Live from Berlin, Sonia and John explore the notions of Global North and Global South. What do these terms actually mean? They clearly aren’t limited to geography.

For many think tanks and knowledge institutions in the North, the need to collaborate with organizations in the South is becoming an imperative. But we need new words and ideas to communicate these emerging relationships.

Who better to help us in this quest than Enrique Mendizabal? Quique is the founder and director of On Think Tanks, a global platform that works with organizations around the world to promote better-informed policies. He was born in Peru, lived in London for many years, and is now based in Barcelona.

Quique is, in other words, a global influectual.
