Manama dialogue: Gathering for security or insecurity?

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - In recent days, Bahrain has hosted a meeting in Manama called the Regional Security Summit. Although Bahrain was the nominal host of the Manama dialogue, the meeting could be considered to be hosted by Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, given Riyadh's godfather's ruling on Manama. The record of these countries, both domestically against their citizens and in the region against free nations like Yemen, shows that they are themselves part of the crisis and the cause of insecurity in the region, and therefore hosting Manama dialogue called the Regional Security Summit is a clear contradiction. Official…

Washington; The capital or The barracks?

BY: Pooya Mirzaei PEJOURNAL - Washington DC has become a military barracks on the eve of the inauguration of US President-elect Joe Biden. Thousands of troops are currently stationed in the city, and the Pentagon has confirmed that 25,000 troops (equivalent to the number of troops the United States has deployed in South Korea to defend the country) will be deployed to secure the ceremony. The FBI said there was "alarming evidence" that protesters might clash with police at Biden's inauguration, stressing the need for a large government presence and that it would monitor calls for armed action until the…

No Democrats or Republicans policy can bring peace to Middle East

PEJOURNAL - Stating that peace will require the cooperation and solidarity of the countries of the region, Faruk Logoglu said that no American policy, whether Democratic or Republican can bring peace to Middle East. Democrat Joe Biden has been elected as the 46th president of the United States after garnering over 270 electoral votes needed to win the White House and defeat Trump. Following this announcement, Trump issued a statement, indicating that he is not ready to accept his electoral defeat. However, with Trump’s refusal to accept Biden's victory in the presidential election, concerns grow that he might drag the US military into his political…

From Hegemony To Hedgemony

BY: Leonid Savin PEJOURNAL - The RAND corporation has unveiled a unique defence planning and response project called “Hedgemony”. As is clear from the name, it is a play on the words “hegemony” and “hedging”, i.e. managing and insuring against risk. “Hedgemony. A Game of Strategic Choices” is a practical tool that RAND researchers have created to teach US specialists in defence and related areas. Its mission is to provide a better understanding of how different strategies could influence key planning factors in the sphere of trade at the intersection of force development, force management, force posture, and force employment.…

Farming and Brexit

BY: Navomee Ponnamperuma PEJOURNAL - In the UK, until the recent pandemic, Brexit was the most common topic of conversation. From immigration to sovereignty, it was a heavily contested topic with extensive media coverage. Nevertheless, amidst the chatter, one aspect of Brexit appeared amiss despite its economic and social value. British farming represents one of the UK’s largest manufacturing sectors, contributing an estimate of over £120 billion to the national economy. It provides a secure food system in the UK and generates employment in rural areas, as current figures show over 4 million people employed in this sector. Prior to…

The Express Tribune: India’s False Sense of Security and Stability

BY: Durdana Najam PEJOURNAL - From a regional point of view, India is a country with a confused perception of its global position. The assumption of having the power to subdue its neighbouring countries either militarily or economically has left India on its hinges, on many occasions. Whether it was Doklum, Balakot and now Ladakh, the storyline has been the same: aggression, standoff, and submission. India may have crossed over Pakistan’s territory in February 2019, but it left behind a state that respects international law and had the wherewithal to defend its territorial sovereignty. What image does India leave behind…
