  • 28 Oct 2009 - - Financial Times - Power politics The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" But, whatever his secret musings, Miliband made an interesting and thoughtful speech on Britain and Europe a couple of days ago at the IISS in London. He argued that the world is heading for an "Age of Continents", in which sheer size will be increasingly important. The world will either be run by a G2 of China and the US, or by a G3 that includes the EU. The moral is that Britain has to throw its lot in with the EU, or face increas-ing irrelevance. As Miliband himself notes, the Tories' aversion to deeper
  • 28 Oct 2009 - - Le Monde - Too Late... The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" Le plus gravement atteint est le jeune et brillant secrétaire au Foreign Office, David Miliband. Déjà, au congrès du Labour, le mois dernier, il avait dit toute sa foi dans l'Union européenne. Lundi 26 octobre, il est allé plus loin. Dans un discours important, il a relégué au deuxième plan ce qui était depuis toujours le pilier numéro un de la politique étrangère britannique : la relation privilégiée avec les Etats-Unis. M. Miliband, qui pourrait être appelé à diriger le Labour, lui substitue une autre pri
  • 28 Oct 2009 - - South China Morning Post - Pirates turn ancient trade into model modern business IISS Logo"China's military is facing an unprecedented situation here," said Gary Li, a researcher on the PLA at Lon-don's International Institute of Strategic Studies. "So many of the challenges we know that they are going to have to face in the future are present ... whether it is questions over command-and-control issues and intel-ligence gathering to how it will handle domestic pressure demanding the use of force. It is going to be fascinating to watch this play out."
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - CNN - U.S. Welcomes China #2 Military Chief Military Balance 2009 You just heard about china's military buildup and capabilities, and when you compare defense budgets, here's something else. According to the International Institute for Strategic Studies, the U.S. budget for last year was $693 billion, the defense budget. China's a mere fraction of that, at about $61 billion. Take a look at this. China has more active troops, almost 2.2 million, compared to almost 1.6 million active troops for the U.S.
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - Financial Times- Miliband warns on choice for European president The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" In a speech to the International Institute for Strategic Studies in London, Mr Miliband said: "The choice for Europe is simple: get our act together and make the EU a leader on the world stage or become spectators in a G2 world shaped by the US and China." Mr Miliband said the EU's foreign policy was blighted by confused messages, patchy co-ordination and relationships with global powers that lacked "clarity, strategy or purpose". "It is very strongly in the British national interest for the EU to dev
  • 27 Oct 2009 - - Independent - Mr Miliband makes a strong case The Rt Hon David Miliband, MP, Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs addresses the IISS on "EU Foreign Policy After Lisbon" David Miliband yesterday delivered the kind of speech that is too seldom heard in British politics; a speech that made a strong and unambiguous case for a greater role for the European Union on the global stage. As the Foreign Secretary argued, it is in Britain's "national interest" to see the EU develop a strong foreign policy.

Building Peace After War

By Mats Berdal

The widespread practice of intervention by outside actors aimed at building ‘sustainable peace’ within societies ravaged by war has been a striking feature of the post-Cold War era. But, at a time when more peacekeepers are deployed around the world than at any other point in history, is the international will to intervene beginning to wane?
