Two Sides

Significance Under an agreement struck last month, the two sides dismantled forward-deployed encampments and returned to their positions prior to the onset of the crisis, according to a statement from India’s defence ministry. However, troops continue to face off elsewhere along the border. Impacts China is a hot-button issue for Indian nationalism, but the reverse is not the case, so Beijing may have more room for flexibility. Delhi's efforts to reduce India's economic interactions with China will continue. Quadrilateral security cooperation between India, the United States, Japan and Australia will gather momentum.

State Group

Subject Terrorism risks to Russia. Significance The Islamic State group (ISG) called for jihad against Russia and the United States on October 13. ISG regards Moscow and Washington as fighting a 'crusader war' against Muslims. Concern in Russia is growing that President Vladimir Putin's Syrian intervention will increase the terrorism threat inside the country. Impacts Exodus of radicals to fight with ISG has improved the security situation in the North Caucasus but many may seek to return to attack Russia. Chechen leader Kadyrov's power will grow if North Caucasus terrorism increases, as Moscow will need him to help restore order. Russia will push for closer security cooperation with Western agencies, the Kremlin using the threat as an argument for defending Damascus.

Significance China has blocked imports of Australian goods, arrested Australian nationals, issued threatening remarks and released a list of its grievances against Australia. Impacts China's actions towards Australia will spur other countries' efforts to diversify their economic partnerships to withstand Chinese coercion. Poorer, weaker countries without powerful allies may be less able than Australia to endure Chinese pressure. Australia will strengthen security cooperation against China with the United States, Japan and India.

Subject Sweden-US defence cooperation. Significance The defence cooperation agreement signed on June 8 between the United States and Sweden lends political weight and direction to a bilateral defence and security relationship that is rapidly changing and has taken on new importance in both Stockholm and Washington as the security situation in the Baltic Sea region continues to be turbulent and contested. The agreement will enable more direct bilateral cooperation between the United States and Sweden in the fields of training and exercises, capabilities development, research and development, and industrial collaboration. Impacts Regular exercises with NATO allies and security partners like Sweden will see greater numbers of US troops in the Baltic region. Industrial collaboration between Swedish and US defence firms will present commercial opportunities. Finland may pursue a similar bilateral framework for security cooperation with the United States.

Two Sides

Significance Eight months on, there is little progress on the key issues discussed at the Singapore summit: there has been no formal end to the Korean War, and the two sides are yet to agree on what ‘denuclearisation’ means in practice. Impacts As part of a deal in Hanoi, Trump may offer sanctions relief that allows inter-Korean initiatives to proceed. Seoul and Tokyo fear a deal that removes the threat to the United States but leaves Pyongyang’s regional capabilities intact. Serious deterioration of relations between Japan and South Korea strengthens Pyongyang’s position. If inter-Korean initiatives fail, the prospects rise of South Korean conservatives recapturing the legislature in next year's election.

Significance The conference is designed to resolve conflicts between the politically powerful military and several ethnically based armed groups. The talks come months before Myanmar holds a general election, which will likely result in State Counsellor Aung San Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy (NLD) retaining control of the civilian portion of government. Impacts China will continue to support different ethnic insurgent groups while also delivering on infrastructure projects in Myanmar. Myanmar will likely become more embroiled in rivalries between China and the United States, and China and India. As violence endures in parts of the country, the number of internally displaced persons will increase.

Societal Problems

Significance High on the agenda is the need for science to work across disciplines to address complex societal problems. In 2015, research and development (R&D) funding increased by 5.1% across the top 1,000 global R&D corporate investors, almost back in line with its ten-year trend of 5.4%. Europe has lost ground, with the largest proportion of top R&D-performing firms based in the United States and the largest share of research being performed in Asia-Pacific. Impacts Low euro-area growth is causing R&D to leave Europe, with France, the United Kingdom and Germany experiencing sharp spending declines. China and India will benefit from growth in global R&D, but few Indian firms are major performers thus far. Greater connectivity and mobility will require more collaboration, especially in combating the threat of pandemics and climate adaptation.

Two Sides

Significance The lockout followed failure to reach a new collective bargaining agreement (CBA) and pitches a cartel of owners against arguably the most powerful labour union in the United States. The two sides are far apart and disruption to the 2022 season cannot be ruled out. Impacts Even a contract agreement by February 1 would leave little time for free agents to find clubs and other players to secure terms. Should a players' strike happen, it will not be likely until after the season has begun, giving the players' union more leverage. Pressure to unionise minor league baseball will grow.
