The US foreign policy towards North Korea appears to have shifted from deterrence to preventing the export of nuclear materials and technology to countries or international terrorist groups.

June 28, 2011
美国工人和政客对就业岗位流去亚洲愤愤不平。但华盛顿东西方中心主任赛图•勒美（Satu Limaye）指出，亚洲和美国的互动在教育、移民、投资、旅游和贸易方面给美国创造了就业和收入。他创建了“亚洲对美国举足轻重”的在线地图，该地图根据美国政府数据，显示2001年至2008年美国各州和国会各选区的出口值，及其增长和占贸易总额的百分比。该网站仍在发展之中，它也显示各州的亚洲学生和公民的数据。美国被贸易赤字所困扰，但对亚洲出口的货物和服务超过了欧盟、墨西哥和加拿大。勒美估计，对亚洲出口创造的美国就业岗位多于85万个。国家和政治家，正如企业家一样，彼此存在竞争。阻止强有力的候选人，谨慎投资，...

August 9, 2011
经济学家大卫•达皮斯（David Dapice）指出，对于如何重振就业岗位的创新或全球经济的安全，世界各国领导人表现出茫无头绪、缺乏信心。美国拥有化解其巨额负债的雄厚资源，然而各方争执不下、贪图权力的做法使得快速的解决方案一再受阻。欧洲不肯制定长期政策来解决成员国之间不平等的债务累积，仅采取勉为其难的援助举措，这在激励市场信心方面的作用微乎其微。债务削弱了一度强大的经济体，致使它们难以招架不可避免的灾难，债务与GDP的比率高达百分之二百的日本就是这样的情况。新兴经济体过于依赖对富裕国家的出口以及自然资源的开采，所以对这些国家也不能寄予厚望。世界各国年轻人的未来惨淡渺茫：工作前景不容乐观，...
