Agenda

American Drama: Act I

The dramatic events that unfolded in the US capital in the beginning of January 2021 have added suspense to the narrative of tread towards the ‘new brave world.’ By and large the popular uprising in support of outgoing President Trump represents a finishing touch in setting the scene where the Covid-19 pandemic continued to form the background.

Macro View of US-China Tech Competition: Where Are We and What to Expect?

While the tit-for-tat tariff war between the two largest economies in the world seems to have subsided since the Phase 1 deal was agreed upon last December, the strategic competition between US and China is far from an end. Apart from trade measures, the US has leveraged several other weapons against China.

Russia and the West: A Second Cold or the First Cool War?

Current Cool War and other similar conflicts are not a new Cold War or a relapse of the old Cold War, but phenomena of a new era that have their own causes, logic, dynamics, and inertia. Accordingly, they require completely different responses and solutions. Recipes of the 20th century will not work in a new era.
