The Underlying Causes of Stability and Unrest in the Middle East and North Africa: An Analytic Survey

0

The current series of crises in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) have many causes, and causes that that vary sharply by country. The political dynamics of these crises, however, are only part of the story. An examination of the broader demographic, economic, and security trends in the MENA region shows how critical these factors are in shaping public anger and discontent. They also show the critical role of governance, social change, and justice systems in shaping and dealing with each more...

The U.S.-ASEAN Relationship in 2030

0

Thinking about the U.S.-ASEAN relationship in 2030 is a useful exercise for testing the tenets of U.S. strategy in the region and in Asia generally. Does the United States have plans in place that will move it toward a vision—along with ASEAN, its members, and other key actors—that promotes its best interests on issues ranging from economic growth and prosperity to regional security to coping with transnational threats and disaster? And can the United States do so while promoting strong more...

Misunderstood: Getting the Right Response to Food Shortages in the Sahel

0

A bleak narrative of 16 million plus people on the brink of starvation in West Africa’s Sahel region has captured headlines. But the brewing food crisis, spanning Senegal, Gambia, Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, and Chad, has been overstated, and the headlines fail to identify the core causes of food insecurity and malnutrition in the region.

U.S. and Iranian Strategic Competition: The Impact of Latin America, Africa and Peripheral States

0

This report shows that Iran pursues cooperation with states on the geographic and strategic periphery of the competition between the US and Iran in order to create a network of diplomatic and economic relationships or “partners” who can lessen the blow of international sanctions and generally oppose Western attempts to constrict its ambitions. These peripheral “partners,” located mainly in Africa and Latin America, also serve as alternative markets for Iranian oil, provide diplomatic cover for more...

Afghanistan: The Uncertain Economics of Transition

0

The economics of Afghanistan are only one aspect of the challenges posed by US, allied, and Afghan efforts to accomplish a successful transition. There are many reasons that transition will either fail or be determined by Afghanistan’s internal dynamics and the role of regional states regardless of what the US, Europe, and other aid donors do.

Strengthening Governance and Development in the Pacific

0

As the United States focuses its energy on engaging the Asia-Pacific region, it has a growing interest in promoting good governance practices in Oceania. More than just democratic values and respect for human rights are at stake, as important as those are. The Pacific population is set to reach 18 million by 2050 and unemployment rates are already alarmingly high.

Information Technology in Health Care : e-Health for Japanese Health Services

0

As Japan faces rapid aging, a declining birthrate, widening income disparity, expanding fiscal debt, and remarkable hikes in health care costs, the sustainability of its health care system is at stake. Despite the need to allocate limited medical resources optimally, Japan lacks a common platform for sharing medical data, ideally over the Internet. An e-health system presents an effective and efficient means to reduce costs and improve the quality of health care services. Moving forward on a more...

Will Food Prices Drive Instability?

0

Over the past five years the world has faced serious volatility in food prices and supplies, which has sparked instability around the world. Some contend that events leading to the 2011 Arab Spring were in part triggered by food insecurity and pervasive hunger among the populations of Libya, Egypt, Tunisia, Yemen, and Syria.

Biodefense: When Technology Goes Global

0

Biotechnologies present critical choices for the United States in this new strategic era. These technologies contain both great promise and great risk. Genetically modified crops may provide the means to feed the world’s growing population, and new drugs may treat diseases that have plagued humans throughout the millennia. The growth of this sector may provide good jobs and profits for American workers and industry.

Political Governance and Strategy in Afghanistan

0

Afghanistan’s de facto system of governance is a politically driven “hybrid” order made up of shifting links among many different formal, informal, and illicit actors, networks, and institutions. Because its central government does not have the capacity to govern through its extremely centralized system and will not have that capacity for at least a generation, it will need to share the burden of stabilizing and governing the country with other governance and political actors. Alone, those more...
