What they don’t teach you about how modern liberalism is shaped by corporate and media influence.Modern liberalism, particularly in the United States and other Western democracies, is significantly shaped by corporate and media influence, despite its philosophical emphasis on individual liberty and democratic processes.

What they don’t teach you about NATO’s hidden role in provoking Cold War flashpoints.NATO's role in the Cold War is typically framed as a purely defensive one, a bulwark against Soviet expansionism. This narrative, while true in part, often overlooks a more complex and controversial aspect of the alliance: its proactive role in escalating certain Cold War flashpoints. By adopting aggressive doctrines, expanding its membership, and engaging in nuclear...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 9 Vue 0 Aperçu

Why are American elites more aligned with venture capital and Silicon Valley startups, while Chinese elites favor state-backed giants?American elites are aligned with venture capital and startups because their political economy is built on a decentralized, private-sector-led model that prioritizes competition and innovation. Chinese elites favor state-backed giants because their system is a centralized, top-down model that prioritizes national security, social stability, and global technological dominance. The American...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 13 Vue 0 Aperçu

Is Europe’s fragmented defense industry holding back its ability to match U.S. and Chinese advances?Europe’s fragmented defense industry is a primary reason it is struggling to match the pace of U.S. and Chinese military advances. The lack of a single, integrated European defense market leads to costly duplication, a failure to achieve economies of scale, and an inability to convert significant military spending into a unified technological advantage. The Problem of...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 21 Vue 0 Aperçu

How do U.S. policymakers balance economic interdependence with security fears in shaping future China policy?U.S. policymakers balance economic interdependence with security fears in shaping future China policy by shifting from a strategy of engagement to one of strategic competition. This new approach recognizes that while a full "decoupling" is economically unfeasible, certain dependencies on China, particularly in critical technologies and supply chains, pose significant national security risks....0 Commentaires 0 Parts 45 Vue 0 Aperçu

Could China’s partnerships in Latin America and the Caribbean indirectly weaken U.S. influence in its own hemisphere?China’s partnerships in Latin America and the Caribbean can indirectly weaken U.S. influence in its own hemisphere. China is doing this by challenging the U.S. as the region's dominant economic partner, offering an alternative model of engagement, and expanding its political and military presence in a way that undermines U.S. security interests. Economic Displacement...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 49 Vue 0 Aperçu

What an African Warlord Can Teach Donald Trump About Skilled ImmigrationDonald Trump is not the first world leader trying to replace a skilled minority group with a politically favored majority. He will not be the first to fail. Shortly after the British Empire’s conquest of Uganda in the 1890s, the territory’s colonial administrators imported roughly 30,000 laborers from India in order to build a railway spanning the region. Though most of these...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 188 Vue 0 Aperçu

Should the West Legitimize the “New Syria”?Ahmed al-Shara’s UN speech last week presented an idealized Syria far removed from the perilous reality. “The president is here,” a coordinator announced, rushing to the entrance of a lavish private club in midtown Manhattan, where an impatient crowd, restless after waiting more than an hour, buzzed with anticipation for Syria’s new interim leader. Outside, the streets...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 203 Vue 0 Aperçu

Why the US and India Need a New Vocabulary of PartnershipWashington and New Delhi will only get along when both accept permanent ambiguity as a feature, not a bug, of the partnership. It has become a familiar refrain in recent strategic commentary that India risks squandering its moment by refusing to commit to the West. In this framing, articulated persuasively in a recent essay for Foreign Affairs by Dr. Ashley Tellis, India is...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 199 Vue 0 Aperçu

A New, Transactional Era in US-India RelationsPresident Trump’s volte-face on India will not be reversed anytime soon, but that does not mean cooperation over matters of shared interest is a dead letter. President Donald Trump has ushered in a new era in US-India relations.

Israel’s Strike on Qatar Is a Disaster for US Gulf InfluenceFor decades, America’s role in the Gulf rested as much on trust as on power—the belief that hosting US forces guaranteed protection of sovereignty. That belief has now been shaken. Israel’s strike on Hamas leaders in Doha came as a strategic shock to Hamas, to the United States, and to the Arab world. For Hamas, it may have eliminated senior figures who had taken...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 173 Vue 0 Aperçu

They feel isolated, surrounded by a sea of cars, each person in their own world. The podcast's message hits a little toIt was the same every Tuesday. The slow, rhythmic crawl of the morning commute. Sarah drummed her fingers on the steering wheel, a habit she'd picked up to match the pace of the blinking turn signals ahead of her. She was listening to a podcast, "The Urban Echo," which was, ironically, all about loneliness in big cities. The host's voice, a smooth baritone, spoke of "individualized bubbles" and...0 Commentaires 0 Parts 195 Vue 0 Aperçu
