Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays (UHECRs) are particles with energies up to $3times 10^20 eV$, originating from unknown sources and producing extensive air showers in Earth's atmosphere. In this talk, I will review the current status of UHECR observations, including the energy spectrum, mass composition, and anisotropy in their arrival directions. I will highlight how the knowledge of the Galactic Magnetic Field (GMF) of the Milky Way is crucial for identifying UHECR sources. Additionally, I will review recent models of the GMF. Finally, I will discuss the propagation of UHECRs from their sources through both intergalactic and galactic magnetic fields, and I will explore the prospects for future source identification.

In an episode originally released by The German Marshall Fund's China Global Podcast with Bonnie Glaser, managing director of GMF's Indo-Pacific program, co-host Ray Powell was interviewed about recent developments in the Yellow Sea and China's broader gray zone tactics in the maritime realm.---This episode of the China Global podcast discusses evolving disputes between China and South Korea, specifically regarding their unresolved maritime boundary in the Yellow Sea. There is a long history of fishing disputes between the two countries in the Provisional Measures Zone (or PMZ) of the Yellow Sea, which is where their exclusive economic zones overlap. Although China and South Korea have engaged in negotiations over the years, they have yet to come to an agreement on their boundaries in the Yellow Sea.Taking advantage of the persisting disagreement on delimitation of maritime borders, China has employed gray zone tactics in the Yellow Sea to expand its territorial presence in the region. In the most recent dispute, China installed a new steel structure in the PMZ, causing a maritime standoff between Chinese and Korean coast guards.To discuss recent developments in the Yellow Sea and China's broader gray zone tactics in the maritime realm, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Ray Powell, the Director of SeaLight, a maritime transparency project at Stanford University's Gordian Knot Center for National Security Innovation. Ray is also the co-host of the Why Should We Care About the Indo-Pacific podcast, and a 35-year veteran of the US Air Force.

En mars 2025, un comité intraprofessionnel en pharmacie, formé sous l'égide de l'A.P.E.S., a publié le document Recommandations sur le parcours de soins pharmaceutiques des patients. On y retrouve notamment des défis auxquels font face les patients et les équipes de pharmacie lors des transitions de soins. De plus, une série de douze recommandations visant à optimiser la continuité des soins entre l'établissement de santé, le GMF et la pharmacie communautaire y est également présentée. Afin d'en discuter, Nathalie Marceau, animatrice de Trait pharmacien et rédactrice principale du document, passe de l'autre côté du microphone et devient l'invitée le temps de cet épisode.

As China's military capabilities expand, US-China frictions intensify, and regional tensions increase, concern is on the rise that a potential crisis, either accidental or deliberate, could take place that could spiral out of control. If a crisis arises with China, leaders may want to de-escalate and prevent a wider conflict. To do so, they will need to understand how China thinks about crisis management and escalation.The guest for this episode has dug into the writings of PLA strategists and authoritative PRC sources as well as Western scholarship to assess how China views military escalation and how the US and other countries can accurately predict and interpret PRC signal in crisis scenarios.Lyle Morris is a Senior Fellow on Foreign Policy and National Security at the Center for China Analysis at the Asia Society Policy Institute.

Nuclear weapons have changed the nature of modern warfare and exerted a profound impact on international politics. The Cold War logic of nuclear deterrence maintains that nuclear-armed states will not attack one another because of fear of massive retaliation, or mutually assured destruction. By this logic, nuclear weapons promote stability and can prevent war.At the same time, however, nuclear weapons created a new dilemma. That is: “How can a state achieve its political objectives through military force without triggering a catastrophic nuclear exchange?”This is a dilemma faced by all countries, especially nuclear powers. States have responded differently to this dilemma. What is China's answer to this strategic dilemma? What has Beijing been doing to gain strategic leverage? How should we evaluate the success of China's approach so far?These issues are the subject of a new book titled Under the Nuclear Shadow: China's Information Age Weapons in International Security.

The Global South is a term that covers a broad swath of developing countries and emerging economies in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Oceania. It is a grouping of over 130 heterogenous countries that is pushing to enhance its voice in global decision making. China, which self-identifies as a leader of the developing world, has a long history of engaging with the developing world. Under Xi Jinping, Beijing has deepened its ties with Global South countries through economic investment, diplomatic engagement, and security cooperation.  Meanwhile, developed countries from the wealthier and more industrialized Global North are stepping up efforts to counter Chinese influence and win support from Global South countries.  What are China's interests in the Global South?  What are the key strategies and tactics that Beijing utilizes to influence and engage with those countries? How have countries in the Global South responded to China's influence?  And how will intensified Sino-American rivalry impact developing countries in the future? To discuss these issues, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Mr. Masaaki Yatsuzuka, Senior Research Fellow at the China Division of the Regional Studies Department at the National Institute for Defense Studies in Japan (NIDS).  He is the co-author of the recently published report titled “The Rising Global South and China.”  Timestamps[00:00] Start[01:55] Resurgent Interest in the Global South [04:28] Engaging Developing Countries[06:51] Economic Tools and Mechanisms to Exert Influence[08:55] Motivation for Expanding Military Presence [12:33] Perceptions of China in the Global South [15:07] Why does China's involvement in the Global South matter? [17:39] US-China Competition Impacting the Global South[19:00] India, Brazil, and Other Rising Powers[20:35] Tokyo's Concerns Over China's Influence [22:41] Response to Increased Attention Paid to Developing Countries[24:37] China's Reaction to the Trump Administration

When this episode goes live four days from now, Donald Trump will have been sworn in as the 47th president of the United States, after having served as the 45th president from 2017 to 2021.Many countries around the world are closely watching to identify changes in US policy and assess their impact. China is one of those countries. As presidential candidate Donald Trump threatened to impose 60% tariffs on Chinese goods imported into the United States. He also proposed revoking China's Most Favored Nation trading status and banning China from buying US farmland. He pledged to curtail Chinese espionage and theft of intellectual property. On some occasions Trump praised Chinese leader Xi Jinping, and predicted that they would get along very well. In the past few months, Trump and Xi have been in communication through their representatives.What approach will Beijing take toward Trump's presidency this time around? Is China in a stronger or weaker position than it was in during Trump's first term? What is the likely trajectory of US-China relations in the coming four years?To discuss these questions, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Dr. Evan Medeiros, who is the Penner Family Chair in Asia Studies in the School of Foreign Service and the Cling Family Distinguished Fellow in US-China Studies at Georgetown University.

Năm 2024 vừa khép lại trong một thế giới hỗn loạn. Năm 2025 sẽ mở đầu với sự trở lại ngoạn mục của tổng thống đắc cử Mỹ Donald Trump. Một khi chính thức nhậm chức vào ngày 20/01/2025, ông sẽ phải đưa ra các lựa chọn để thực hiện. Đứng đầu danh sách là mối quan hệ địa chính trị căng thẳng giữa Hoa Kỳ với Nga và Trung Quốc. Đối với Nga, câu hỏi đầu tiên đặt ra là Washington sẽ có mối quan hệ như thế nào với Matxcơva và Vladimir Putin ? Lập trường của Mỹ về Ukraina cũng sẽ bắt đầu từ đây. Trang mạng Responsible Statecraft gần đây có bài nhận định cho rằng thất bại ở Ukraina xuất phát từ tình trạng thiếu đoàn kết ở phương Tây, khi mà Hoa Kỳ, Anh, và Liên Hiệp Châu Âu có những xung đột về lợi ích trong nhiều vấn đề chính như lệnh trừng phạt, mục tiêu chiến tranh, hỗ trợ tài chính và quân sự…« Không thể đạt được thỏa thuận nếu không nói chuyện với Putin »Ngoài ra, một trong những điểm yếu của trong chính sách về Ukraina của chính quyền Biden cũng như của nhiều nhà lãnh đạo châu Âu là thái độ kiên quyết không đối thoại với Vladimir Putin. Trong một bài viết trình bày quan điểm « America First », đặc sứ Mỹ về Ukraina của Trump, tướng Keith Kellogg, đã chỉ ra "sai lầm" của chính quyền Biden, đó là bất kỳ cách tiếp cận nào đối với Nga đều phải bao gồm cả khả năng răn đe và ngoại giao. « Biden đã không quan tâm đến làm việc với Putin. Ông ấy chỉ muốn lên lớp và cô lập ông ta ».Một « Quick Deals », tức nhanh chóng có được thỏa thuận là những gì ông Donald Trump mong muốn và do vậy, Ukraina sẽ là một trong những hồ sơ đầu tiên về đối ngoại mà tổng thống đắc cử Mỹ sẽ phải nhanh chóng quan tâm đến.Tuy nhiên, theo quan sát từ nhà nghiên cứu về Mỹ, Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer, chủ tịch nhóm cố vấn German Marshall Fund (GMF), những tuần gần đây, chính quyền Trump dường như đang điều chỉnh lại chiến lược. Xu hướng chủ đạo hiện nay là « Hãy cẩn trọng, chớ nên ký kết một thỏa thuận tồi với Putin ». Trên đài France Culture, nữ chuyên gia địa chính trị tại GMF giải thích :« Bởi vì trước hết, Trump sẽ trông như một kẻ thua cuộc. Chúng ta đều biết rõ là ông ấy rất quan tâm đến hình ảnh "người chiến thắng". Điểm thứ hai liên quan đến cảm nhận của Trung Quốc về thỏa thuận này với ông Putin. Cuối cùng, theo tôi, đây cũng là lập luận mạnh mẽ nhất mà châu Âu tác động rất nhiều kể từ khi ông Trump tái đắc cử, đó là "hãy cẩn trọng, chớ để Ukraina trở thành một Afghanistan của Donald Trump". Bởi vì đó cũng là di sản để lại từ cuộc rút quân hỗn loạn mà chính quyền Biden thực hiện năm 2020, nhưng được quyết định bởi Donald Trump. »Vai trò nào cho Trung Quốc ?Câu hỏi đặt ra ở đây là Trung Quốc sẵn sàng đi đến đâu để hậu thuẫn đối tác Nga « vô bờ bến ». Chủ tịch Tập Cận Bình tỏ ra ít phản đối công khai đối với cuộc chiến của ông Putin tại Ukraina, ngược lại, Trung Quốc cung cấp công nghệ quân sự và một sự hậu thuẫn cần thiết cho Nga.Ý thức rõ vấn đề này, sau cuộc họp ba bên tại Paris giữa tổng thống đắc cử Mỹ Donald Trump, tổng thống Pháp Emmanuel Macron và nguyên thủ Ukraina Volodymyr Zelensky nhân lễ mở cửa trở lại Nhà thờ Đức Bà sau 5 năm trùng tu, ông Donald Trump đã tweet rằng « China can help » - Trung Quốc có thể giúp đạt được một thỏa thuận với Ukraina.Chuyên gia về Mỹ Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer ghi nhận ngày càng có sự liên hệ giữa các mặt trận châu Âu – Đại Tây Dương, Trung Đông và Ấn Độ - Thái Bình Dương trong cách tiếp cận của Donald Trump nhằm tạo áp lực với nguyên thủ Nga.Do vậy, bà cho rằng, « sẽ chẳng có gì đáng ngạc nhiên nếu trên đường đến Matxcơva hay trên đường trở về từ Matxcơva, ông Trump sẽ dừng lại ở Bắc Kinh và đề nghị Tập Cận Bình gây áp lực lên Vladimir Putin. Bởi vì chúng ta biết rằng, ông Putin ngày nay sẽ không thể tiếp tục nỗ lực chiến tranh nếu không có sự hỗ trợ từ Trung Quốc. Trên thực tế, việc để Trung Quốc đóng một vai trò, không phải là trung gian hòa giải, mà là trong mọi trường hợp để tạo áp lực trong cuộc đàm phán trên nền tảng một thỏa thuận về Ukraina. »Cũng theo nhà nghiên cứu về Mỹ, cách tiếp cận này được thấy rõ qua những gì diễn ra tại Syria : « Phản ứng của Donald Trump khi nhà độc tài Bachar Al-Assad bị các lực lượng Hồi giáo nổi dậy lật đổ là: "Vladimir Putin, hãy cẩn thận, chẳng phải ông đang hứng chịu thảm họa tệ hại nhất tại Syria, thất bại địa chính trị lớn nhất trong chính sách đối ngoại của ông hay sao ? Và có lẽ đã đến lúc ông nên ngồi vào bàn đàm phán về Ukraina." »Kịch bản khả năng leo thang xung đột ?Nhưng Donald Trump cũng có thể sẽ đối mặt với một Vladimir Putin cứng rắn. Tổng thống Nga tuy nhiều lần nói ông sẵn sàng hợp tác với đồng nhiệm Trump và với nhiều nhà lãnh đạo khác của thế giới để giải quyết khủng hoảng Ukraina, nhưng ông cũng tỏ ra không mấy quan tâm đến các cuộc đàm phán nghiêm túc, theo ghi nhận từ một số nhà quan sát.Tuy nhiên, theo nhà nghiên cứu Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer, trên đài phát thanh France Culture, châu Âu dường như đã đánh giá thấp và bỏ qua một kịch bản :« Đây là một kịch bản rất có thể xảy ra, tức là ông sẽ phải đối mặt với một Putin nói với ông rằng, "Donald, cảm ơn rất nhiều vì thỏa thuận của ông, nhưng quả thực, tôi thực sự không quan tâm lắm đến điều này, bởi vì tôi đang giành chiến thắng. Tôi có Bắc Triều Tiên bên cạnh tôi và do vậy, đây chưa phải lúc."Đối diện với sự từ chối của ông Putin, phản ứng của Donald Trump là sẽ không phải là rút khỏi Ukraina mà ngược lại sẽ là leo thang quân sự. Họ đang thảo luận về khả tăng cường hỗ trợ cho Ukraina, gia tăng trừng phạt nhắm vào Vladimir Putin và nước Nga, để một lần nữa buộc ông ấy vào bàn đàm phán ».Trong tất cả những kịch bản này, thách thức lớn đặt ra cho châu Âu là làm thế nào bảo đảm có được một vị trí trong các cuộc đàm phán. Đây chính là những gì Ba Lan sẽ nỗ lực thực hiện trong vai trò chủ tịch luân phiên Liên Hiệp Châu Âu hiện nay.Chính sách « thầu khoán » xử lý khủng hoảngNgoài ra, nếu có đạt được thỏa thuận thì đó chỉ là một sự đóng băng xung đột, tức là một vùng đệm phi quân sự giữa Nga và Ukraina sẽ được thiết lập dọc theo chiến tuyến. Vùng Donbass và bán đảo Crimée sẽ được cho là thuộc sở hữu của Nga, kèm theo đó là Ukraina phải từ bỏ tham vọng gia nhập NATO ít nhất trong một thời hạn là 20 năm. Đây chính là những gì đang được hình thành trong kế hoạch của Trump. Đổi lại, Mỹ sẽ tiếp tục hỗ trợ quân sự cho Ukraina để ngăn chặn Nga mở một cuộc xung đột mới.Trong kịch bản này, châu Âu sẽ phải làm gì ? Nữ chuyên gia về chính sách đối ngoại Mỹ Alexandra de Hoop Scheffer trên làn sóng France Culture đưa ra cảnh báo :« Hoa Kỳ dưới thời Trump đã rất rõ ràng : Họ sẽ không triển khai quân để giúp giám sát đường chiến tuyến. Trách nhiệm này sẽ thuộc về châu Âu và chúng ta cần phải tự lo lấy. Đây là một trong số các mục tiêu của Ủy Ban Châu Âu mới của bà Von Der Leyen: tăng cường, tăng cường, tăng cường nhiều hơn nữa các danh mục đầu tư quốc phòng, nhưng với một mốc thời gian sẽ dài hơn rất nhiều so với những gì chúng ta sẽ cần trong tức thì.Nhưng chúng ta cũng thấy là trong lập luận của Trump không còn trong những cuộc tranh luận nhàm chán về "burden sharing" tức là chia sẻ gánh nặng, mà đúng hơn là "burden shifting", nghĩa là chuyển giao gánh nặng. Ông ấy muốn giao khoán trách nhiệm xử lý khủng hoảng. Ngoại giao khủng hoảng với đủ các đối tác. Và do vậy châu Âu sẽ phải giải quyết mớ hỗn độn thời kỳ hậu thỏa thuận tại Ukraina. Với Trung Đông cũng tương tự. Donald Trump muốn giao khoán cho các nước vùng Vịnh, cho Ả Rập Xê Út, Qatar: "Đây là mớ hỗn độn của quý vị, quý vị hãy xử lý lấy". Đây là một chính sách khoán thầu, bởi vì, một lần nữa, những người bỏ phiếu cho Trump đều không muốn nhìn thấy nước Mỹ sẽ lại can dự vào  những cuộc chiến với những kết quả không chắc chắn. »

All over Europe and in the corridors of Nato policy makers are discussing the implications for the continent of the Trump victory in the American presidential election. For 70 years the alliance with the USA has been the foundation stone of European defence. During his last term in office, it was reported that Trump wanted to take the US out of Nato. That didn't happen but he made clear his discontent at the lack of defence spending among member states. Can that alliance can be maintained, if so on what terms and if not, what then?

China is the world's largest energy consumer and carbon emitter, accounting for one-third of global CO2 emissions. One of its biggest sources of emissions is coal, which plays a central role in China's economy. At the same time, however, China is the world's leading supplier of renewable energy, largely due to significant government investments in green technologies, including solar manufacturing, batteries, and minerals. In September 2020, China's leader Xi Jinping announced the goal of achieving peak CO2 emissions before 2030 and carbon neutrality before 2060.” This ambitious pledge, if realized, will be an important step in global efforts to limit global warming.In the past few years, the increasingly competitive and fraught relationship between the United States and China has spilled into the climate domain, threatening the potential for both countries to work together to address climate change. That is the topic of a recent commentary co-authored by Margaret Pearson and Michael Davidson. The paper is titled, “Where are the US and China on addressing climate change?”, and it can be found on the Brookings Institution website. In this episode of China Global, host Bonnie Glaser speaks with one of the authors, Michael Davidson, who is an assistant professor at the School of Global Policy and Strategy and the Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering Department of the Jacobs School of Engineering at the University of California San Diego. Timestamps[01:57] China's Approach to Addressing Climate Change[04:26] Considerations Behind China's Climate Policy [07:37] Doubling Down on Coal Domestically[10:34] Evaluating China's Progress Toward Carbon Neutrality[14:42] Security and China's Climate Change Policy[19:13] China's International Climate Cooperation[22:45] US-China Working Group on Enhancing Climate Action [30:27] The Green Belt and Road Initiative

Once a year, an industry alliance of first-movers and green investors gather in a room for shipping's answer to Davos, the annual Global Maritime Forum. And it's always an interesting conversation. These are shipping's optimists. The progressive cohort of industry leaders who have collectively invested billions of dollars in decarbonisation projects and spawned voluntary projects advancing everything from transparent green finance and insurance to diversity programmes and climate-aligned chartering. But it's not easy being an optimist in shipping right now. There are the obvious geopolitical headwinds blowing in of course, but there is also a growing sense that the industry in wait and see mode. Shipping's green first-movers are increasingly unlikely to move further without a sufficiently robust regulatory framework from the International Maritime Organization next year. Scratch below the surface of the conversations about progress and innovation, and it's apparent that we're not yet at a stage where, even without the regulation, the industry is yet aligned on who ends up footing the bill for what is going to be a very expensive transition to green fuels and even basic efficiency investments. And yet, despite all that, when the GMF gathered in Tokyo earlier this month there was a palpable sense of optimism in the room and genuine evidence that progress is not just possible, it is now inevitable. So, has the shipping industry really moved from laggard to leader in the race to decarbonise?

Most observers of China's relations with the world maintain that China's foreign policy started becoming more assertive beginning in the 2010s. The label “wolf warrior diplomacy” was coined by Western media to describe the aggressive language used by Chinese diplomats. The term “wolf warrior” comes from the title of the Chinese action film Wolf Warrior 2 and describes a more combative approach used by many Chinese diplomats, especially in social media and in interviews.Explanations for China's increased diplomatic assertiveness vary, ranging from rising military and economic might to the personal leadership style of General Secretary Xi Jinping. A recently published book titled “China's Rising Foreign Ministry,” investigates the role of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in shaping and implementing Chinese foreign policy. In the words of a Southeast Asian diplomat who was interviewed by the book's author, “China has a bigger international influence in the last five years—and it is the PRC foreign ministry that is pushing and driving it" (114).Host Bonnie Glaser is joined by the book's author Dylan Loh Ming Hui, Assistant Professor of Public Policy and Global Affairs at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

At the conclusion of the meeting, they issued a joint declaration that includes six priority areas of cooperation, ranging from sustainable development to economic collaboration and trade. What were Beijing's interests and motivations in reviving this trilateral mechanism?To discuss China's participation in the trilateral summit, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Yun Sun, a Senior Fellow and Co-director of the East Asia program and Director of the China program at the Stimson Center in Washington. Timestamps[01:18] Reestablishing the Trilateral Leadership Mechanism[06:14] Outcomes and Deliverables of the Trilateral Summit[10:37] 2019 Chengdu Denuclearization Agreement[13:38] China's Import Ban on Japanese Seafood[18:07] China on US-Japan-ROK Trilateral Cooperation[23:58] Warming Russian-North Korean Relations[29:30] Would Xi Jinping express his concerns with Vladimir Putin?

As the status quo in the Taiwan Strait is increasingly unstable, what can we expect from Taiwan's new president Lai Ching-te when it comes to navigating relations with China? How will the results of the EU elections affect Europe's policies vis-à-vis Taiwan? And how might a change of government in the United States impact the situation? These are some of the questions discussed by Bonnie Glaser, Managing Director of GMF's Indo-Pacific program, and MERICS' Director Policy & European Affairs Abigaël Vasselier in this conversation with Claudia Wessling, Director of Communications and Publications at MERICS.

Mercredi dernier j'étais à la cérémonie du prix littéraire Europe 1 - GMF et les livres primés m'ont tellement plu que j'avais très envie de leur consacrer un épisode. Des auteur.ice.s qui s'engagent pour le collectif, l'humain, la solidarité, on en a bien besoin ! Bonne écoute à vous !

Don't be fooled by the clickbait title, everything in the Boy's BMX world is just fine. They just wish it was 1984 still and QANTAS still sponsored the Aussie champs. Clips weren't even a twinkle in Darryn Hill's eyes, and the meat wagon didn't cart off corpses after every crash. Been a long gap between episodes, so lots to catch up on and of course the 4 World Cup rounds. The old guy only mentions his 600mm a couple of times and puts his hand out for funding for a Rock Hill trip. #GFM or is that #GMF for you hippies?This might be the only podcast for 2024, who knows? If you don't perform, you get dropped from the program pretty quick. 

On a previous episode of the China Global Podcast, we discussed Beijing's position on the conflict in Gaza during the early days following Hamas' attacks on Israel on October 7, 2023. Today, we discuss one of the conflict's spillover effects– the attacks on cargo and trade ships transiting the Red Sea by the Houthis, an Iranian-backed Shia group governing parts of Yemen. While the Chinese-brokered rapprochement between Saudi Arabia and Iran was as the beginning of a “wave of reconciliation” in the region by China's foreign minister Wang Yi, the resurgence of violence since October 7th has proven that prediction to be overly optimistic. At face value, disruptions of global trade may seem to run counter to Chinese interests, but Beijing's hesitance to become more deeply involved in the crisis may tell us something about China's calculations in this crisis. It may also show the limits of Chinese influence in the region. Host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Ahmed Aboudouh. Ahmed is an associate fellow with the Middle East and North Africa Program at Chatham House, a nonresident fellow with the Atlantic Council, and heads the China Studies research unit at the Emirates Policy Center. His research focuses on China's rising influence in the Middle East and North Africa region, Gulf geopolitics, and the effects of China-US competition worldwide. Timestamps[01:36] China's Statement on Palestine at the International Court of Justice[08:20] Why is China indirectly supporting Hamas despite its relations with Israel?[12:11] Effectiveness of China's Narrative Critical of America and the West[16:54] Israel, Palestine, and China's Diplomatic Calculus[20:12] China's Hesitance to Counter the Houthis in the Red Sea[25:15] Does China have leverage over Iran, and if so, will they use it?[29:59] Circumstances for Deeper Chinese Involvement

Many books about US-China strategic competition have been published in recent years. This episode will focus on Facing China: The Prospect for War and Peace, which examines various flashpoints in the Indo-Pacific that could result in military conflict.There are several reasons why this book stands out: First, it includes an examination of debates within China about China's national interests; Second, it focuses not only on the challenges of major wars, but also on China's gray-zone strategy of deliberately pursuing its interests in ways that stay below the threshold that would trigger a US military response. And finally, it assesses the applicability of the Thucydides Trap to the US-China relationship. The Thucydides Trap concept was coined by Graham Allison who examined historical cases in which a rising power threatened to displace a ruling power in his book Destined for War: Can America and China Escape Thucydides's Trap? Allison concluded that in the majority of historical cases the outcome was war.This book is especially interesting because it is written by a European expert who has deep knowledge of Taiwan, mainland China, and the United States: Jean-Pierre Cabestan. He is an emeritus senior researcher at the French Center for Scientific Research in Paris and an emeritus professor political science at the Department of Government and International Studies at Hone Kong Baptist University, and a visiting senior fellow at GMF.  Timestamps[02:07] Revisiting the Thucydides Trap [03:53] Why was China fascinated by this concept? [05:26] Reasons for the Risk of War Increasing[06:33] The US-China Cold War and its Characteristics[09:03] China's Gray-Zone Activities [10:53] Where has China's gray-zone strategy been the most successful? [12:37] Unifying Taiwan with China through Gray-Zone Activities[14:42] Chinese Use of Force in the Taiwan Strait in the 2020s[16:17] China's Ambitions in the International Arena[17:40] Future Overseas Operations of the PLA  

This podcast episode is a joint and cross-over episode between the CSIS ChinaPower Podcast and the German Marshall Fund's China Global Podcast. We are joined by Bonnie Glaser, Jessica Chen Weiss, and Thomas Christensen to discuss their recently released article titled “Taiwan and the True Sources of Deterrence.” The authors underline the article's key point, that assurances, alongside threats, are an integral part of effective deterrence. They emphasize that in order for deterrence to work, the threat of punishment must be not only credible but also conditional. Finally, the authors outline what actions each of the three actors- the U.S., China, and Taiwan- should take to effectively convey assurances to one another.Ms. Bonnie Glaser is the managing director of the German Marshall Fund's Indo-Pacific program. She is also a nonresident fellow with the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia, and a senior associate with the Pacific Forum. She was previously senior adviser for Asia and the director of the China Power Project at CSIS.

Disinformation and culture wars are an existential problem for democracies. They foster negative feedback loops: whereby internal divisions inside democracies make us more vulnerable to hostile external actors spewing misinformation, who then exploit those divisions to create more vulnerability to misinformation, culminating in culture wars. These kind of negative feedback loops are another symptom of our era of Global Enduring Disorder.   In this week's episode, Alex and Jason are joined by Laura Thornton, Senior Vice President for democracy at GMF. They discuss how social media algorithms promote disinformation, culture wars, and a rise in contempt for experts. In the Ordering the Disorder section, they'll talk about the fight for neutral facts and how we could rethink our electoral systems to strengthen our democracies in the UK and US.   Twitter: @DisorderShow   Website: https://natoandtheglobalenduringdisorder.com/unregulated-cyberspace   Producer: George McDonagh Exec Producer: Neil Fearn     Show Notes Links    Read Brian Klaas' article on Trump and Mark Milley here   For more on Laura Thornton's work visit here Learn more about your ad choices.

Early next month, the European Union and China are set to hold the 24th bilateral summit. The last EU-China summit was held via video conference in April 2022. It took place against the background of China's countermeasures to EU sanctions on human rights, Chinese economic coercion and trade measures against the single market, and most importantly, Russia's military aggression against Ukraine and Beijing's unwillingness to condemn the invasion. Earlier this year, the European Council reaffirmed the EU's multifaceted policy approach towards China, which is based on the judgment that China is simultaneously a partner, a competitor, and a systemic rival. However, that balancing act is getting more and more difficult.Host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Mr. Gunnar Wiegand, who has recently retired from the post of Managing Director for Asia and the Pacific at the European External Action Service, which he held for 7 ½ years. He is now a visiting professor at the College of Europe and the Paris School of International Affairs, and as of November 1, 2023, he has joined GMF's Indo-Pacific program as a visiting distinguished fellow.  Timestamps[01:39] EU-China Relations on the Eve of the 24th Bilateral Summit[05:13] Impact of the War in Ukraine on EU-China Relations[07:29] How could China alleviate concerns in Europe? [09:33] De-risking in the European Union[15:27] Proportionate and Precise Economic Security[18:27] How similar are EU and US perceptions of China?[22:13] The EU's Stance on Taiwan[26:19] How can EU contribute to peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait?[27:21] Outcomes of the Biden-Xi Summit

The zero emission capable ships may be coming, but they are not coming quickly enough. But even if we squint and avoid the question of how environmentally friendly a theoretically environmentally friendly ship really is, the ships aren't really the biggest problem right now. It's the lack of zero carbon fuels coming down the pipeline that's keeping most industry executives awake at night. The scale of the challenge to produce green fuels is being vastly underestimated and all the imagined green corridors in the world are not going to scale up demand at a pace that is needed. For shipping to progress towards the next phase of this fuel transition, and in order for it to be in line with the ambitions set out at MEPC 80, there needs to be a fundamental shift in terms of policy, investment, public private partnerships and let's face it, a leap of faith by investors on all sides. The Lloyd's List Podcast comes from Athens this week, specifically from inside the Global Maritime Forum. And this edition focusses specifically on a few of the key conversations about progress towards shipping's zero carbon future. The theme of this year's GMF was moving from ambition to action - and that's important because we're at the point now where we are in danger of stalling and we need to see those pilot projects and agreements in principle start to scale into something more tangible. Speaking on today's podcast you will hear: • Jan Dieleman is the President of Cargill Ocean Transportation, Chair of the Global Maritime Forum • Michael Parker, Citi global shipping, logistics and offshore chairman and chair of the Poseidon Principles • Katharine Palmer. Shipping Lead at the UN Climate Champions team Dr Tristan Smith, Associate Professor in Energy and Transport at UCL and Director of consultancy UMAS

Ahoy! With Christiana at the helm this week we're raising our anchor and charting a course into the fascinating and complex world of greening shipping. The shipping industry can feel removed from our daily lives. With images of huge cargo ships criss-crossing the oceans, distant foreign ports and international regulatory bodies with unfamiliar acronyms like the IMO or the GMF, you might even ask yourself: why should I care? We'll hear how 90% of what we consume, wear and use in our homes comes to us via a ship.  And how the predominant use of dirty fossil fuels means that the shipping industry currently contributes around 3% of the world's global CO2 - that's the same as the whole of Germany or Japan's emissions. But not any more! Christiana and her crew of shipping experts take you on a journey to explore how the shipping industry is at the forefront of an exciting transition to Net Zero, and will explain how greening the maritime sector could help us address the climate emergency. Christiana has been a long and passionate advocate for reform in the shipping industry. With the help of guests such as AP Moller-Maersk's Senior Vice President, Morten Christiansen; Alejandra Teran from Costa Rica's Sailcargo; Eric Leveridge, Campaign Lead at Ship it Zero; Ambassador Albon Ishoda, Royal Marshall Islands Presidential Special Envoy for Maritime Decarbonisation, Dr Lucy Gilliam, Seas at Risk, Bo Cerup-Simonsen, CEO, MaerskMcKinney Moller Centre, Cleo Bierneza, Third Officer at Swire Shipping and many more, this deep dive episode will hope to leave no doubt in our listeners' minds as to why shipping's path to Net Zero is integral to our current and future life on the planet. How these ships are fuelled now and in the future, why the recent International Maritime Organisation decision was history in the making, how the people working on these ships are treated to ensure a just transition as well as the role that we, the consumers, can play, are all questions that Christiana and her guests tackle during this special episode.   Do let us know what you think!   NOTES AND RESOURCES   GUESTS   Alejandra Terán, Chief Purpose Marketing Officer at Sailcargo LinkedIn | Facebook | Instagram   Ambassador Albon Ishoda, Royal Marshall Islands Presidential Special Envoy for Maritime Decarbonisation Twitter | LinkedIn    Bo Cerup-Simonsen, Chief Executive Officer of Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping LinkedIn | LinkedIn for Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping   Christine Loh, Chief Development Strategist, Institute for the Environment at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology LinkedIn   Cleo Bierneza, Third Officer at Swire Shipping LinkedIn    Eric Leveridge, Campaign Lead at Ship It Zero   Ingrid Irigoyen, Associate Director, Ocean and Climate, Aspen Institute Energy and Environment Program & President and CEO, Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance Twitter | LinkedIn    Dr Lucy Gilliam, Senior Shipping Policy Officer at Seas at Risk Twitter | LinkedIn  Seas At Risk Twitter | Instagram | LinkedIn    Morten Bo Christiansen, Senior Vice President, Head of Energy Transition at A.P.

How can storytelling and meaningful relationships drive positive change in communities? Jeremy Podolski, director of public relations and editorial strategy for the Greater Milwaukee Foundation (GMF), explores communicating for the greater good and how building relationships and pursuing equity are woven into this.Tune in to this powerful episode as Podolski shares best practices for telling stories and listening to stories, as well as how GMF and Milwaukee's Ex Fabula give him an incredible platform to do both. Episode Highlights:05:22 - There's no formula and that's a good thing. I don't know that any one person is an expert on how to build a relationship. I would say that my approach is to just really try to personalize the interactions that I have. Thinking about every opportunity we have to come in contact with someone new or to reconnect with someone that we already know to some degree, being really intentional about making sure that it's not a transactional interaction, but that there's meaning behind it. 09:57 - It's really hard to understate the importance of equity. It really reflects the values that someone holds, and also just the aspirations for our community and the potential that's there. There's really so much to gain from our community advancing equity, racial equity, economic equity, or social equity.17:48 - We're drawn as listeners to things that tug at us emotionally or that we might hear that triggers a memory for us, or speaks to something that we have an interest. So, as a communicator, do your best to try to predict what those things are, and try to give people something that they feel inspired to listen to or read or dig into in some way.Connect with Becky Dubin JenkinsLinkedInConnect with Jeremy PodolskiLinkedIn

Technology is the focus of the intensifying competition between the United States and China, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is at the core. China views AI as a means to gain a strategic advantage over the United States and its allies. It intends to use AI to build a world-class military. Beijing also views AI as an enabler of surveillance and repression that can help to bolster its illiberal model of governance. China's national AI strategy calls for a vast expansion of AI in manufacturing, governance, and national defense, with China becoming a global leader in the field by 2030 through multiple AI technology innovations and personnel training centers. To discuss this topic, host Bonnie Glaser is joined by Gregory Allen, director of the Wadhwani Center for AI and Advanced Technologies at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS). Before joining CSIS, he was the director of strategy and policy at the Department of Defense (DOD) Joint Artificial Intelligence Center, where he oversaw development and implementation of the DOD's AI Strategy, drove policy and human capital reforms to accelerate the DOD's adoption of AI, and developed mechanisms for AI governance and ethics. Timestamps[01 :37] Centrality of AI in US-China Competition[04 :21] China's Strengths and Weaknesses[06 :20] Progress in the Field of AI[09 :54] Reducing the Risk of Military AI Accidents[13 :37] Discussing AI with the Chinese Government[16 :11] Biden Administration's Export Controls on AI[21 :31] Reducing Dependency on the West[24 :15] Collaborating on AI Regulation[27 :25] Who will spearhead the next Technological Revolution?

Although a record turnout is expected on Nov. 8th, opinion surveys show many Americans no longer trust U.S. elections nor their government. Many Republican voters still embrace the “Big Lie” that President Trump had the 2020 election stolen from him. So what does the growing mistrust, President Joe Biden's low ratings and the worst inflation in four decades mean for the midterm elections and American democracy in general? In this episode of Transatlantic Takeaway by Common Ground Berlin and the German Marshall Fund of the United States, host Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson explores the controversial elections with: Sudha David-Wilp, GMF's Senior Transatlantic Fellow and deputy director of the Berlin office. Jeremy Shapiro, research director at the European Council on Foreign Relations and a former advisor to the State Department during the Obama administration. Anna Sauerbrey, foreign editor of the weekly Die Zeit and a contributor to the New York Times op-ed section. Produced by Dina Elsayed.

In this “Transatlantic Takeaway” episode, hosts Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson and Rachel Tausendfreund delve into scenarios to end Russian President Vladmir Putin's war on Ukraine and how the conflict is changing the global order. Their guests are: - Michal Baranowski, senior fellow and director of the GMF office in Warsaw. - Gesine Dornblueth, co-author of “Ruhmlose Helden,” a book on a plane crash that changed German-Russian relations. She is a former Moscow correspondent for Deutschlandradio. - Liana Fix, program director for international affairs at the Körber Foundation in Berlin. - Joerg Forbrig, senior fellow and director for Central Eastern Europe at the GMF office in Berlin. This show was produced by Dina Elsayed.

In this first anniversary episode of Transatlantic Takeaway, a Common Ground Berlin and German Marshall Fund of the United States collaboration, hosts Soraya Sarhaddi Nelson and Rachel Tausendfreund talk about the sweeping 10-month-long war Russia is waging in Ukraine and its impact on Europe and the United States with Guido Goldman Distinguished Scholar for Geostrategy at GMF, Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff and Michal Baranowski, Managing Director, GMF East. Is there an end in sight for the war that has killed an estimated 100,000 Ukrainian soldiers, a similar number of Russian soldiers and 40,000 Ukrainian civilians? Produced by Sylvia Cunningham

This spring, Karen Kornbluh and Adrienne Goldstein from the German Marshall Fund's Digital Innovation and Democracy Initiative published a document they call the Civic Information Handbook, which they produced in collaboration with University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life (CITAP). Civic information—“important information needed to participate in democracy—is too often drowned out by viral falsehoods, including conspiracy theories.” The Handbook is intended as a resource to help knowledge-producing organizations in the “amplification of fact-based information.” To learn more about the handbook and the ideas on which it is based, Justin Hendrix spoke to GMF research assistant Adrienne Goldstein, as well as Kathryn Peters, executive director of UNC CITAP.

Event recorded live at IWP, DC, on March 2, 2023. This event is part of the China Lecture Series About the Lecture Throughout Russia's war in Ukraine, Chinese messengers have surprised many Western observers by framing the conflict on Putin's terms, promoting pro-Kremlin narratives, and embracing Russian disinformation campaigns, including falsely suggesting that the United States is funding biological weapons laboratories in Ukraine. Though the Ukrainian war is the starkest example of China and Russia's interest alignment in the information space, China's drift towards Russian narratives—and its adoption of Russia's information manipulation tactics—has been evident since at least 2019, when the Hong Kong protests and the start of the global pandemic inspired a more confrontational Chinese approach to global messaging. Understanding the implications of this alignment, its global reach, and its limitations, is critical in formulating an effective, democratic response.

The open nature of the internet has allowed malicious actors to abuse technology. Information operations, offensive cyber, and IP theft are just some examples of this misuse. The Biden administration has pursued an industrial policy that hopes to counter the weaponization of globalized systems. This approach includes technology subsidies, export controls, and rethinking supply chains. But this approach could undermine efforts to advance global rules and values.To discuss how the United States can push back while bolstering democracy and human rights, Eugenia Lostri, Lawfare's Fellow in Technology Policy and Law, sat down with former Ambassador Karen Kornbluh, Managing Director of the Digital Innovation and Democracy Initiative and Senior Fellow with the German Marshall Fund. Ambassador Kornbluh is the lead author on the new GMF report “The New American Foreign Policy of Technology.” They discussed why there's a need to rethink American foreign policy, how to center democratic values, and the crucial role of a multistakeholder approach.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/lawfare.

Laura Glawe, Vice President of Marketing and Communications for the Greater Milwaukee Foundation, discusses how GMF is working to create lasting change. Through conversations around meals at On the Table events, GMF has prioritized key areas: early childhood education and care, impact investing to small businesses, housing and their internal culture, and a $700 million campaign for the community. Racial equity and inclusion are GMF's North Star. Glawe also stresses the importance of becoming an ally in social impact work and focusing on amplifying collective voice for population-level change. Tune in to learn more about how to be an ally, turn one's passions into one's life's work and contribute to creating meaningful impact. Episode Highlights04:00 - A leadership theme I'd like to lift up around voice and vision is the important connection to becoming an ally in social impact work. Especially as a professional in marketing communications, the word ‘voice' is multifaceted when it comes to change-making work.06:17 - I believe in being connected to something greater than oneself. It's an individual choice though, and contemplating one's purpose may or may not combine personal and professional motivation. It can be an aspiration, but it's certainly not the only way to reach fulfillment in one's life. 15:37 - Combining collective voice and vision is advancing a narrative change. Throughout neighborhoods and with donors and non-profit partners and public officials, we do have opportunity, and some momentum is indicating that transformational racial equity and inclusion is possible and happening. Leadership is a more collective process now.

In this episode of the ChinaPower Podcast, Bonnie Glaser joins us to discuss the recent changes to U.S.-China relations. She first explains how a large Chinese surveillance balloon transited continental United States in early February 2023 with communications surveillance equipment on board, potentially collecting data from sensitive military installations. Ms. Glaser argues that Secretary Blinken's trip to China was postponed due to a combination of domestic and international pressures resulting from the balloon incident. Lastly, she explains that despite potential meetings between U.S and Chinese leadership later this year, U.S.-China relations will likely face difficulties moving forward due to a lack of trust.   Bonnie S. Glaser is managing director of the German Marshall Fund's Indo-Pacific program and the host of the China Global podcast. She is also a nonresident fellow with the Lowy Institute in Sydney, Australia, and a senior associate with the Pacific Forum. She was previously director of GMF's Asia program, and senior adviser for Asia and the director of the China Power Project at CSIS.
