  • Understanding the Taliban

    The Taliban's Winning Strategy in Afghanistan

    Taliban

    The Taliban have developed a coherent leadership, sophisticated propaganda operation, and national reach that have put the International Coalition on the defensive, marginalized the local Afghan government, and given the Taliban control of the South and East. Gilles Dorronsoro explains that the Coalition should prioritize securing Kabul and the North where the Taliban are still weak but making alarming progress.

    Coordinating Responses to the Global Economic Crisis

    G20 summit

    During the April G20 meeting, the United States, China, and the EU sidestepped reaching a consensus on the root causes of the economic crisis. Michael Pettis warns in a new policy brief that until the major powers can agree on why the crisis started they will not be able to effectively coordinate policies to promote recovery, and the world economy will likely get worse before it gets better.

    Nuclear power plant

    International expectations for nuclear energy have grown dramatically. Scores of nations are now considering nuclear power to improve their energy security and reduce their carbon emissions.

    Brazil’s Trade Challenges

    Brazil

    After eight years of strong growth, Brazil has emerged as a key player in global trade negotiations. A Doha trade agreement or a major trade pact with other developing countries, including China, would provide a small boost to Brazil’s economy, according to a new report from the Carnegie Endowment, the International Labour Office, and the UN Development Program.

    Gaza Bomb Site

    Negotiations over a two-state solution to resolve the Israeli–Palestinian conflict have reached a dead end.
