Could the U.S. Play Offense in China's Back Yard?
Derek Grossman @DerekJGrossman
Jan 13, 2022
Foreign Policy
Relations with Cambodia and Laos have fallen victim to the U.S. administration's foreign policy priority of shared values over shared interests. This approach has failed to make headway in Cambodia and Laos, isolates the United States in a region where few countries are true democracies, and unnecessarily cedes ground to Beijing.

Is Russia's Su-75 'Checkmate' Aircraft a Case of Vapor Marketing?
John V. Parachini @JohnParachini, Peter A. Wilson
Jan 6, 2022
Defense One
During a Moscow air show last summer, Russia rolled out a mockup of the Su-75, a multipurpose fighter-bomber designed to compete in the global marketplace. But given the Russian aerospace sector's difficulties in developing, let alone delivering, advanced combat aircraft, prospective buyers should consider a range of options to meet defense needs.

South Korea's Presidential Election: Beyond Mudslinging, What Gives?
Soo Kim @mllesookim
Jan 3, 2022
Nikkei Asia
The 2022 South Korean presidential campaign has focused largely on personal attacks and allegations of corruption with little attention being paid to pressing issues facing the nation. The absence of meaningful policy debate and clarity on policy deliverables will continue to leave the South Korean electorate largely uninformed about what may be the most important decision they will make in 2022.

Dec 29, 2021
Geoengineering technologies that could block the sun's rays or siphon huge amounts of carbon from the air are not that far out of reach. Yet the international community has not established the kinds of guardrails you might expect for potentially world-changing technologies.

Police leaders spend considerable time developing strategic plans, but events and circumstances can evolve in unanticipated ways. To create survivable plans, leaders should assess capabilities and the environment within which they work. To do so, they should incorporate foresight to develop the adaptability necessary to thrive.

Complex Calculations Shape Pakistan-TTP Negotiations
Brian Michael Jenkins @BrianMJenkins
Dec 20, 2021
The Express Tribune
Pakistan sees the Taliban as a facilitator of discussions with the TTP, as an ally in persuading the TTP to negotiate, and as a guarantor of whatever agreement is reached. And given the Taliban's diplomatic isolation and desperate economic situation, Pakistan can in return assist Afghanistan's new rulers in gaining acceptance and aid.

Biden's Southeast Asia Policy Still Has Much to Prove
Derek Grossman @DerekJGrossman
Dec 17, 2021
Foreign Policy
As the Biden administration's first year comes to a close, how is the United States faring in Southeast Asia? Washington got a lot right, but it could do better to optimize competition against China and work on a more sensitive understanding of the delicate and at times precarious position Southeast Asian states are in.

How to Explain This Weird Job Market
Kathryn A. Edwards @keds_economist
Dec 14, 2021
The Wall Street Journal
It's tempting to see in 2021 a harbinger of some permanent shift in our labor market, but that would be premature. What is clear is that we will never recreate the world of December 2019. The labor market in 2022 and beyond will reflect not only what workers learned from their pandemic experience, but also how employers and policymakers choose to respond.

Temporary Safety-Net Policies Prevented Mass Insurance Loss During the Pandemic
Christine Eibner @Chrissyeibner, Jodi L. Liu @jodilliu
Dec 13, 2021
The RAND Blog
Although it provided a foundation, the ACA alone could not have absorbed the effects of the pandemic's sudden job losses on health care coverage. Temporary expansions to the safety net enacted by Congress also were necessary to stem coverage loss. As the pandemic continues, policymakers will want to keep safety-net provisions as available policy options.
