David E. Johnson @DaveJohnsonDC
Jun 28, 2022
RealClearDefense
At what point can the United States and other countries no longer afford the massive transfer of weapons to the Ukrainians, lest they jeopardize the readiness of their own militaries?

Should Ukraine Settle with Russia?
Raymond Kuo @Kuorum1
Jun 22, 2022
RealClearDefense
Should the United States humiliate Russia—and Russian President Vladimir Putin specifically—over the Russo-Ukrainian War? It could lead to escalation and new wars, but the United States and NATO may need to think twice before offering concessions.

Modi's Multipolar Moment Has Arrived
Derek Grossman @DerekJGrossman
Jun 6, 2022
Foreign Policy
Russia's war in Ukraine has benefited India as great powers are competing more vigorously for New Delhi's affection, particularly the United States and China. India has also prevented its Russia policy from spoiling partnerships with key European and Indo-Pacific partners. These trends, if sustained, will contribute to India's rise to great-power status and in turn, shift the global system toward even greater multipolarity.

Samuel Charap @scharap
Jun 1, 2022
Foreign Affairs
In late March, Ukrainian diplomats introduced an innovative framework for a deal that could provide a pathway out of the war. There are powerful obstacles to achieving an agreement based on the framework, but so far it is the most plausible pathway identified to a sustainable peace for Ukraine.

Rethinking the EU's Role in European Collective Defence
Lucia Retter, Stephanie Pezard @StephaniePezard
May 20, 2022
Euractiv
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is forcing European nations to quickly re-evaluate how best to maintain their collective security. This makes the concept of European strategic autonomy—the EU's increased ability to operate independently and with partners of choice on defence and security matters—more relevant than ever.

Bruce W. Bennett @bwbennett, Young-jun Kim
May 20, 2022
The Korea Times
In his inaugural address in 1998, former South Korean President Kim Dae-jung defined three principles for Korean Peninsula peace and security. How might these principles be adjusted to manage today's changing North Korean threats and the Korean security environment?

Ukraine War Is Motivating Taiwan to Better Secure Its Own Future
Derek Grossman @DerekJGrossman
May 13, 2022
Nikkei Asia
Russia's invasion of Ukraine is probably motivating Taiwan to better secure its own future versus China. But many of the challenges currently facing Taiwan, such as shortcomings in reservist training or lingering confusion over its military strategy, are difficult to fix, assuming they are even fixable.

New Philippine President Marcos Jr. Likely Won't Repeat Duterte's Foreign Policy Mistakes
Derek Grossman @DerekJGrossman
May 10, 2022
Foreign Policy
The May 2022 election of Bongbong Marcos as the next president of the Philippines will hold significant implications for Manila's foreign policy. He is likely to be influenced by the policies of both his father, former dictator Ferdinand Marcos, and his predecessor, Rodrigo Duterte, yielding a new government interested in engaging China while keeping the United States close by.

Fast Company

The Escalation Fixation
Raphael S. Cohen
May 6, 2022
The Hill
Fears of global nuclear annihilation should have produced a concerted effort by all sides to keep the Ukraine conflict limited. But the focus on escalation—rather than ensuring Russia's defeat—has instead made the international security picture more precarious.

Geostrategic Consequences of Russia's War Against Ukraine
William Courtney @courtneywmh, Peter A. Wilson
Apr 26, 2022
The Hill
After two months of fighting in Ukraine, some longer-term geostrategic consequences are coming into focus. Russia may emerge as a massive loser. Perhaps not since the collapse of the USSR has European security been so challenged. But Ukraine and its Western partners are showing that aggression in Europe may not pay.

Is There a Future for Multilateralism?
Rafiq Dossani
Apr 4, 2022
South China Morning Post
The rise in the use of informal arrangements and the proliferation in the use of regional arrangements have weakened multilateral institutions. Multilateralism's failure, if it happens, could raise significant challenges on how to address global public issues.

Putin's Actions in Ukraine Are Spilling North
Abbie Tingstad, Stephanie Pezard @StephaniePezard, Benjamin J. Sacks, Scott R. Stephenson @SRStephenson
Mar 30, 2022
The Hill
The decision of seven Arctic countries to suspend collaborative work with Russia in the Arctic is by far the most severe and consequential break in cooperation the region has ever seen. This breakdown of Arctic diplomacy could have several important impacts on the region and could potentially threaten the United States as well as its allies.
