    Led into a false sense of stability

    News, Editorial, Published on 29/05/2016

    » From crisis comes opportunity, as the saying goes. And there is no greater way of seizing an opportunity than controlling the crisis. Savvy and cynical political operatives have learned not only how to exploit troubled times, but how to create them. The model example is arguably Gonzalo "Goni" Sanchez de Lozada's use of US consultancy firm Greenberg Carville Shrum in his 2002 campaign to return from the political wilderness to win a second term as Bolivian president. It was the subject of a documentary about the power of confecting chaos for political gain. "The theme for us is crisis. That's our brand," one of the strategists told the campaign team.

    Asean's 'centrality' faces growing threat

    News, Thitinan Pongsudhirak, Published on 17/06/2016

    » The debacle earlier this week when Asean foreign ministers opted for a watered-down joint statement after issuing a firmer version following their meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi is yet another testament to the challenges facing the 10-member group's "centrality" in building Asia's regional order.

    Alan Dawson, Published on 19/06/2016

    » Torture is probably more like the weather than anything else around. It is, as US editorialist Charles Dudley Warner wrote (Mark Twain repeated it), "a matter about which a great deal is said and very little done".
