Emerging trends in transnational security: from the rise of non-state actors to force privatization
In their attempts to build a Hindu state in India, the right-wing populists risk losing both the decades-long experiment with democracy and the protracted attempts to create a multicultural nation where free and fearless self-expression is possible.
The Thai higher education industry will play a pivotal role in upskilling the current and future workforce and transforming the Thai economy into an authentic ‘digital’ and ‘smart’ nation.
The development of the SEZs has undoubtedly been a powerful growth engine for domestic and regional markets in Southeast Asia. It is, however, greatly irresponsible and unethical to overlook their immense social byproducts.
EAO strategies are best understood as the result of multifarious and often contentious relations between differently placed actors of heterogeneous movements that reach deep into wider society.
The vaccination process across Southeast Asia is proceeding slowly, and neighbouring powers such as China and India are eager to take advantage of this situation through what has been labelled ‘vaccine diplomacy’.
Over the past thirty years, peace agreements reached following civil wars have rarely lived up to their promises, let alone the hopes for societal transformation and ‘positive peace’ adumbrated at the time of their signature.

“Quello che dice il governo cinese in realtà lo pensano molti cinesi, anche molti colleghi, e cioè che l’Occidente ammanta di valori i suoi interessi. Alla fine, tra valori e interessi – lo vediamo adesso con il gas russo – sceglie gli interessi, e quindi non predichi in giro per il mondo certi valori quando peraltro non dovremmo dimenticate, visto dall’altra parte del mondo cos’è stato il colonialismo occidentale, vaglielo a dire che l’Inghilterra di oggi non è più l’Inghilterra descritta da George Orwell in Giorni in Birmania.”
"This study finds that #Syria articulates a strategic narrative which significantly overstates its relationship with #China for domestic and foreign policy reasons."
