic relationship. The article argues that the absence of a strategic partnership puts impetus on cultural diplomacy as it becomes an important foundational block on which a future relationship can be build.

Abstract This article presents a history of the concept of the right to the city. The reconstruction of the concept's genesis and development draws on the relation between the history of ideas and the history of social struggles in order to show that the variety of meanings attributed to the right to the city today is decisive to its social and theoretical relevance.

Contemporary American politics is marked by an unusually substantial generation gap. This has important implications for the future of American politics as an overwhelmingly white and conservative generation, the Silent Generation, is being replaced in the electorate by much more diverse and liberal generations: the Millennial Generation and Generation Z. To project potential partisan changes in the American electorate with generational replacement, simulations were calculated estimating what the electorate may look like, using the 2016 presidential election as a baseline. Hypothesizing the same generational dynamics of vote choice and turnout for 2020 that existed in 2016, with generational replacement alone the national plurality of 2.1 percent for the Democratic candidate increases to 4.8 percent if Generation Z votes the same as Millennials. For elections beyond 2020, the potential partisan swing toward the Democrats based on generational replacement become even much more considerable. By 2032, Millennials and Generation Z combined are projected to consist of almost one‐half of the entire electorate. Even if Generation Z is not distinct from the rest of the electorate politically, given how strongly Democratic the Millennials are, the simulated gain for the Democrats in 2032 is 5 percent; and, if Generation Z becomes as Democratic leaning as Millennials are, the simulated swing toward the Democrats is greater than 7 percent.Related ArticlesCormack, Lindsey. 2019.

Per questo numero di Formazione & Insegnamento è stato scelto di approfondire i temi Identità, Generatività e Trasformazioni Sociali, perché essi corrispondono ad altrettanti campi in cui l'educativo e il sociale sono sollecitati a costruire società solidali, innovative e sicure (Horizon, 2020). I contributi degli Autori presenti in questo numero hanno colto da varie prospettive le sfide sottese. Le società democratiche contemporanee sono minacciate non tanto (e non solo) da fenomeni eclatanti ed eccezionali, quanto dalla coscienza ordinaria e convenzionale, che si piega a una comprensione meccanica degli eventi e soffoca l'autenticità dell'interazione democratica. Per affrontare negli spazi educativi tali prospettive serve instillare abitudini di consapevolezza critica che consentano di far emergere riflessioni focali sulla natura dell'identità che vogliamo auto-costituire, non semplice espressione del pensiero uniforme.

The agriculture sector has been critically important in reducing poverty in Bangladesh, and further progress in agriculture will remain important as Bangladesh's economy continues to evolve. Declining agricultural productivity growth poses substantial risk to the development of the rural economy. There are substantial market opportunities for productive diversification and increased value addition for the agri-food sector in Bangladesh. The agri-food ecosystem analysis carried out for this study identifies critical constraints to the diversification and modernization of the agri-food sector. The Covid-19 (Coronavirus) crisis has hit Bangladesh's economy and its agri-food sector hard and lasting impacts can be expected on the sector. The overall aim of this report is to identify policy and public investment opportunities for increasing agricultural diversification and creating an enabling business environment for private sector investment along the agri-food supply chain using the maximizing finance for development (MFD) framework. The report is intended to provide guidance to the Government of Bangladesh (GoB) to implement and operationalize the strategic priorities of agricultural diversification and commercialization, as outlined in national agricultural policy 2018, to improve farms' incomes, create rural jobs, and attain nutrition security in the country. The report is also intended to inform the World Bank's strategies and dialogue for agriculture and rural development in Bangladesh and sharpen priorities for future engagement on agri-food sector modernization initiatives.
