By Agus P. Sari |
|
|
While it is tempting to describe the Copenhagen climate change conference as a failure, especially given the lack of political leadership and the failure of diplomacy to produce the expected outcome, the accord

Nearing the Tipping Point:
The Failure to Find a Way Back
By Yurika Ayukawa |
|
|

Taking Engagement Seriously:
Why Obama Should Honor His Campaign Pledges
By Mel Gurtov |
|
|
When US President Barack Obama was campaigning for office, engaging enemies was a cardinal element of his foreign policy platform.

As China rapidly moves to center stage in world politics,

on these questions.
