Artificial intelligence (AI) developments, which refer to intelligent computers and machines (equaling or surpassing human intelligence), have become increasingly widespread and commonplace.
What is the Future for the ‘China Governance Model’?
February 12, 2014 - Politics in Spires
The recent leadership turnover in China took place against the backdrop of increased political and social tension. China’s leaders closely monitor not only the rise of social media, but the impact it has had on the Arab world. What they should infer from both developments is a growing demand for human dignity. Its “dignity deficits” may well be China’s Achilles heel.

November 7, 2013 - Georgetown Journal
The Arab Spring is perhaps the most important transformative movement since the revolutions that swept through Eastern Europe in 1989. For many countries of the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), the rapid collapse of regimes in 2011 produced radical changes in domestic, regional, and international politics, marking a definite departure from their former regimes.

It is ironic and indeed counterintuitive that our own human nature has a huge potential to drive us towards physical and cognitive enhancements that may completely alter the characteristics of our species. As I have outlined in a previous work, human nature is defined by emotional amoral egoism.
China and the United States: A Symbiosis
September 27, 2013 - The National Interest
The flurry of speculation and polemic that has characterized U.S.-Chinese relations in the past decade or so reached a new intensity with the leadership turnover in China earlier this year. As Barack Obama started his second term in office and Xi Jinping assumed power in March, renewed debates emerged about the future of U.S.-Chinese relations, still perceived as the two greatest competitors for hegemonic status in international affairs.
Dignity Deficit Fuels Uprisings in the Middle East
September 10, 2013 - Yale Global
The way the political situation has evolved in the countries that experienced the so-called Arab Spring has created despondency in some quarters.

Arab Spring Transitions Need Home Grown Solutions
August 7, 2013 - IPI Global Observatory
The new era of transition ushered in by the Arab Spring across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has brought opportunities for external actors to reset their foreign policies towards the countries of the region. However, Arab states accept aid reluctantly from the outside, as mistrust still abounds. Externally driven initiatives tend to be viewed as potential vehicles for influence or subterfuges for the de-Islamization and meddling in the Arab world.
