The Atlantic blue fin tuna risks extinction thanks to overfishing and poor global governance, according ocean expert Alex David Rogers. To add insult to injury, recent proposals to ban all international trade in the fish are being rejected by Japan, the largest consumer. Japan’s decision could...

南亚专家阿什利•J•泰利斯(Ashley J. Tellis)认为,巴基斯坦的恐怖主义煽动政策,仍然是与印度保持和平以及促进阿富汗稳定的主要拦路虎。自建国以来,巴基斯坦的策略便是在印度国内煽动叛乱,但总是失败居多。然而,上世纪80年代圣战者们(jihadis)在阿富汗成功抵御了强大的前苏联军队,让伊斯兰堡萌生了在整个印度雇佣恐怖分子的念头。巴基斯坦三军情报局(Inter-Services Intelligence)是巴基斯坦的间谍机构。这柄大伞下有着众多机构,其中名叫虔诚军(Lashkar-e-Taiba,LeT)的恐怖组织是最成功的:它是2008年孟买袭击的幕后策划者。在巴基斯坦的注视下,...

Pakistan’s policy of fomenting terrorism remains a major roadblock to peace with India and stability in Afghanistan, according to South Asia expert Ashley J. Tellis. Since its formation, Pakistan has employed a strategy of inciting insurrection in India. But that has failed many times over. However...

As the US and NATO forces prepare for their gradual withdrawal from Afghanistan, a struggle for influence by Afghanistan’s neighbors has been intensifying and its impact may be felt in an increased terrorist threat from Pakistan-backed groups. In the first of a two-part series on the Afghanistan...

当美国与北大西洋公约组织(NATO)正准备渐渐撤出阿富汗战场的时候,阿富汗各邻国对该地区影响力的争夺却越来越激烈。从那些由巴基斯坦政府支持的团体所不断发出的恐怖威胁中,人们或许就能够感受到这股碰撞的力量。我们将分两部分来研究当下阿富汗战争的收局情况。在上篇中,作家阿哈玛•拉希德(Ahmed Rashid)分析了巴基斯坦应对东西两邻国的双管策略。由于阿富汗已经成为印度与巴基斯坦的代理战场,所以巴基斯坦就竭力争取在阿富汗问题的各个处置决定中获得更大的话语权;另一方面,它还放任各类组织在阿富汗和克什米尔(Kashmir)地区发动更多损害印度利益的恐怖袭击。...

防核扩散专家伦纳德•斯佩克特(Leonard S. Spector)指出,随着有关伊朗技术水平及它和与朝鲜交易的消息爆光,伊朗似乎已加大力度生产核武器。伊朗已经能够将铀提炼浓缩到19.75%的水平,这是向生产武器级铀迈出的重要一步。伊朗想要将手中的全部铀浓缩至这一水平,超过了对医学同位素的可能需求,表明了它建造核武器的欲望和必要手段。而且,最近显示,朝鲜已经通过叙利亚和土耳其将被称为“黄饼”(yellowcake)的铀浓缩物运送到伊朗,进一步证明了伊朗的企图威胁着目前的防核扩散体系。世界对这些最新信息的回应还不多,但美国正试图通过联合国安全理事会对伊朗实施新一轮的制裁。这样的制裁如果特别严厉...

Iran appears to have stepped up its efforts to produce a nuclear weapon amid new information about its level of technological expertise and its dealings with North Korea, according to nonproliferation expert Leonard S. Spector. Iran has been able to enrich uranium to the 19.75 percent level, a...

记者萨达南•杜梅(Sadanand Dhume)认为,澳大利亚和印度正在花更多的时间来修复两国关系,而不是在重大国际议题上达成共识。在这上下两篇系列报道的下篇文章中,杜姆指出,尽管澳大利亚是继美国之后最受印度人欢迎的西方国家,然而那里发生的针对其同胞的暴力事件使他们感到震惊,破坏了澳大利亚的形象。印澳两国在历史上都经历过受英国殖民统治,都继承了英语,都热爱板球运动,但这些都不能遏制现在出现的紧张局势。部分原因可能是媒体追求轰动效应和24小时电视新闻频道报道的共鸣效果。但是,有人认为,会讲中国话的澳洲总理路德(Rudd)更在意中国,加上堪培拉(Canberra)在印度拒不加入《核不扩散条约》(...

Despite being a nation built by immigrants, Australia faces fresh challenges in dealing with new arrivals, particularly from India. The recent spate of violent attacks on Indian immigrants has brought a spotlight on the changing nature of migration from Asian neighbors and its impact on Australian...

虽然澳大利亚是一个由移民建立起来的国家,但是它在处理新移民,尤其是来自印度的移民问题上还是面临各种新的挑战。近来袭击印度移民的一系列暴力事件已经使得来自亚洲邻国移民变化的特性及其对澳大利亚社会的影响成为人们关注的焦点。在这上下两篇系列报道中,上篇的作者南亚研究学者罗宾•杰弗里(Robin Jeffrey)探究了隐藏在当下袭击印度移民紧张局势背后的缘由,并将其与已经来到澳大利亚多年的中国移民相对平和的情况做了比较。过去的五年中,因为受到教育机会和永久居留权承诺的吸引,来自印度的学生人数飞涨。印度移民的急剧攀升已经导致近来反对印度移民的暴力事件日益增加,...

The financial crisis in Greece is not only reverberating around Europe but is creating a difficult set of circumstances for the US, necessitating closer American involvement, according to journalist Bruce Stokes. The US has long supported European unity but the crisis is distracting Europeans from...

记者布鲁斯•斯托克斯(Bruce Stokes)指出,希腊金融危机不仅在欧洲引起阵阵冲击波,而且还给美国造成一系列的麻烦,使得美国有必要更密切地卷入其中。长期以来,美国支持欧洲的一体化,但是危机分散了欧洲人对阿富汗和其它地方的注意力,为俄国人的干预开启了新途径,延缓了欧盟扩张的速度。奥巴马总统需要更多关注欧洲,敦促欧洲领袖参与国际货币基金组织救助希腊的努力。在斯托克斯看来,一个很好的起点就是奥巴马重新考虑他不参加5月美国欧盟首脑峰会的决定。最后,希腊危机或许表明了,一个国家的国内预算问题是如何搅乱市场,并以令人难以预料的方式威胁外交政策动议的。——耶鲁全球

正在上演的希腊悲剧影响了远近多个国家,再次证明了我们这个一体化世界的相互依附。在这上下两篇系列报道中, 上篇的作者约翰逊•芬比(Jonathan Fenby)展示了希腊令人惋惜的国家事务如何使欧洲项目受到质疑。事实上,希腊的动荡局面已经暴露了欧盟概念中的某些基本缺陷。只要其主要成员,比如法国和德国不让渡国家权威,欧盟将绝不会成为一个真正的联盟。如果没有解决北方高储蓄和南方高消费造成的失衡问题,欧元也绝不能顺利运作。只要希腊继续使用欧元,它就不能利用货币政策来治愈一些病症。这些情况导致了一系列并非恶意的紧急财政救援措施的出台——来自德国,法国或者世界货币基金组织,...

NATO’s top civilian leader, Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen envisions an expanded, global role for NATO. Today, threats to NATO’s founding members, let alone the world, tend to be global in nature and frequently from non-state actors. Hence, overcoming such threats requires a globally...

N约(NATO)最高文职长官——北约秘书长安诺斯•福格•拉斯穆森(Anders Fogh Rasmussen)设想,北约应在全球范围角色扩张。今天,北约创始成员国面对的威胁(更不用说整个世界面对的威胁)往往具有全球性,而且主体常常不是国家。因此,要消除这些威胁,就需要建立一个全球化的安全联盟。安全专家理查德•韦茨(Richard Weitz)认为,尽管拉斯穆森的构想并没有2006年提出的北约全球化建议(Global NATO proposal)那样雄心勃勃,但这一构想已经引起了俄罗斯和中国的焦虑。这两国担心,北约会在符合联盟自身利益的时候,规避联合国决议。...

作者迪利普•希罗(Dilip Hiro)认为,美国、中国、欧盟、俄罗斯、印度和巴西正逐渐成为关键国家,它们之间的关系将决定全球各国关系的未来。美国独霸的时代已经结束,一个新的关系格局正在形成。然而这种关系并非固定的联盟形式,而是“合作与竞争”的联合体,充满着不确定性。美国与中国在经济上相互依赖,但在台湾问题上却存在巨大分歧。与此相同,中国和印度互为重要贸易伙伴,但在西藏边界地区的领土问题上一直存在争议。俄罗斯向中国出售石油和天然气,而且两国间还曾进行过联合军事演习,但北京并不承认南奥塞梯(South Ossetia)是一个独立国家。这些关系的复杂性类似于欧洲国家在拿破仑战争后的一段历史:...
