24 Sep 2009 - - Orange County Register - Obama a cheerleader for government action The president may have been reflecting a report last week from the widely respected London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies, which argued that, after Iraq, Afghanistan, and the financial collapse, “the U.S. share of ‘global power,’ however measured, is in decline.” Whether that is true or not, or whether the president believes it, he talked as if he were the right person to define what the problems are.
20 Sep 2009 - - Sunday Telegraph - Barack Obama changes American missile plans in Europe, causing fear among allies Mr Obama calls this as an "era of engagement" while his neoconservative critics dismiss the strategy as dangerously naïve appeasement. John Chipman, head of the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a London think-tank, characterises the new Obama approach as "No we can't" go-it-alone any longer - a reference to his campaign slogan last year, "Yes we can".
18 Sep 2009 - - McClatchy Newspapers - Pakistan balks at pursuing anti-U.S. extremist groups Experts on the Afghanistan war think that military progress and political stability won't be possible there unless the government roots out the havens the insurgents have established in western Pakistan. The International Institute for Strategic Studies, a London-based research center, concluded in its annual review this week that "Pakistan remained the biggest source of instability for Afghanistan."
18 Sep 2009 - - United Press International - Uruguay wants stronger, balanced Mercosur for Latin cohesion The London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies said last week the Obama administration could capitalize on new signs of pragmatism among Latin American governments of different political shades after the "lost years" of the Bush presidency.
16 Sep 2009 - - Times - President Obama's top military adviser exposes Afghanistan rifts The argument was echoed in London by the International Institute for Strategic Studies, which warned that the continued presence of foreign troops in Afghanistan could be more destabilising than withdrawal.
16 Sep 2009 - - Daily Times (Pakistan) - Pakistan blamed for Afghan insecurity The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) said Pakistan had become the “key battleground” for Al Qaeda-linked fighters who fled Afghanistan in 2001, AFP reported. “It is clear that Pakistan has become the key battleground in Al Qaeda’s efforts to establish a base area to replace the one lost in Afghanistan,” it said in its annual report.
