    Opinion piece by Charles Grant
    Financial Times, 09 June 2008

    Report by Charles Grant, Katinka Barysch, 01 May 2008

    A new world order is emerging, with multiple centres of power. But will this order be multilateral, with governments accepting global rules and institutions? Or will the strongest states assert their interests unilaterally, without regard to international law?

  • Don't be fooled: Bali was no breakthrough
    Insight by Simon Tilford, 18 December 2007

    The United Nations Climate Change Conference in Bali produced as much as it was ever likely to do. There was no breakthrough, contrary to the claims of some that attended the conference.
  • China is losing its EU friends
    Insight by Katinka Barysch, 29 November 2007

    The EU is getting tough on China. That, at least, is the impression one gets from high-ranking EU officials that arrived for the annual EU-China summit in Beijing this week. Economics is the main reason for Europe’s changing mood.
