French investors are warming to Hong Kong again, the city’s finance chief has said, citing a “marked difference” in local perceptions compared with his last visit to Paris two years ago. The shift is driven by Hong Kong’s strong market performance and an improved geopolitical sit…

Japan’s planned deployment of long-range surveillance drones on remote Pacific islands would mark a significant expansion of its ability to monitor Chinese naval activity, as Beijing’s warships operate more frequently beyond the first island chain. The drones are to be stationed …

The end of the Cold War was supposed to deliver a long peace. For a while, that was working, until it wasn’t. We might now be entering another period when the breakdown of a world order leads to war. It was no accident that President Xi Jinping cited the “Thucydides Trap” during …

US President Donald Trump tightened his grip on the Republican Party on Tuesday as Kentucky voters ousted one of the few conservative lawmakers willing to challenge him openly. Congressman Thomas Massie’s defeat, which he conceded some three hours after polls closed, marked anoth…

Brussels is discovering that cutting red tape may be harder without actual experts in the room. As the EU races ahead with its deregulation drive, concerns are growing over rushed lawmaking, weaker safeguards and the sidelining of technical specialists. Then, EU leaders are explo…

Each wet season, Northern Australia and the wider Oceania region are reminded that climate stress is no longer episodic. Cyclones, floods, extreme heat, infrastructure failure and displacement arrive with uncomfortable frequency. And they are becoming ...

Alliances remain Washington's single greatest strategic advantage over China and Russia, but the old transatlantic bargain of U.S. protection for European loyalty is no longer politically sustainable. A more autonomous Europe within a rebalanced alliance is the better future for …

The liberal international order is not collapsing in a single dramatic moment but fragmenting, as middle powers build exclusive coalitions with their own norms and rules. If Washington does not rebuild trust with the middle-power countries that once anchored U.S. leadership, its …

The AI race is currently a contest between the United States and China in which private labs increasingly rival nation-states in power and reach. To maintain the United States’ lead, policymakers must build strong relationships with the labs and a regulatory environment that supp…

Wars in Ukraine and Iran have exposed both the depleted state of U.S. munitions stockpiles and the urgent need to integrate cheap, AI-enabled capabilities alongside legacy platforms. A grand strategy worthy of the name starts with a more resilient and innovative defense industria…

The June 2025 U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran's nuclear program ended the era of diplomatic counterproliferation, replacing it with recurring military action that may delay—but not eliminate—Iran’s nuclear ambitions. The Iranian regime could emerge more determined to pursue concealed…

The old international order is dying as power shifts from West to East and the digital age dismantles the industrial-era social contract that anchored U.S. democracy. American grand strategy must therefore do two things at once: shape a pluralistic, multipolar order abroad and re…

Americans are tired of the burdens of global leadership, but downsizing the postwar order does not change the laundry list of problems the United States still has to manage day in and day out. The order Washington built produced unprecedented great-power peace and shared prosperi…

Trump has so thoroughly upended long-established principles of U.S. foreign policy that his successor will have no choice but to conduct a fundamental, zero-based review of U.S. goals and the means to achieve them. Experts should start that work now, distinguishing the "need to d…

History shows that U.S. strategy oscillates between activism and retrenchment, and the decade ahead will likely feature efforts to make foreign policy less ideological, less global, less bloody, and less unilateral. But every period of downsizing eventually triggers a backlash wh…

AI capabilities are doubling every four months, and the resulting disruptions to jobs, civil liberties, and national security will make AI the central issue of the 2028 election. Effective policy must regulate domestic safety, share the economic gains broadly, and maximize the U.…

The Middle East's center of gravity has shifted to the Gulf, and the U.S.-Israeli war against Iran may well accelerate that trend. As Americans debate whether the United States' core regional interests are still worth defending, Washington is likely to reduce its posture in the M…

Economic warfare has gone global, and the post-1990s economic order, built for an age of efficiency rather than rivalry, is fragmenting. Three futures are possible: managed globalization, competing blocs, or pure transactionalism.

Trump turned tariffs from a response to the China shock into a durable, more sweeping tool of U.S. economic statecraft. Even as courts challenge his methods, future presidents are unlikely to surrender the executive’s expanded trade powers. The result will be a more volatile, bil…

China now has greater scale than the United States across nearly every dimension of great-power competition, leaving Washington unable to balance Beijing on its own. The only viable path is to build "allied scale" by transforming bilateral alliances into a platform for pooled eco…

Researchers also question whether UK’s impartiality rules allow for proper scrutiny in era of multiparty politics Broadcasters are letting down voters by relying on so-called vox pop interviews and failing to scrutinise political claims during election campaigns, according to res…

Economic power is no longer about writing rules in global institutions; it is about weaponizing interdependence. China's response to Trump's tariffs, wielding its dominance of critical mineral supply chains, has set a precedent more important than the tariffs themselves. The Unit…

Partisanship and the collapse of the foreign policy establishment are making U.S. national security policy less durable, with presidents acting alone and consensus increasingly out of reach. The likely result is short-lived policies, weak alliances, and a strategic disadvantage a…
