Great insight from #TeamSPB on the proposed rule that was released by the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) to amend regulations in order to enhance the Committee’s identification and resolution of national security risks.

I’m elated to share my first publication, and it’s a research article, titled “Regional Groupings and their Role in Combating Global Violence.” This article has gotten published in The Probe, a bi-monthly student-magazine published by Caucus : The Discussion Forum of Hindu College, Delhi University. This article addresses how regional groupings, including SAARC, G-20, QUAD, ASEAN, the EU, and the African Union, can be strategically important in countering global violence. Their historical background, initiatives, and effectiveness are analysed; organisations are appraised concerning their capabilities on a wide spectrum of issues, such as terrorism and military conflicts to political instability and socio-economic crises. This article is based on a fine analysis of their peacebuilding efforts, diplomatic interventions, and military collaborations, which reveal how regional cooperation is becoming a key pillar in the world's security architecture. Such a study is also important because of its comprehensive evaluation of the successes and limitations of these groupings so that their roles can be ascertained in furthering international relations. This research article contributes to the academic discourse with a nuanced understanding of the impacts of regional diplomacy toward areas of diminishing violence and building peace, an area most pertinent to today's multipolar and conflict-prone global landscape.

Today RCDS had the pleasure of welcoming Professor Michael Clarke to Seaford House to deliver the first external lecture of the Global Strategic Programme - the Contested Concept of Security. Members were asked to consider the characteristics of security in the contemporary world and how this is likely to change further in the light of shifts in global politics? What is a ‘contested concept’ in international relations theory and security and strategic studies? What are the different lenses through which security may be viewed?

This talk, like many others, discusses what the world would look like if the #CCP invades #Taiwan and conquers it... which impacts #US thinking. But has anyone assessed what the world would look like if the #CCP attacks and fails, leaving #Taiwan as a free, independent state now formally recognized by the world? And is there evidence that the #CCP has thought about this, and how does it affect their thinking? I'm not concerned with the 'how', I'm concerned with the 'so what' if this outcome occurs. And in this scenario, things don't go to status quo ante - in such a scenario, assuming the US and its allies supported Taiwan in the conflict and have traded blows the the #PRC, these same nations now also fully invest in Taiwan, giving it full diplomatic recognition, and staging US and allied forces and weapons on Taiwan in the aftermath. The #CCP is reeling from the loss across DIME, and the consequences of being a pariah state. What does this world look like? https://lnkd.in/eq9mEHqS

The EU’s approach to market competition is undergoing significant changes. Competition is now being “securitized” in the EU, reshaped by geopolitical concerns rather than purely economic ones. The change is surprising, as the EU was initially established as a peace project, not a traditional state with national interests. How will the intertwining of market and security logics shape the EU going forward?
