The Mayors Defending Democracy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The political theorist Benjamin R. Barber, in the final years of his life, championed cities as the polities that could fix the world’s problems. Barber’s most famous contribution to the public discourse had been his 1995 book, “Jihad vs. McWorld,” which looked at the acceleration of post-Cold War globalization and a tribalism that grew in response. It anticipated, to a remarkable extent, the political ruptures and the socioeconomic forces that would shape the first decades of the twenty-first c
Donald Trump Returns to the U.N. Amid the Collapse of the Old Order (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Among Washington’s think tankers and its ranks of retired diplomats, it has become commonplace to talk of the “interregnum.” The old world of the Pax Americana may be dying, to paraphrase Antonio Gramsci, but the new “post-American” order is in fitful gestation, yet to be born.

Through panicked phone calls, he tried to piece together what had happened. Then came videos and photographs and horrific news about family members. âMy eldest aunt was swept away,â he wrote, in an article the following day. âSo was her son . . . and his wife.â
What If Canada Joined the E.U.? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In February, 2025, I met with a delegation of Canadian ministers visiting Washington, D.C. Their aim was to convince the Trump Administration, at the outset of its second term, of the virtues of collaboration and coöperation, even though President Trump had already signalled his intent to target a large number of Canadian exports for new tariffs. François-Philippe Champagne, then Canada’s Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry, stressed to me how difficult it would be to untangle the Amer
