Why Europe's flux could be a harbinger of change
December is traditionally a quiet month in international diplomacy, yet a lot is changing in Europe at the moment, politically and economically, as will be showcased at the EU summit of 27 presidents and prime ministers on Thursday and Friday.
2021-12-15 17:15
Democracy is in retreat across world
The collapse of the Soviet Union was widely predicted to herald a new generation of democratic enlargement across the world. Yet, three decades on, there are growing signs of much of the world moving toward authoritarian or non-democratic political models.
2021-12-01 17:00
Biden, Xi mark out their turf
Expectations had been set low for this week's first presidential summit between Joe Biden and Xi Jinping. Yet, they spoke for an unexpectedly long three and a half hours, with the Chinese leader greeting his U.S. counterpart as his “old friend.”
2021-11-18 16:43
Will COP complicate China's soft power problem?
China has enjoyed in recent years a reputation as a state which is deeply committed to the climate change agenda, yet it has received significant criticism for the failure of President Xi Jinping to show up at the 26th Conference of Parties (COP 26) summit last week.
2021-11-09 16:51
Why Europe's leadership is at pivot point
While much on the agenda in Brussels for the end-of-week summit of Europe's 27 prime ministers and presidents is familiar, there is a historic power shift underway in the club of continental leaders that could bring about significant changes in 2022.
2021-10-27 16:25
World will not wait for German coalition
With Germany's 2022 presidency of the G7 beginning in January, the three political parties negotiating a new coalition in Berlin will begin formal talks - sooner than expected - to try to take up the reins of power before year end.
2021-10-21 16:37
Why October will see a super-surge of climate action
The climate change agenda has had a lower profile for much of the pandemic. However, October will now see a global diplomatic super-surge, given that success at the Conference of the Parties (COP) 26 summit in Glasgow remains in the balance.
2021-10-06 16:57
Why German election results matter to world
Germany's election on Sunday has indicated a desire for change in Europe's most powerful country with polls suggesting the center-left Social Democrats (SPD) won the most seats, and Angela Merkel's Christian Democratic Union/ Christian Social Union (CDU/CSU) securing an historic low vote share.
2021-09-29 17:00
Why a smarter campaign on terror is key, 20 years on
As the 20th anniversary of 9/11 has just passed, Joe Biden has declared that U.S.-led anti-terror efforts must continue following the end of the war in Afghanistan, but Washington would be wise to deploy a much smarter campaign going forward.
2021-09-13 17:02
September: massive month for diplomacy
The stand-out diplomatic highlight each September is usually the annual U.N. General Assembly meetings in New York, yet this month sees much stronger competition in a massive month of global summitry that includes the BRICS - referring Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) forums, as well as potentially a special Afghan meeting of the G20, including South Korea.
