Can the U.S. Reach a Compromise on Greenland That Averts a Transatlantic Crisis?
The United States, Denmark and Greenland will likely reach a compromise deal that significantly expands the U.S. military and economic footprint in Greenland without formal annexation, though continued U.S. coercive pressure could still destabilize NATO cohesion and trigger a broader transatlantic crisis if ongoing talks break down. Details have emerged over the past week about the content of ongoing trilateral negotiations between Washington, Copenhagen and Nuuk aimed at finding a resolution to the dispute triggered by U.S. President Donald Trump's repeated demands to acquire Greenland. A May 12 report from the BBC said U.S. officials were pushing for three new military bases in southern Greenland focused on surveilling Russian and Chinese maritime activity in the GIUK Gap, the strategic stretch of the northern Atlantic between Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom. One of the new bases would likely be located at the site of the former U.S. base in Narsarsuaq,

Delegates attend the closing of China's 19th Party Congress in Beijing on Oct. 24.
Deciphering China's 19th Party Congress
Since the death of its founding father, Mao Zedong, the People's Republic of China has transformed itself from a stagnating autarky into the world's largest trading nation. Throughout the country's ascent, the global media has naturally paid closer attention to the Chinese Communist Party's quinquennial congresses. But because of the secrecy in which China's high politics are shrouded, the proceedings have become increasingly difficult for analysts to cover, and for their readers to understand. Five years after the 18th Party Congress, no one knows for sure how President Xi Jinping came to power, let alone the true nature of his relationship with his predecessors.

China is one of the few credible challengers to U.S. political, economic and military supremacy.
What Kind of Power Will China Become?
These are grim times for the Chinese economy. In the two years since property markets peaked and subsequently began to slow in most cities across China, it has become abundantly clear that the approach to economic management that sustained double-digit annual growth for two decades has exhausted itself. The unprecedented stock market volatility of the past year, along with signs of spreading unemployment and labor unrest in many regions, are important reminders that the transition to new foundations of national economic growth will in all likelihood be bitter, slow and unnervingly uncertain.

Heterarchy: An Idea Finally Ripe for Its Time
People are talking about "the American Century," or "the Chinese Century," as if it is perfectly natural that some nation must be number one. I was invited to give a talk at Rand a few years after the fall of the Soviet Union. The concern at Rand was how to manage a "unipolar world" now that the bipolar order of the Cold War had come to an end. I tried to tell the researchers at Rand about heterarchy ... but they were not interested. There was a mindset there, a hierarchical mindset, that insisted that somebody must be "number one," and it better be us. You see this mindset at play in the well-worn epithet of the lion as "king of the jungle." But who says the jungle has to have a king? The jungle is not a political order, however many alpha male gorillas may roam its paths. The jungle
