Thought of the Week:
- Although as a global society we have never been more interlinked and interdependent, there is a paradox in how the more globalized our world and systems have become, the more "localized" and self-centered we have become. What we are experiencing is not only a wake-up call to rethink our global institutions and systems but, above all, our ability to think long-term and not just to the next quarterly report.

O Estado de Sao Paulo, May 15, 2011
- The Brazilian Navy will have at least two multi-purpose ships, a new concept of a self-sufficient vessel. Each one of these giants, as big as two football fields and made to project naval power, carries a full intervention force: soldiers, tanks, helicopters, boats, missiles and a hospital, plus a sophisticated intelligence center.

As Somali pirates expand their killing fields across vital sea lanes in the Indian Ocean, India views it as an issue of serious concern that infringes upon national security. Internationally, more resources are required to develop workable solutions to prevent criminals from exploiting the vacuum left by severe civil strife in Somalia

The Chinese authorities pointed to its seven consecutive years of grain harvests and huge grain reserves to comfort those who worry about its food security. Yet, to some, that seems too good to be true.

Center for Naval Analysis, March 1, 2011
- This study employs underexploited Chinese-language law enforcement publications to analyze China’s concerns over the rapid expansion of illegal drug smuggling from the “Golden Crescent” region (Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran) into western China since about 2005. These law enforcement publications present an unusually frank and detailed picture of China’s growing anxieties about drug-trafficking into its heavily Muslim Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region. These writings provide detailed discussion of the evolving air, highway, and rail transport routes employed by traffickers to move drugs across Central Asia’s rugged borderlands with China. Chinese police concede that the increasing sophistication of these international traffickers and failures in their own counternarcotics intelligence work are creating new challenges to their efforts to stanch these flows. Law enforcement specialists also see Golden Crescent drugs as a major threat to society and a key financial support to terrorism, ethnic separatism and extremism.
