The Economic Case for an India-Pakistan Ceasefire
While both New Delhi and Islamabad have an interest in further hostilities, should the conflict resume -- and especially if it becomes protracted -- economic conditions in both countries will be a significant factor in determining how they proceed. Pakistan would find conflict significantly more difficult to sustain from an economic and financial perspective given India's far greater economic size and financing flexibility and stronger economic fundamentals.

Amid India and Pakistan's Tenuous Ceasefire, Future Flare-Ups Remain Possible
The near-term threat of severe escalation between India and Pakistan has waned, but ceasefire violations remain possible and, over the long term, disagreements on water-sharing and third-party mediation in Kashmir will sustain tensions and the risk of cross-border flare-ups. Late on May 12, India and Pakistan's directors general of military operations spoke by phone, days after India and Pakistan on May 10 agreed to a ceasefire after coming close to full-blown conflict. The ceasefire so far appears to be broadly holding (albeit tenuously), with clashes easing along the disputed India-Pakistan border in Kashmir, known as the Line of Control. Much remains unclear about the circumstances surrounding the truce, including the precise role international pressure played in bringing it about. However, the announcement came just hours after cross-border attacks had sharply escalated, with India reportedly striking several Pakistani airbases, including one near Islamabad, to which Pakistan responded by reportedly hitting two

Can Israel and Turkey Avoid a Conflict in Syria?
Israel and Turkey will seek to avoid direct conflict in Syria, but their expanding military presence in the country -- combined with their contrasting ambitions and backing of different armed groups -- could still lead to limited clashes. In recent weeks, Israeli and Turkish delegations have held technical talks to establish a deconfliction mechanism in Syria, where both countries have expanded their military presence following the Dec. 8 collapse of Bashar al Assad's regime. In an April 9 interview with CNN Turk, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said that "there are technical contacts to prevent combat elements from misunderstanding each other," which would contact each other "when needed" to prevent clashes between the two countries, whose relations have soured since the start of the Hamas-Israel war in October 2023. Since al Assad's fall, both the Turkish and Israeli governments have levied accusations against each other regarding their respective operations in

France, Africa and the Future, Part 1: A New Balance of Power
Once the gatekeeper of West and Central Africa, France's influence over its former colonial domain has faced repeated setbacks in the last several years. These first began in the Sahel, where a string of military coups between 2020 and 2023 saw Mali, Niger and Burkina Faso pivot toward Russia and effectively force French troops out of the region, to which they were initially deployed in 2013 to halt the advance of jihadist groups. Following suit, Chad, Senegal and Cote d'Ivoire all announced in late 2024 the end of France's basing rights in their respective countries. Together with France's military base in Gabon morphing into a joint military training center, this effectively signaled the imminent end of France's forward military deployments to West and Central Africa. A flurry of headlines has since forecast the impending collapse of France's influence in Africa. While the reality is likely to be more nuanced, the

Budding EU-China Rapprochement Amid U.S. Tariffs Will Have Its Limits
The European Union's cautious rapprochement with China opens the door to limited economic cooperation, but structural constraints and competing priorities on both sides will constrain the prospects of any significant shift from Brussels' broader de-risking strategy toward Beijing. European and Chinese officials have stepped up high-level diplomatic engagement in recent weeks in response to the growing fallout from sweeping U.S. tariff increases. On April 8, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen held a phone call with Chinese Premier Li Qiang, during which the two leaders agreed to work toward a "negotiated resolution" to the trade disruptions affecting both economies. According to the commission's readout, they emphasized the need for cooperation to preserve global economic stability, prevent further escalation and uphold a fair, rules-based international trading system. Von der Leyen also proposed establishing a joint mechanism to monitor and manage the potential diversion of U.S.-bound Chinese exports to the European
