| Summary/Abstract |
The unprecedented threat posed by terrorists and rogue states armed with weapons of mass destruction cannot be handled by an outdated and poorly enforced nonproliferation regime. The international community has a duty to prevent security disasters as well as humanitarian ones -- even at the price of violating sovereignty.

| Summary/Abstract |
Foreign policy experts have long been taught to see the world as a chessboard, analyzing the decisions of great powers and anticipating rival states’ reactions in a continual game of strategic advantage. Nineteenth-century British statesmen openly embraced this metaphor, calling their contest with Russia in Central Asia “the Great Game [2].” Today, the TV show Game of Thrones [3] offers a particularly gory and irresistible version of geopolitics as a continual competition among contending kingdoms.

| Summary/Abstract |
When the world looks back on the response to the COVID-19
pandemic, one lesson it will draw is the value ofcompetent national governments—the kind that imposed socialdistancing restrictions, delivered clear public health messaging, and
implemented testing and contact tracing. It will also, however, recall
the importance ofthe CEOs, philanthropists, epidemiologists, doctors, investors, civic leaders, mayors, and governors who stepped in
when national leaders failed.

| Summary/Abstract |
In Western democracies, the political center is straining to hold. A nationalist, populist surge has driven the United Kingdom to vote to leave the European Union; has elected Donald Trump, who ran on a commitment to dismantle the U.S.-led liberal order; and is motivating the rise of right-wing nationalist politicians in Europe such as Marine Le Pen, who if elected as the French president could have sounded the death knell of European integration.
