🆕 READ: As Global South leaders converge in Beijing, IPD Advisor JOCELYN COULON in Le Devoir writes (in French) that "#China is well established in Africa and has nothing to fear from the other major powers on the continent. In Asia, where the future of the world is at stake, China is gaining ground at the expense of the United States and the Western bloc." 👉 https://lnkd.in/gr9N7aZX #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics #diplomacy #globalsouth #asiapacific

🆕 READ: For The National Interest, Young Washington Fellow Dominick Sansone writes that given worsening battlefield conditions, "the only factor that would truly change the war prospects for Ukraine is an escalation of the current conflict, defined by greater Western involvement." 👉 https://lnkd.in/gH5YvQSR #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics

💡 ICYMI: Senior Washington Fellow Jeffrey Reeves observes that "continuity between regimes is also uncertain across key U.S. allies in Asia, where leadership priorities can vary widely between administrations. This trend is likely to accelerate as Asia becomes wealthier, more economically integrated, and more fragmented from other regions, making it less responsive to U.S. strategic priorities than it is today." 👉 Read: https://lnkd.in/gSFxY5EU #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics #diplomacy #asiapacific #indopacific

💡 ICYMI: Senior Washington Fellow Jeffrey Reeves writes that "future U.S. administrations will find it more difficult to persuade allies and partners to adopt U.S. strategic priorities or, more critically, to convince non-aligned states to follow its leadership when doing so is inimical to their national interests." 👉 https://lnkd.in/gSFxY5EU #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics #asiapacific #indopacific #grandstrategy #diplomacy

Thanks to Bijan Ahmadi and Arta Moeini, Ph.D. and the Institute for Peace & Diplomacy for publishing my article on a potential 'mini-deal' approach to US diplomacy in the Asia-Pacific. I've tried to set out the agenda in this short piece, but I'm well aware more research and work is necessary to flesh out these ideas. I look forward to publishing more with IPD on US strategy in Asia and elsewhere. https://lnkd.in/gWj9cdc8 #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics #asiapacific #indopacific #diplomacy #grandstrategy

💡 READ: Commenting on Canadian tariffs in this week's special edition of the Canada-China Brief, Carlo Dade of the Canada West Foundation says "the Americans essentially told/asked Canada to jump with them. We did. But then on the way down we look over and notice that the Americans have a parachute but we do not." 👉 Read and subscribe on Substack: https://lnkd.in/gt-SqsZA #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics #internationaltrade #tariffs #wto #tradelaw #tariffs #economics #cdnfp #cdnpoli #china

🆕 READ: Senior Washington Fellow Jeffrey Reeves writes that "rather than privileging engagement with 'like-minded' states, the next U.S. administration should instead build an intra-regional, network-based foundation for continued U.S. presence in the Asia-Pacific—one based on shared interests, ties, and relationships, not just formal treaty alliances." 👉 https://lnkd.in/gSFxY5EU #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics #asiapacific #indopacific #diplomacy #grandstrategy

💡 READ: Commenting on Canadian tariffs in this week's special edition of the Canada-China Brief, Mark Kruger writes that "what the government could do is set an explicit sunset for the surcharges and argue that they were necessary to protect the 'infant' electric vehicle industry in #Canada. Casting the surcharges as temporary may not completely mollify the Chinese but it is, nevertheless, a reasonable first step in depoliticizing the trading relationship." 👉 Read and subscribe to Substack for the full edition: https://lnkd.in/gt-SqsZA #internationalrelations #internationalaffairs #foreignpolicy #foreignaffairs #geopolitics #internationaltrade #tariffs #wto #tradelaw #tariffs #economics #cdnfp #cdnpoli #china
