Excellent piece in @ForeignPolicy by my colleague @akashkapur at @NewAmerica on Digital Solidarity, the new "north star" of U.S. international cyber policy. An essential read for understanding U.S. cyber strategy and the future of the global internet. foreignpolicy.com/2024/07/31…

“What’s happening in Indonesia is emblematic of a dispiriting global trend in which countries that once championed liberal democracy, such as India under Narendra Modi and Trump-era America, are allowing it to wither,” @gordonlaforge writes. Read: nyti.ms/42AozbI

If 'networked multilateralism' is the future, than city networks, like @Mayors4Climate and @MayorsMigration, will most certainly become its essential enablers. bit.ly/3y9iKSz Great piece from @robmuggah @slaughterAM @GordonLaForge and Katherine Aguirre

Less than 1% of the 2.3 billion #vaccine doses administered to date have gone to low-income countries. Impact hubs can accelerate progress. My latest with ⁦@SlaughterAM⁩, ⁦@katheaguirreCOL⁩ and ⁦@GordonLaForge⁩ in ⁦@ForeignPolicy⁩. foreignpolicy.com/2021/06/21…
Vaccinating enough of the world to control the pandemic by the end of 2022 will require legions of actors, billions of dollars, and herculean levels of coordination. It’s now up to Biden and other world leaders to make this possible, @rajshah writes. trib.al/NSRYjKU

See @SlaughterAM @GordonLaForge on the need for an inclusive #globalorder; states can’t alone. I spent years connecting civil society, think tanks, private sector to #UN talks on #SDGs. Messy but worth it—we got better goals like on #inequality & #climate and had more impact.👇🏼
States are adapting to a world of multiple power centers and complex issues that require coordination at every level of society. @SlaughterAM and @GordonLaForge consider how the liberal international order can adapt as well: trib.al/UmXOGGv

The US vaccine export ban fails on humanitarian, economic, health, & strategic grounds. The problem in USA is too little demand whereas elsewhere it is too little supply. This counter-productive case of America first-ism needs to go as we help ourselves if we help others.

I'd like to believe that more and more US foreign policy will emerge from civil society. It needs to, because it's getting harder to realize change through statecraft, unless it involves killing people.
People in Myanmar are being shot in the streets as they protest a military coup. I spent much of last week talking with activists there about what Americans can do to help them. Here’s what they told me: Thread. motherjones.com/politics/202…

.@helenegayle, @GordonLaForge, & @SlaughterAM are right: A "U.S.-led vaccine effort could invigorate a new multilateralism that is more pragmatic and inclusive ... and better adapted to tackling twenty-first-century global threats." foreignaffairs.com/articles/…
