		<description><![CDATA[Political transitions in East Asia promise to mark a defining moment in the region&#8217;s jittery geopolitics. After the ascension in China of Xi Jinping, regarded by the People&#8217;s Liberation Army (PLA) as its own man, Japan seems set to swing to the right in its impending election &#8212; an outcome likely to fuel nationalist passion [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The recent 50th anniversary of China&#8217;s invasion of India attracted much discussion, especially within India. Yet the debate shied away from drawing the broader, long-term lessons for Asian security. The lessons are also relevant for China&#8217;s other neighbors because the 1962 war helped uncover the key elements of Beijing&#8217;s war-fighting doctrine &#8212; a doctrine it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At a time when China&#8217;s economy and society are under considerable strain and the country is embroiled in increasingly tense border disputes with its neighbors, the relatively peaceful once-in-a-decade political transition in Beijing has helped deflect attention from the underlying turbulence in the Chinese system. The fact is that China is at a turning point, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The U.S. strategy long has been geared against the rise of any hegemonic power in Asia and for a stable balance of power. Yet, as its 2006 national security strategy report acknowledges, the United States also remains committed to accommodate &#8220;the emergence of a China that is peaceful and prosperous and that cooperates with us [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reciprocity is the first principle of diplomacy, and India has walked the extra mile to befriend neighbors, as underscored by its record on land and water disputes. Yet today, India lives in the world&#8217;s most-troubled neighborhood. India&#8217;s generosity on land issues has been well documented. It includes its acceptance of Burmese sovereignty over the Kabaw [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The United States recently took the Iran-sanctions monkey off India&#8217;s back: It granted India an exemption from Iran-related financial sanctions in exchange for significant cuts in Indian purchases of Iranian oil. Nevertheless, Iran continues to cast a pall over an otherwise brightening U.S.-India relationship. From India&#8217;s perspective, Iran is an important neighbor with which it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The international institutional structure has remained largely static since the mid-20th century rather than evolving with the changing power realities and challenges. Reforming and restructuring the international system poses the single biggest challenge to preserving global peace, stability and continued economic growth. A 21st-century world cannot remain indefinitely saddled with 20th-century institutions and rules. Power [...]]]></description>

Even as Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has just held detailed discussions in New Delhi, an increasing number of analysts in Washington have already concluded that the overhyped relationship is losing momentum. The skeptics [...]]]></description>
