  7. Some forms of peace are built for the cameras. Others are built to survive the morning after.

    This piece reflects on the difference between political spectacle and the harder, slower work of building trust, legitimacy, and durable peace.

  8. Multilateralism for middle powers

    " Multilateralism is shorthand for the much-invoked “rules-based international order”; multipolarity is the world of competing spheres of interest, what Stubb calls “an oligopoly of power”, where the strong do what they will and the weak do what they must.

    We are not simply in a transition; we are in a fight for a future world order. And the path to a healthy outcome necessarily runs through international institutions, from the UN to settings far beyond it, where we must rethink membership and power for global cooperation to survive.The world is being reshaped by the “structural” forces of demography, climate and technology,

    Part of the problem, Stubb argues, is that “the US is not a modern society by European or Asian standards”. This helps to explain the growing influence of a radical form of evangelical Christianity within the Trump administration. But it also accounts for the absence of adequate healthcare, education and housing that plagues the US, in particular, and neoliberal economies like Australia’s more generally.

    Without strong multilateral systems, all interstate deals become transactional. A multipolar world runs on self-interest. A multilateral world makes the common interest a self-interest. " >>

  9. Greetings from Vienna! Almost done with week one of the Legal Subcommittee (LSC) of the United Nations Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (COPUOS). Core topics are governance of lunar exploration, SpaceTraffic and possible reforms to COPUOS.

    Going exactly in the opposite direction to where we should be headed -
    1. Close the $4 trillion financing gap by scaling up financing and investment;
    2. Focus on maximizing #sustainable #development impact, aligned with country priorities;
    3. Invest in# resilience to protect impact in the face of more frequent shocks;

  12. "Since 2016, Trump has withdrawn or announced plans to withdraw from multiple multilateral agreements and institutions. These include the Paris Agreement, the Iran nuclear deal, the U.N. Human Rights Council, and the Treaty on Open Skies, among others. In addition, the second Trump administration has announced its intention to withdraw from the World Health Organization and quit UNESCO again.

    Then there are Trump’s planned cuts to the U.N. budget. Most prominent is his slashing of $800 million from U.N. peacekeeping operations, which involves funds already appropriated by Congress. While the administration has agreed to provide some targeted funding for specific peacekeeping missions it supports, such as those in Haiti, Lebanon, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, its broader cuts have led the U.N. to reduce its global peacekeeping force by 25 percent. Trump is also withholding Washington’s mandatory contributions, leading to estimates that his total cuts to the U.N. budget will amount to more than $2 billion. As a result, the U.N. is now looking at slashing its budget by more than $500 million and cutting nearly 20 percent of its staff.
    Ironically, while Trump is publicly demanding a Nobel Peace Prize, he is undercutting U.N. peacekeeping, which, despite its flaws, has been instrumental in easing conflicts and saving lives.
    But this destruction is not the full story. Even as Trump cements the United States’ reputation as the world’s absentee- or defector-in-chief, international cooperation has survived. We are now seeing rising powers rebuff Trump’s tariffs and threats, often using multilateral forums such as BRICS, the G-20, the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) as mechanisms to do so."

  17. "This article presents how global governance […] targets moved from sovereign to corporate entities and its source from multilateral financial institutions to domestic U.S. institutions. […] The article describes the recursive process that led the U.S. government to assume global regulatory powers and to initiate deglobalization in its trade war against the European Union and China."
