					<description><![CDATA[
										The recent altercation in the South China Sea between Chinese vessels and Philippine ships underscores the urgent need for science diplomacy and cooperation in fisheries management to bring calm to the tense waters, Rodger Baker of the Stratfor Center for Applied Geopolitics at RANE and James Borton of the School of Advanced International Studies at Johns Hopkins University argue. To make their case, they share the results of a survey of scientists, analysts and security professionals in the region and highlight examples of maritime cooperation around the world.]]></description>

										Many in the West accused Qatar of “sportswashing” its human rights record when the Gulf nation put on the men’s football World Cup finals in 2022. Australia and New Zealand, the hosts of the Women’s World Cup, which ends on August 20, have so far escaped similar scrutiny, even though they too have human rights problems. Simon Chadwick of Skema Business School in France, co-founder and co-director of the China Soccer Observatory, considers why.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[
										While the Thai election in May resulted in the pro-democracy coalition led by the Move Forward Party gaining the most seats, the constitutional system and shifting political alliances have allowed the conservative royalist-military forces so far to thwart Move Forward’s charismatic leader from becoming prime minister. This has opened the way for a party of supporters of populist tycoon Thaksin Shinawatra, ousted as Thailand’s leader in a 2006 coup, to make its own bid to secure the prime minister’s office – and for Thaksin himself possibly to return home from exile. Thannapat Jarernpanit of Pibulsongkram Rajabhat University analyzes the fluid situation and its implications for progressive democratic reform.]]></description>

										Expected encounters later this year between US President Joe Biden and Chinese leader Xi Jinping should focus on calming the China-US geo-technological competition and finding common ground on setting road rules for artificial technology and AI-related challenges, writes geo-tech and smart-city expert Chen Xi of Harbor Overseas. The US and China, he argues, should consider how collaborating on technology, particularly in helping the Global South, will yield more benefits than a zero-sum race to decouple.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[
										Canada is unique because it shares the world’s longest land border with the United States and the economies of both countries are so deeply integrated. But for Canada to source new growth over the long term, it must look across the Pacific Ocean to Asia and the fast-growing economies of what has come to be called the Indo-Pacific region. David Abonyi of the Global Enterprise Initiative of the Schulich School of Business at York University and George Abonyi of the Sasin School of Management at Chulalongkorn University assess the economic component of the Canadian Indo-Pacific Strategy launched in November last year and consider Canada’s middle-power role as a catalyst and connector, proposing that Japan, Thailand and Bangladesh could be key regional partners going forward.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[
										Mining the seabed without proper regulations seems outlandish. But it could happen – and soon – with companies eager to get a head start on extraction before authorities impose rules. The High Seas Treaty recently adopted by the United Nations would be powerless to rein in the anticipated rush of deep-sea mining activities. Pradeep Singh of the University of Bremen and Mohd Hazmi Mohd Rusli of the University Sains Islam Malaysia look at what is at stake.]]></description>
