India: Modi Pledges Low-Level Concession in First Public Comments on Student Protests
In his first public comments on the exam scandals that have fueled weeks-long demonstrations by the Cockroach Janta Party youth group, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi pledged to establish specialized courts that would bypass ordinary courts' more burdensome processes to prosecute those allegedly involved in leaking exam papers and ensure they face "swift and stringent punishment," Reuters reported on July 23.

What the Fall of Kostiantynivka Would Mean for the Ukraine War
The eastern Ukrainian city of Kostiantynivka is likely to fall to Russia in the coming weeks, but Russian forces will struggle to advance much farther into the Donbas. As a result, Russia will lean harder on an aerial bombardment campaign that is unlikely to break Kyiv's resolve but will make this winter the war's harshest yet. On July 17, Donetsk police spokesperson Pavlo Dyachenko said Kostiantynivka, a key southernmost city and a supply hub in the province's Slovyansk-Kramatorsk fortress belt and now largely emptied of civilians, was so tightly encircled by Russian forces that remaining residents could no longer evacuate by vehicle and had been forced to flee on foot. Russian assault troops have reportedly broken into the western, southeastern and eastern districts of the city, while Ukrainian units continue to hold the northwest and center. As Russian forces press their slow and costly ground offensive across the Donbas, Ukraine's

The Modern Geopolitics of China
Geography is the foundation of China's historical and contemporary challenges and significantly informs its governing style. The fertile land between the Yellow and Yangtze rivers, protected in the West by mountains and in the East by the sea, has been the cradle of Chinese civilization and of pre-civilizational advanced neolithic societies for at least five millennia, long before there was a unified Chinese state. This geographic core provided ample capacity for agricultural cultivation and population growth, as well as protection from outsiders, though the plains to the north would provide an invasion path for the Mongols in the 13th century and the Manchus in the 17th century, hence the necessity of China’s Great Wall. From China's early history of kings and feudalism to the rule of Emperor Qin Shi Huang in 221-210 B.C. and beyond, this geography also posed acute challenges, chiefly in water management as rulers fought to feed

Security as a Service: The Risks of Trump's Transactionalism in the Strait of Hormuz
The United States' transactional security demands in the Strait of Hormuz will further alienate Gulf partners and harden Iran's attitude toward controlling the waterway, and could also encourage Yemen's Houthis to impose tolls on ships transiting the nearby Bab el-Mandeb Strait. In a rapid back and forth on July 13-14, U.S. President Donald Trump announced -- and then reversed -- a pledge to place a 20% toll on all cargoes passing through the Strait of Hormuz, which he initially characterized as a levy to compensate for American protection for transiting the contested waterway. However, after intense regional and international lobbying, Trump said that the United States would instead negotiate massive trade and investment commitments with Gulf Arab states in exchange for continued protection, without providing further details. The transactional offer came amid a weeklong uptick in regional hostilities, marked by Iranian attacks on Jordan, Kuwait and Bahrain, and U.S. attacks
