🌐 In Defense of the Liberal International Order: 📖 This book – a part of a joint research project by The Prospect Foundation (PF), the Institute for Security and Development Policy (ISDP), and the Kajima Institute of International Peace (KIIP)– is an attempt to provide fresh perspectives on the theme “Future of International Order based on Liberalism.” 🔎 It analyzes the evolving political realities and aims to plug the gaps in current governance models, with special reference to three key areas: (1) A strategic shield vis-à-vis the Taiwan contingency; (2) a new geopolitical equilibrium in the Indo-Pacific; and (3) a new partnership with the Global South. Going forward, it also provides notable policy recommendations. ➡️ Find the book here: https://lnkd.in/dZzMMHY4 👏 Many thanks for all the valuable contributions: Norah M.

In partnership with Japan Foundation Manila, the Stratbase ADR Institute is hosting an international conference entitled, “Bridging Borders: Triangular Cooperation for Regional Prosperity between the Philippines, India, and Japan.” This hybrid event will be held on March 1, 2024 (Friday) from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM (PHT).  Security, especially maritime security, stands out as a key domain for cooperation within the Philippine-Japan-India triangularity. Recognizing the importance of protecting peace, prosperity, and geostrategic stability in the Indo-Pacific, it is imperative for the three states to continue exploring avenues for collaboration in both the security and economic domains. The event aims to engage in insightful conversations, nurture collaborative efforts, and, most importantly, play a vital role in cultivating a peaceful and stable maritime environment within the region. Together, the Institute aims to chart a course towards a more promising maritime future, emphasizing shared goals, cooperative strategies, and strengthened ties among the Philippines, Japan, and India.   To join the discussions, please register here: https://lnkd.in/gAMz2Dzk

I still remember this as being one of the most fruitful engagements I have ever attended on the Blue Economy and Maritime Security in Africa... We must now review the recommendations made and begin with their implementation before the next Symposium... #AfricanMaritimeSecurity #BlueEconomy #ProspectsforAgenda2063

Reflecting on a compelling evening at the SOAS Middle East Institute event (SMEI). Prof. Robert Springborg, Nomi Bar-Yaacov and Dr. Ziya Meral, delved into the intricate challenges facing Middle East security. The discussion spanned geopolitical dynamics, climate-related risks, and the limitations of traditional defense policies. Notably, the conversation touched upon the transformative shifts in the Middle East, emphasising the need for a nuanced understanding of both state and human security, acknowledging the complexities posed by new and lingering threats. While acknowledging the changing global landscape, the speakers debated the efficacy of international institutions, suggesting the importance of reevaluating their roles. Emphasis was placed on the necessity for inclusive dialogue, even with challenging counterparts, to address climate change, conflicts, and evolving geopolitical dynamics. A key takeaway was the need for the UK to integrate various aspects, from trade to security, in the Middle East, recognising the Gulf's subtle shift in diplomatic infrastructure and influential role on the international stage. #MiddleEastSecurity #GlobalDiplomacy #ClimateChange #MultilateralApproach

Tomorrow 26March at 3:30pm CET I will be speaking alongside brilliant colleagues, moderated by Luigi Narbone at a roundtable by Luiss Mediterranean Platform titled "Alarm in the Red Sea: What to expect and how to ensure the security of this vital maritime artery." The event will take place online and in presence at the Luiss Loft in Viale Romania.   The recent Houthi attacks have highlighted not only the military and economic centrality of the Red Sea trade hub, but also its structural insecurity, driven by endogenous and exogenous factors.   This roundtable will seek to understand the future of security in the Red Sea. It will examine the political and geo-economic competition among regional and international actors to control this critical maritime route, contextualising interests and power dynamics with the unfolding events in Gaza.

The Asia-Pacific Roundtable, convened by ISIS Malaysia on behalf of the ASEAN-ISIS network, attracts more than 300 diverse thinkers annually to foster constructive conversations on issues shaping the region’s security, stability, sustainability and prosperity.    This year’s theme examines the impact of the interregnum on the norms and mechanisms that have shaped the existing international order. How will established and emerging middle and major powers adapt to these shifts? Will common ground and cooperation prevail amid uncertainty?    Join us as we delve into these pressing issues at the 37APR. https://lnkd.in/gsEswRMN #ISISMalaysia #Asiapacificroundatble #37APR 

The Centre of Global Studies, Parliamentary Assembly of the Mediterranean’s Think Tank, has officially been inaugurated today in the Republic of San Marino. Together with our Chairman H.E. Amb. Abdulsalam AlMadani and Director Hon. Gennaro Migliore, we have finally started this remarkable #journey towards fostering international understanding and cooperation. At the heart of our mission lies the concept of building #trust, where dialogue, collaboration, and mutual respect pave the way for a brighter, more interconnected World. The CGS-PAM is already engaged in a number of partnerships with high-level institutions and organizations, including the United Nations and the Council of Europe, on a range of critical issues, such as the malicious use of #AI and innovative technologies, CBRNe threats, as well as the UN-led efforts to reflect of the functioning and effectiveness of multilateral international institutions, in order to rebuild the concept of trust in the world governance system. Today marks not only the opening of a physical space but also the beginning of a profound exchange of ideas and perspectives. Let’s open to the World!
