Palestine: The Unfinished Responsibility of Administering Powers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A century after Balfour, the Palestinian tragedy remains a stark reminder that external powers cannot shape the destinies of peoples and then disclaim responsibility for the consequences. Historical candour must now be matched by the courage to act. British Foreign Secretary Arthur James Balfour In my article ‘Meanwhile in Palestine…’, I suggested that a conflict of such consequence must not be allowed to disappear from our field of vision simply because the world is assailed by so many other cr
SSR: Father of the Nation, Architect of Our Foreign Policy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
On the 126th anniversary of his birth, it is fitting to recall Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam not only as the Father of the Nation and the architect of our independence, but also as the statesman who gave newly independent Mauritius its first diplomatic compass.

After a relative restraint and yet another failed attempt to end the war, missiles and drones are once more traversing Middle Eastern skies. The ceasefire Memorandum of Understanding has proved scarcely worth the paper on which it was writte
The Thucydides Trap: Are We Walking Into It? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Xi Jinping invoked an ancient warning during Donald Trump’s recent visit to Beijing. It deserves more than passing attention. At a time when great-power rivalry is sharpening, wars are raging or smouldering across several regions and the institutions created to contain international conflict are visibly weakening, the conditions that once propelled Athens and Sparta towards catastrophe are beginning to look disturbingly familiar. Xi Jinping’s ancient warning during Donald Trump’s recent Beijing
