I noticed all the great work you’re doing covering think tanks, and thought you might be interested to hear that that Kenneth Lieberthal, a noted expert on China, is joining the Brookings Institution as a senior fellow and director of the John L. Thornton China Center. Lieberthal will join Brookings September 1, succeeding Jeffrey Bader, who currently serves as the senior director for Asian affairs on the White House National Security Council.
On his new position, Lieberthal said:
«I’m very pleased to be joining Brookings in this new role, having worked with Brookings scholars for many years,” Lieberthal said. “U.S.-China relations continue to evolve rapidly and now encompass the most pressing issues of our time – challenges such as climate change and clean energy, the global economic crisis, and nuclear proliferation. These issues offer crucial new opportunities to shape U.S.-China relations and influence global developments. It is an auspicious time for the Thornton China Center to play a major role in understanding China’s ongoing changes and to help to inform good public policy.”

I guess that the rule of law can only get this far. It’s fine for as long as it is in line with cultural resemblance and a «we feeling» dynamic. It all ends where national security on and the need to harness national resources (military power included) come to play on one end, and supranational interests interfere with the tranquil being of groups and individuals. EU cannot have the authority, let alone means, to compel crowds/individuals/constituencies to act forcefully in the name of supranational interests.
Nice thought for a site, you might want to change the white on black theme as it is very tiring to read this way.
