Putin's irony of fate
Putin's irony of fate
When the classic film “The Irony of Fate” plays this New Year's Eve in Russia, a tradition in almost all former USSR republics, I wonder if Putin will stare at the movie title blankly, just for a second. Unlike the romantic happy ending in the film, Putin's irony of fate may be followed by a wry smile. The hospitality and welcome that Putin expected from the Ukrainians have n...

A new era
A new era
Advances in technology have always transformed military doctrine and have influenced developments in the law of armed conflict to constrain how conflict is waged. This can be seen in particular in the rules of the Geneva Conventions which prohibit the use of weapons that cause superfluous injury or unnecessary suffering. 100 days after the Russian invasion of Ukraine, we are ...

Is US going soft on China?
Is US going soft on China?
After almost one-and-a-half years in power, the Joe Biden administration has finally divulged the basic contours of its strategic intent toward China. On May 26, while addressing a session organized by the Asia Society at the campus of George Washington University, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken gave a rather comprehensive insight into the current thinking in the Whit...

Russia's path to premodernity
Russia's path to premodernity
That was in 1829. The “riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma,” as Winston Churchill described Russia more than a century later, is no closer to being solved today. The philosopher John Gray recently wrote that Russian President Vladimir Putin “is the face of a world the contemporary Western mind does not comprehend.

China's Great Wall of public-health distrust
China's Great Wall of public-health distrust
China's urban populations have been enduring some of the most intense infection-prevention measures of the COVID-19 pandemic. For 60 straight days, Shanghai's 27 million residents were forced into a strict lockdown - and they were not alone. During the peak of the Omicron BA.2 wave in April and May, 45 cities with a total of 373 million people were under some sort of lockdown...

Korea-India strategic partnership: toward a new dynamic
Korea-India strategic partnership: toward a new dynamic
Nowhere in any region of the world are there as complex a maze of conflict-prone situations, policies and initiatives that intersect at cross purposes as they appear in the South China Sea, the Korean Peninsula, the Indian Ocean and their allies' relationships with its neighbors and extended neighborhood.

How to sell climate action to Africa
How to sell climate action to Africa
There is a well-known story about two footwear salesmen who traveled to Africa in the early 20th century to look for new markets. Within days of arriving, the first salesman concluded that there was no potential for shoe sales because everyone was barefoot. His colleague, by contrast, saw a huge untapped market to explore.

Eight lessons from Ukraine war
Eight lessons from Ukraine war
When Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered his invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24, he envisaged a quick seizure of Kyiv and a change of government analogous to Soviet interventions in Budapest in 1956 and Prague in 1968. But it wasn't to be. The war is still raging, and no one knows when or how it will end.

Facebook needs makeover
Facebook needs makeover
Meta Platforms, until October 2021 known as Facebook, is in turmoil. Infamous for its commitment to employing H-1B workers, and simultaneously undermining qualified U.S. tech workers' careers, the Silicon Valley titan is finally getting its just rewards.

China's anxieties over Korea joining Indo-Pacific framework
China's anxieties over Korea joining Indo-Pacific framework
President Yoon Suk-yeol initiated his first foreign policy maneuver by announcing that Korea will join the Indo-Pacific Economic Forum (IPEF). His announcement came about a week after he took office on May 10 and much earlier than when the IPEF was officially launched on May 23. The Korean public was in awe, fearing possible retaliatory action by China.
