The US and China Must Cooperate in Space
“Although the United States and China will likely remain at odds on many issues, President Joe Biden’s administration must also recognize those areas where cooperation is in America’s best interest. Global threats like pandemics and climate change are obvious examples; setting norms for commercial activities in space is another” (Slaughter and Lawrence, 2021).
Europe’s China Gambit
“The new EU-China agreement underscores a fundamental question of the post-pandemic world order: How should strategic and economic relations between major powers with very different institutional and political arrangements be managed? Can democracies remain true to their values while engaging in trade and investment with China?” (Dani Rodrik, 2021).
Let’s Work With Latin America to Fight Climate Change
“It will be important for the United States to coordinate on climate change globally, from fast-growing emitters in Asia to resolute partners in Europe. But Latin America is perhaps the best region for the incoming administration to start building alliances” (Lisa Viscidi, 2021).
The age of national self-interest must end if we are to vanquish the pandemic
“Libertarianism has led to rich countries vying for vaccines. Collaboration, not competition, is the only the way forward” (Will Hutton 2021).
America Can’t Promote Democracy Abroad. It Can’t Even Protect It at Home.
The January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol is “a sign of how broken U.S. foreign-policy debates are that the primary reaction from many commentators was to worry about America’s moral authority and global leadership” (Emma Ashford, 2021).
A Messy Financial Divorce for the US and China
“Even as official financial decoupling progresses, US and other financial firms are – with China’s blessing – building asset management, securities, life insurance, fintech, and custody businesses in the Chinese market. Should President-elect Joe Biden's administration support this process or double down on decoupling? (George Magnus, 2021).
Whose Post-Pandemic Century?
“After almost a year of living under the cloud of the pandemic, it is clear that even poor Asian countries managed COVID-19 far better than the United States and Europe. But whether 2020 thus marked the beginning of a new "Asian Century" still remains to be seen” (Bill Emmott, 2020)
The Missing Link in Economic Development
“Like the proverbial man with a hammer who sees every problem as a nail, economists study the world through the lens of incentives, and have developed a rich understanding of how market participants make decisions. But although incentives are important, developing countries must do more than institute the right ones” (Ricardo Hausmann, 2020).
China is Gnawing at Democracy's Roots Worldwide
“Thirty years on, the world, according to the Chinese Communist Party, is undergoing a once-in-a-century change that will turn the tide of global power from the West to the East, thus transforming the nature of post-World War II international order” (Vijay Gokhale, 2020).
Together, U.S. And China Can Reduce The Risks From AI
“Despite a deterioration in U.S.-China relations, both countries should seize this rare historical moment to develop common norms on AI” (Fu Ying and John Allen, 2020).
