The Chinese resort to the Kickstarter approach not only for philanthropy but basic social services.

Tensions in the Pacific are not surprising, but the lack of meaningful mitigation (kind-of) is.

You may not have thought it possible, but inequality in Latin America has only gotten worse.

Can activists save what's left of Nizhny Novgorod?

Can Europe's royals survive the continent's severe recession?
