<description><![CDATA[ William Shakespeare’s line “the time is out of joint” is often read as a lament for disorder or moral decay. In its original dramatic setting, however, Hamlet is troubled less by chaos than by misalignment: a world in which established forms remain intact while the forces that once animated them have shifted. Authority persists, rituals continue and… Continue reading The Time Is Out of Joint: Power, Misalignment and the G1.5 World

<description><![CDATA[ Within hours of the start of the Iran War, Beijing issued a statement condemning the operation as a violation of international law and calling for an immediate ceasefire.

<description><![CDATA[ The diplomatic air between Brussels and Tehran has never been thinner. Not since 1992, when a state-sponsored hit squad opened fire in a Berlin restaurant, has the relationship been this toxic. But today’s rupture is deeper and more structural.

<description><![CDATA[ The defining feature of Washington’s Iran policy right now is not a single strike package or a single speech. It is the sequence. The US entered a large, high-tempo campaign against Iran, and only afterward did the Senate move toward a vote designed to force the president to seek congressional authorization for continuing hostilities.

<description><![CDATA[ At the recently concluded World Economic Forum in Switzerland and the Munich Security Conference in Germany, a striking rhetorical current ran through the discussions of great-power rivalry and shifting alliances: the suggestion that international law, alongside the once-unassailable “rules-based international order,” now amounts to little more than a mental “abstraction” based on a trivial consensus.… Continue reading Inconvenient Fictions: The Deliberate Dismantling of International Law and Norms
