The liberal international order is dying, and its transatlantic backers are grieving. During the first Trump administration, many were in denial, but few are now. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/28/lib…

The liberal international order’s crisis cannot be blamed on Trump’s peculiar brand of nihilistic politics, nor on the hard neoliberal turn that the order took in the 1990s, nor on the rise of revisionist, illiberal powers such as China and Russia. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/28/lib…

A pluralistic, multilateral global order might not quite live up to liberal aspirations, but it would foster transnational cooperation and would be more adaptable, responsive, and resilient. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/28/lib…

By decreasing the chances of catastrophic conflict between major powers and tackling a key set of global challenges, such an order would help maintain a world in which liberal democracy could flourish. ⁦Maleeha Lodhi⁩ reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/28/lib…

Israel is squeezing the West Bank with raids on suspected terrorist hideouts. Those operations have caused approximately 1,000 deaths and displaced tens of thousands more Palestinians. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/28/the…

Along with the expansion of Israeli settlements in the West Bank and numerous Jewish settler depredations there, Palestinians and Arab citizens of Israel have many reasons to be outraged at Israel. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/28/the…

Israel will be creating costly occupations and forever wars that will drain its economy, worsen social divisions, and deepen the country’s international isolation. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/28/the…

The Assad regime in Syria, long a valuable Russian client, collapsed spectacularly. U.S. and Israeli strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities severely weakened Russia’s most important regional ally. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/25/the…

As a result, Russia’s reputation as a patron and guarantor of security in the region lies in tatters. In the new Middle East now taking shape, Moscow is no longer needed. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/25/the…

Russia’s abandonment of partners in the region should be a sobering lesson for Xi Jinping and the Chinese Communist Party: that in times of crisis, Russia will not be a reliable ally. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/25/the…

For the United States, Russia’s declining influence in the Middle East should also prompt further reflection. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/25/the…

For years, policymakers and scholars have debated the strength of the Russian-Chinese bond and whether it made sense to try to drive a wedge between them or encourage their codependence while raising the costs and risks it poses to both countries. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/25/the…

Moscow’s recent setbacks in the Middle East have clarified a basic fact obscured by Chinese and Russian talk of a special relationship. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/25/the…

Russia is a fair-weather friend. In the event of a U.S.-Chinese conflict—for example, a fight over Taiwan—Washington can expect Moscow to remain on the sidelines, just as it did with its partners in the Middle East. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/25/the…

The initial success of Moscow’s Middle East strategy once suggested that Russia could be a valuable geopolitical partner. That it eventually failed so completely should dissuade Trump and others from courting its architect. reader.foreignaffairs.com/2025/07/25/the…

Pakistan's real interest rate of 7.8% represents the highest burden among regional economies, more than double India's 3.4% and over five times China's 1.4%, said EPBD in a statement on Sunday. tribune.com.pk/story/2558367/…
