“The United States and its allies share a common aspiration for an international order based on democratic principles and enshrined in international agreements and laws. The core of such an order is being forged in the crucible of competition with China and could be built out into the most enlightened order the world has ever seen—a genuine free world. But to get there, the United States and its allies will have to embrace competition with China and march forward together through another long twilight struggle.”

“In the case of the crisis in Ukraine, so far, it appears as if the United States is using the intelligence it has gathered to maximum effect. At long last, Washington is catching up to its rivals—including Russia and Wikileaks—in the use of information to shape events. The true gauge of the strategy’s efficacy, of course, will be whether or not Russia actually invades.” Read Douglas London on the benefits and risks of disclosing U.S. intelligence.

“If the Conservative Party does embrace right-wing populism, it would be a departure from its traditional moderation—one with troubling consequences for Canadian democracy. “

[SS from the article by Samuel Ramani, Tutor of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford]
“Russia’s indiscriminate arms sales fuel conflict, its shadowy commercial deals empower kleptocracy, and its autocratic bent undermines democracy. Nor is the flurry of activity good news for the United States and its allies, which are seeing their soft power in Africa dissipate. To counter the Kremlin’s influence, then, the West needs to turn its attention to the continent once more—without turning Africa into an arena for great-power competition.”

[SS from the article by Nnimmo Bassey, Director of the Health of Mother Earth Foundation, and Anabela Lemos, Director and a founding member of Justiça Ambiental]
“By continuing to finance gas expansion in Africa, outside investors are in fact displacing renewables, delaying Africa’s energy transition, and making it harder for countries to decarbonize and escape a harmful extractive economic model. Investments in renewable energy would produce an economic model that is cheaper, more reliable, and more democratic. Africa need not be seen as a site of destitution and need. It is a continent with rich knowledge, practices, and potential for establishing ecologically sound socioeconomic systems—ones that don’t replicate the mistakes made by so many others in the past century.”

[SS from the article by Liana Fix and Michael Kimmage]
“If Russia gains control of Ukraine or manages to destabilize it on a major scale, a new era for the United States and for Europe will begin. U.S. and European leaders would face the dual challenge of rethinking European security and of not being drawn into a larger war with Russia. All sides would have to consider the potential of nuclear-armed adversaries in direct confrontation. These two responsibilities—robustly defending European peace and prudently avoiding military escalation with Russia—will not necessarily be compatible. The United States and its allies could find themselves deeply unprepared for the task of having to create a new European security order as a result of Russia’s military actions in Ukraine.”

[SS from the article by Nnimmo Bassey and Anabela Lemos]
“Decades of fossil fuel development have failed to deliver energy to much of Africa and have built economic models dependent on extraction that have deepened inequality, caused environmental damage, stoked corruption, and encouraged political repression.”
Western-backed fossil fuel investments have done serious harm across Africa. Financing renewable energy projects is a much better way for international investors to help the continent meet its energy needs, argue Nnimmo Bassey and Anabela Lemos.
