BECA and the 5G-weather clash

BY

The Basic Exchange and Cooperation Agreement for Geospatial Cooperation (BECA), the last of the India-U.S. foundational agreements, will enable India to avail of U.S. expertise on geospatial intelligence and to sharpen the accuracy of weapons and automated hardware systems used for military purposes.

Indo-Pacific, the contested theatre

BY

China’s rise and increased activism in South Asia and the Indian Ocean region is an uncontested reality even as Asian countries worry about the new cold war in which the U.S. and China are locked.

The Stealth Superpower

BY Oriana Skylar Mastro

Although China does not want to usurp the United States’ position as the leader of a global order, its actual aim is nearly as consequential.
