Facing escalating attacks from Baloch and Taliban jihadists, Pakistan Army Chief Asim Munir has vowed a harsh response. Founding its responses on discredited colonial-era doctrine, the Pakistan Army thinks it can coerce insurgents into submission. That belief has led to failure though, and will likely do so again.

Four years ago, on Feb. 1 2021, the Burmese military overthrew the fledgling democratic government in the Southeast Asian country of Burma, officially known as Myanmar. That sparked a civil war that continues today–with neither the military junta nor the various rebel groups coming closer to victory. How did the country get here? Veteran Asia journalist Bertil Lintner tackles the country's history since independence, including the military's long involvement in the country's politics, in his book The Golden Land Ablaze: Coups, Insurgents and the State in Myanmar (Hurst: 2024). He joins today to talk about Burma's history, the role of the military, China's involvement in the country, and prospects for the civil war going forward. Bertil Lintner is an acclaimed journalist and expert on contemporary Southeast Asia, especially Myanmar. Formerly the Far Eastern Economic Review's Burma correspondent, he is now a full-time correspondent with the Asia Pacific Media Services and writes regularly for Asia Times, The Irrawaddy and other regional and international websites and publications. Lintner has written 25 books on Asian politics and history, including Outrage: Burma's Struggle for Democracy (Review Publishing: 1989); Great Game East: India, China and the Struggle for Asia's Most Volatile Frontier (Yale University Press: 2015); and The Costliest Pearl: China's Struggle for India's Ocean (Hurst: 2019).

We are living through a world-rattling ecological inflection point, with an unprecedented consensus that capitalism is leading humanity into a social and ecological catastrophe and that everything needs to change, and fast. Thankfully, radical environmental movements have forced the question of “system change” to the centre of the political agenda to make way for a just and livable world. Insurgent Ecologies: Between Environmental Struggles and Postcapitalist Transformations takes readers on an inspiring journey across key sites of ecological crisis and contestation, showing how revolutionary politics can emerge from the convergences between place-based, often disconnected struggles. These engaging essays speak to longstanding debates in political ecology around how to advance transformations in, against and beyond capitalism. The collection starts from the belief that the environmental struggles taking place across the Global South and North are a necessary component of such transformations. The book presents unique stories of the visions and strategies of struggles organized around sovereignty, land, climate, feminisms and labour, written by scholar-activists rooted in territories around the globe, offering locally grounded yet global perspectives. Each story reflects on how to build solidarity and comradeship across diverse struggles and how new political subjects and transformative collective projects for social-ecological justice are created.

As a man with the instincts of an insurgent, Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer's chief of staff, has found Labour's first six months in office a frustrating time, writes The Spectator's editor Michael Gove. ‘Many of his insights – those that made Labour electable – appeared to have been overlooked by the very ministers he propelled into power.' McSweeney is trying to wrench the government away from complacent incumbency: there is a new emphasis on growth, a tougher line on borders, an impatience with establishment excuses for inertia. Will McSweeney win his battle? And what does this mean for figures in Starmer's government, like Richard Hermer and Ed Miliband? Michael joined the podcast alongside Starmer's biographer Tom Baldwin. (1:04) Next: can the AfD be stopped? Lisa Haseldine writes about an earthquake that hit German politics last week; the much feted ‘firewall' – the agreement by mainstream political parties not to work with the far-right – appeared to fall. Freidrich Merz, tipped to be Chancellor after the upcoming German elections, relied upon the Alternative für Deutschland (AfD) for two votes on immigration. Cue protests and denouncements; Merz's most high-profile predecessor as CDU leader, Angela Merkel, even made a rare, political intervention to denounce the decision. Has the vote helped or hindered Merz? And has the German firewall fallen permanently? Lisa joined the podcast alongside Elisabeth Dampier. Elisabeth has interviewed the controversial AfD MEP Maximilian Krah for the magazine and writes about the man who calls himself ‘the German Donald Trump'.

The Times' longest serving obituary writer Damian Arnold once said, ‘The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is check to see who's dead.'

Robert Day joined the U.S. Marine Corps just a few months after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Soon he was being transformed into a Marine at Parris Island, and, less than three years later, he would be part of some of the most intense combat of the Iraq War during the Second Battle of Fallujah in November and December 2004. He served as a machine gunner with the 1st Battlion/8th Marines.In this edition of "Veterans Chronicles," Sgt. Day takes on a quiet first deployment to Iraq, into the much more intense training for the second tour in Iraq, and into the gritty details of the urban combat in Fallujah when his platoon returned to the war.Day explains the tactical approach in Fallujah, what it was like firing at the enemy while being fired upon, his role during the house-to-house combat throughout Fallujah, the mindset needed for a relentlessly intense battle that raged for weeks, and how his platoon dealt with the loss of one of its most beloved members.It's a fascinating, detailed, and candid account of some of the toughest fighting of the Iraq War.

Looking at business news over the past decade (including a few HBR articles), you might assume that just about every traditional company has fallen — or will soon fall — to competitors from the tech industry. But London Business School professor Julian Birkinshaw says that story of disruption and destruction is overblown. His research into Fortune 500 and Global 500 organizations shows that many industries haven't been radically remade, despite the rise of a few tech giants like Amazon and Google. Birkinshaw outlines the strategies that many incumbents, like J.P. Morgan, Disney, and Proctor & Gamble, are using to survive and thrive. He breaks down the benefits and drawbacks of four key strategies that incumbents typically use to compete with insurgents. And he explains how you can decide which strategy best fits your organization.Key episode topics include: strategy, disruptive innovation, digital transformation. HBR On Strategy curates the best case studies and conversations with the world's top business and management experts, to help you unlock new ways of doing business.

This is a common story across the developed world where 'harms' are increasingly being associated with online activity. Digital Age Verification is one potential solution to making the internet more age appropriate. This can include access to social media, pornography, gambling, and purchases of age restricted goods online such as alcohol, tobacco and cannabis. You are right to be concerned that digital ID and legislation like Australia's can lead to a surveillance state. Many and most digital ID systems, whether government managed or corporately managed do enable surveillance. The common phase of "verifying you are who you say you are online" is often accomplished by tying a unique identifier to the individual as recorded in some data base. This unique identifier can be linked to your government ID, driver's license number, social security number, medical number, credit card number, bank card number and so on. Further these can be associated with your online use such as cookies, IP addresses and MAC addresses. We are already in the surveillance state because of what is called the Mosaic Effect: The mosaic effect occurs when ‘disparate items of information… take on added significance when combined with other items of information. I did a quick read of the Australian Digital ID website. It uses a federated ID model using OpenID Connect, which is a wide spread standard. In this model the ID provider, which could be FaceBook, Google, (aka Social Logon) or the national government, provides the ID to the user, and 3rd parties rely on the user to authenticate using that core ID to login to their services. This model enables surveillance by default and the ID Provider technically has the ability to know where the ID is being used. However, these companies or governments may or may not have a policy which says they don't access that data, except under specific circumstances. Murky! Alternatively, there are other forms of digital ID emerging and leveraging open source protocols and software that are "privacy preserving". Among these, there are gradations of the level of privacy being preserved. So the devil is in the details with digital ID. Many are being marketed as digital credentials held in digital wallets on your smart phone. This [REDACTED]. The Guardian had a headline with member of the Australian parliament stating the government cannot compel the social media companies to make users hand over personal ID document. This is tricky, because with some approaches, technically you will not need to show any personal identity document. A concept known as Zero Knowledge Proof uses advanced cryptography to prove a statement such as "I am over the age of 19 or 21" using a digitally signed credential containing your birthdate, but without actually sharing your birthdate of any other data from your government ID. We have the technology today that enables you to prove you are old enough to visit PornHub, while PornHub will only know that it was presented with an ID credential from an acceptable government issuer and that birthdate was sufficiently long ago. Further, the ID issuing government would not know when or where you used this ID credential. The most privacy preserving technologies are often not used because they do not meet certain industry standards such as NIST, for approved cryptographic algorithms. There is currently a long standing battle in the digital ID industry between governments, companies, standards bodies who all are taking different approaches. The type [REDACTED].

When people migrate and settle in other countries, do they automatically form a diaspora? In Insurgent Communities: How Protests Create a Filipino Diaspora (U Chicago Press, 2024), Sharon M. Quinsaat explains the dynamic process through which a diaspora is strategically constructed. Quinsaat looks to Filipinos in the United States and the Netherlands—examining their resistance against the dictatorship of Ferdinand Marcos, their mobilization for migrants' rights, and the construction of a collective memory of the Marcos regime—to argue that diasporas emerge through political activism. Social movements provide an essential space for addressing migrants' diverse experiences and relationships with their homeland and its history. A significant contribution to the interdisciplinary field of migration and social movements studies, Insurgent Communities illuminates how people develop collective identities in times of social upheaval. Michael O. Johnston, Ph.D. is a Assistant Professor of Sociology at William Penn University. He is the author of The Social Construction of a Cultural Spectacle: Floatzilla (Lexington Books, 2023) and Community Media Representations of Place and Identity at Tug Fest: Reconstructing the Mississippi River (Lexington Books, 2022). His general area of study is in the areas of social construction of experience, identity, and place. He is currently conducting research on the relationship between identity and place in the construction of neighborhood development. To learn more about Michael O.

"War Game" had its world premiere at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival, where it received solid reviews for orchestrating a simulation of a coup after a disputed election. Insurgents take capitals, questioning the President's military control. Countering disinformation is vital, highlighting bipartisan defense of democracy. With a sense of urgency in its storytelling and taut filmmaking, the documentary film might very well be the most terrifying one you see all year. Directors Jesse Moss & Tony Gerber were both kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their experience making the documentary, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now playing in New York at the Film Forum and expanding to additional markets, including Los Angeles and Chicago, on August 9th from Submarine Entertainment. Thank you, and enjoy!

Chris Kirchhoff was a founding member of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) and previously worked in the Obama NSC. He recently published a book called Unit X: How the Pentagon and Silicon Valley Are Transforming the Future of War. He wrote: “To the extent present military and civilian leadership is articulating its strategy, it is one built, for the most part, on a continuation of previous programmatic and budgetary trendlines. If there is a strategy for losing a future war in China, this is it.” Unit X traces the evolution of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), a group of Pentagon insurgents who are fighting to change how the DoD relates to emerging technologies. We discuss: The origin story of DIU and its early struggles to break Pentagon bureaucracy; How DIU leveraged “waiver authority” to circumvent red tape under Defense Secretary Ash Carter; Why the defense industrial base is ill-equipped to keep pace with technological change; The case for shifting more DoD spending to non-traditional tech companies; Lessons from commercial spaceflight for future AI governance, including potential issues with a “Manhattan project for AI.” Outtro music: 告五人 Accusefive - 愛人錯過 Somewhere in Time (Youtube Link) Learn more about your ad choices.

Back in 2021, the meme stock frenzy was at its peak: Roaring Kitty AKA Keith Gill, and young day traders gleefully upended financial markets. Roaring Kitty disappeared for a bit before returning just a couple months ago. His disciples that followed him into the markets, however, never left. That's according to Nathaniel Popper in his new book, The Trolls of Wall Street: How the Outcasts and Insurgents are Hacking the Markets. Today on the show, why Nathaniel believes these day traders are here to stay and where they're putting their money now.
