Read @ccaryl.bsky.social on how the rise of the Georgian Dream party has contributed to Georgia’s authoritarian turn—and what Moscow stands to gain if Tbilisi pivots decisively away from the West:
Georgia’s Authoritarian Drift
The West should not let Tbilisi slip back into Russia’s orbit.

In 2024, a few remarkable events offered a glimmer of hope, proving that democracy, while vulnerable, has an inherent capacity for resilience. Nowhere was this resilience more evident than in Senegal, South Korea, and India. #MyPiece National Herald, 29 December 2024.

The fall of the Bashar al-Assad regime is likely to provide Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan with freer rein in Syria—but it will also heighten the risk of instability and extremism that could spill over into Turkey, writes @gonultol.bsky.social.
How Turkey Won the Syrian Civil War
Assad’s downfall is a boon for Erdogan—at least for now.

Tusen år av historia utraderad i Gaza
I Gaza har moskéer, muséer och badhus förstörts. ”Aldrig tidigare har kulturarv attackerats på det här viset”, säger arkeologen Marc-André Haldimann.

Our Prof. Isak Svensson discusses the preconditions for peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia in an article for Svenska Yle (the Finnish Public Service Media Company's branch for content in Swedish.)

”Ett evigt fredsbyggande” – Ukraina behöver avskräckningsmekanismer för att få slut på Rysslands krig

New opinion piece with Laura Saavedra-Lux and Samira Diebire. We are experiencing the most violent period since the end of the Cold War. Yet, only a few conflicts grab our attention. We reflect on the consequences of ignoring these ongoing conflicts:

A sign of a strong democracy is that conflict can exist and does lead to neither physical violence nor a collapse of the entire political system. In Aoteroa/New Zealand about 30000 to 45000 Maori marched against a draft bill undermining Maori rights
