RECENT HIGHLIGHTS
- EAST ASIAN SECURITY AND DEMOCRACY: THE PLACE OF TAIWAN
Taiwan is now a prosperous democracy and cross-Strait tensions have lessened. As the balance of power between the U.S. and China shifts, what is the future for Taiwan, and what role will it play in the region? Charles Kegley is optimistic.
- FORCES OF FORTUNE: THE RISE OF THE NEW MUSLIM MIDDLE CLASS AND WHAT IT WILL MEAN FOR OUR WORLD
Capitalism is the key to changing the Muslim world, declares Vali Nasr. Entrepreneurial middle classes have a stake in the system and are more interested in economic success than religious extremism.
- HOW MARKETS FAIL: THE LOGIC OF ECONOMIC CALAMITIES
The market's failure was not simply a result of greed, mass myopia, or government failure, says John Cassidy, although these were all contributing factors. "I ultimately see this crisis as a crisis of ideas, and misapplied ideas."
- PROSPECTS FOR ARMS CONTROL IN THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
There are an estimated 23,000 nuclear weapons on the planet and they remain one of the greatest dangers we face, says John Isaacs. Obama has provided an opportunity for unprecedented progress on this issue. Will he succeed?
 CIVIL RESISTANCE AND POWER POLITICS: THE EXPERIENCE OF NON-VIOLENT ACTION FROM GANDHI TO THE PRESENT
Adam Roberts asks: Should civil resistance be seen as potentially replacing violence completely, or as a phenomenon that operates in conjunction with, and as a modification of, power politics?
- JUSTICE: WHAT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO?
Political philosopher Michael Sandel turns the Council into a classroom. Using questions such as military service, he engages the audience in a lively debate on what individuals owe society.
- BRIEFING ON AFGHANISTAN
"Afghanistan makes Iraq look easy," says U.S. Army Colonel (Ret.) Jeffrey D. McCausland. His comprehensive and evenhanded briefing analyzes the situation on the ground and the possible consequences of sending more troops.
