The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation’s principle that economic development and security are inseparable, is far more advanced than NATO’s exclusive security concept and will inevitably become mainstream in the field of international security.

While China and the United States are the most important external stakeholders on the Korean Peninsula, Russia has focused more on its strategic interests in the region out of concern over security issues in Europe. To achieve enduring peace, communication must resume under the multilateral framework of the Six-Party Talks.

The transformations spurred by the election are evolutionary rather than revolutionary. This year’s contest was less dramatic than earlier ones and the outcomes were more incremental.

As tensions between China and the U.S. increase amid various global crises, there are worrisome parallels resembling the prelude to World War I. There is a critical need for proactive diplomacy to mitigate escalating tensions and avoid a potential conflict in the near future.

Multipolarity has become a buzzword in global affairs with due credit to countries in the Global South taking strides toward establishing power independent of the U.S. or China. As developing nations demand a bigger share of voice, what challenges will they face?

Now that the United States has introduced a new set of import tariffs on Chinese goods, the world’s two largest economies appear to be on the brink of open economic warfare – and developing countries are in danger of getting caught in the crossfire. Beyond the risk that they could face sanctions or other trade restrictions if one superpower perceives them to be helping the other, Sino-American trade tensions are eroding the value of many of these economies’ comparative advantages, such as cheap labor and land. Coping with these challenges will require skillful economic statecraft.

The Biden administration’s new tariffs on Chinese goods are primarily symbolic and political, with negligible economic impact, but they aim to protect and foster the U.S. clean energy supply chain, particularly in the EV sector. However, the tariffs are politically motivated and could undermine industrial policy goals by focusing on geopolitical competition rather than applying uniformly to all countries.
