Project Europe: Survival means setting aside talk of populism

BY and

Europe needs to set aside talk of populism because it becomes an obstacle in evaluating what's at stake. In a conversation with Dr Huricihan Islamoglu of Bogazici University, she notes that Europe's competitiveness requires states fashioned or refashioned as sovereign economic actors. A big problem these states will face is unemployment, with technological transformation displacing jobs, alongside a loss of a global prime market for goods and destination status.

BY

The sustainability of the Mecca Accord is determined by its response to three geopolitical challenges represented by India, Iran, and Israel. The India test centres on preventing the export of South Asian conflicts to the Gulf, the Iranian test rests on institutionalising sustainable deterrence beyond formulas of perpetual clash, and the Israeli axis tests the mechanisms for reshaping Saudi ties with American security and the future of regional normalisation.

China’s emergence in the global order

BY

There is much discussion these days on the world order and the continuation or demise of the current format. To understand why this powerful agglomeration of states and rules is now being questioned, it is necessary to understand the role of China, its co-option of the institutions and rules of the world order, and the parallel order it is creating centred around itself.

Israel-Palestine: two states … or one?

BY

The Oslo Accords’ two-state solution for Palestine-Israel, visualised Gaza and the West Bank as self-governing entities under the Palestinian Authority. That political hope existed in an expanding global economy led by the U.S. and secured by American armies, with the promise of capital flows and investments to develop Palestine on its way to statehood. All this changed in the 2000s, as both Israelis and Palestinians became significant regional actors.

India’s blue economy and the Indo-Pacific’s future

BY

The Indo-Pacific region envisages the Indian and Pacific Oceans as a continuum and stands on two central pillars – maritime security and economic development. The public discussions, however, are focused on maritime security, strategy and geopolitics, while economic development has received less attention. This imbalance can be corrected by creating an awareness on how to harness the potential of the region's Blue Economy and its vast resources and opportunities.
