Singapore, reluctant US-China go-between, yet useful to both
Singapore, reluctant US-China go-between, yet useful to both
Ever since my first meeting with Lee Kuan Yew a quarter of a century ago, Singapore has remained in my mind as a special place. By the time of the founding prime minister's passing at age 91 in 2015, that assessment was going global; even in Hong Kong circles, where desultory governance and economic factors, especially housing, seemed to inspire spasms of exodus, Singapore se...

What are book bans really about? Fear
What are book bans really about? Fear
More years ago than I really care to count, the children's librarian in my little town in rural northwestern Connecticut, apparently tired of my endlessly renewing the same book over and over again, pressed a copy of “The White Mountains” by John Christopher into my eight-year-old hands.

End 'imperial' presidency
End 'imperial' presidency
President-elect Yoon Suk-yeol has been promising to end the country's “imperial” presidency since he launched his presidential candidacy last year. After winning the March 9 election, he reaffirmed his pledge by announcing a plan to relocate the presidential office from Cheong Wa Dae to a new site in Yongsan, central Seoul.

What NATO's northern expansion means
What NATO's northern expansion means
While the likely outcome of Vladimir Putin's war against Ukraine remains unclear, Russia's aggression has already changed the European security order in important ways. The only modern European historical comparison is Hitler's invasion of Poland in September 1939. Both cases involved large-scale unprovoked attacks on a neighboring country with the aim of eliminating it. Hitl...

False promise of democratic peace
False promise of democratic peace
Through persuasion, exhortation, legal processes, economic pressure, and sometimes military force, American foreign policy asserts the United States' view about how the world should be run. Only two countries in recent history have had such world-transforming ambitions: Britain and the U.S. In the last 150 years, these are the only two countries whose power - hard and soft, f...

Putin has a chance to conquer France
Putin has a chance to conquer France
I'm guessing that the French presidential election isn't high on your current list of interests. If not, I suggest you take a long look at the photos that feature Vladimir Putin communing with one of his favorite goons, far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen.

Security in post-American Middle East
Security in post-American Middle East

While the United States will continue to shape regional security, not least through its advanced weapons systems, its (perceived) retreat from the Middle East has raised serious doubts about its willingness to fulfill its commitments to its allies.

Push for new antitrust rules infested with cronyism?
Push for new antitrust rules infested with cronyism?
An unlikely coalition of senators is backing Minnesota Democrat Amy Klobuchar's bill to drastically overhaul the nation's antitrust laws. They may want to give her proposal another read, because there are things about it that might not be what they seem.

Discouraging deterrence
Discouraging deterrence
Among the torrent of comments over the war in Ukraine is the view that if Ukraine had retained some degree of nuclear weapons capability instead of giving it all up in 1994, it would have had an effective deterrent to prevent Russia's involvement in the Donbas, its annexation of Crimea and its recent invasion of the country.
