All items tagged interventionOpen Think Tank ArticlesSeptember 17, 2009 | Strengthening the Non-Aggression Norm within NATOIan Davis: Criticism of Germany as an unreliable military ally is widespread and growing. But rather than deregulating the rules of German military engagement, we should be looking to include similar non-aggression clauses in the national legislation of other NATO member states. ... MoreGlobal Must Read ArticlesJanuary 23, 2012 | Bomb-Bomb-Bomb Iran?A preemptive strike represents one pole of the debate on Iran, the most abused foreign policy topic this election. ++ Best indicators suggest that Iran’s nuclear program is moving fully ahead and could produce a weapon within one year. ++ Obama’s policy promises to be tougher than US policy under Bush as he gathers global support for a crippling boycott of Iranian oil. ++ There is a long-term ... MoreSeptember 29, 2011 | Libya's Lasting LegacyThe Libyan intervention has proven NATO’s resilience as a military alliance. ++ While not all NATO members participated in the military operation, a coalition of the willing spearheaded by France and the UK successfully coordinated their efforts to lend critical support to the rebels. ++ The exemplary partnership between the American intelligence community and the European naval and air forces ... MoreSeptember 27, 2011 | China's Not Ready To Become a Responsible PowerDespite cultivating the image of a “peaceful power”, Beijing’s response to the Libyan intervention was a missed opportunity for China to embrace the role of a global leader. ++ Instead of acting as a responsible member of the international community, China was preoccupied with protecting its own national interests in Libya. ++ China should have used its position as a non-NATO member of the UN ... MoreJuly 20, 2009 | The World Cannot Keep Ignoring SomaliaThe world cannot ignore the renewed violence in Somalia, which is not a classic civil war but an external attempt to overthrow a legitimate, recognized government. ++ “While the world focuses elsewhere, groups of foreign extremists are trying to take control of a strategically placed country.” ++ The international community must support President Ahmed and punish the perpetrators with travel ... MoreApril 3, 2009 | Defending Human Rights Isn't Neo-ColonialismSilence often prevails over the denouncing of atrocities that take place in the Muslim world because the fear of compromising dialogue is huge. ++ Yet, there is a limit to the threshold of acceptance. ++ Even if communication between the Muslim and Western communities is key, when fundamental human rights such as discrimination and violence against women are at stake we cannot close our eyes. ++ ... MoreDecember 9, 2008 | The West Must Rebuild Failed StatesThe failure of governance in Pakistan and Somalia has given rise to both terrorism and piracy. ++ The international response to these challenges has thus far been inadequate and ineffectual. ++ Neo-imperialist intervention has the greatest chance of success, but there is a distinct lack of will in the West to fully engage. ++ The US and its allies seem to be waiting for another 9/11 before they ... MoreJune 27, 2008 | Zimbabwe's Opposition Had No ChoiceZimbabwe’s opposition leader was right to withdraw from the runoff presidential “election”. ++ Thousands of his supporters have been kidnapped and tortured, thousands more would probably have suffered, and it would all have been for nothing. ++ There will be no effective intervention in Zimbabwe from outside, as the only leader capable of intervention is Mugabe’s friend Thabo Mbeki. ... MoreJune 12, 2008 | No More Humanitarian Interventions“Many of the world’s necessary interventions in the decade before the invasion - in places like Haiti and the Balkans - would seem impossible in today’s climate.” ++ In the wake of the Burmese cyclone, the strength of totalitarian governments and the unwillingness of others to pressure them have all become troublingly apparent. ++ US involvement in Iraq has only accelerated this ... MoreApril 28, 2008 | Independent Tibet Would Mean More SufferingIndependence is first about daily economic realities, and not about religious practice or ideology. ++ Tibet has made no visible steps to build on its autonomy; without China Tibet is not even able to feed its population. ++ All those Hollywood personalities will not create new jobs or build better infrastructure, as China did. ++ The world has a large enough inventory of failed ideas like Iraq. ...
