A long lost post for ICSR looking at terrorism in China, something that I had actually drafted initially prior to the recent events out in Hotan. There it now seems as though the government is saying that a “flag of jihad” was being flown, though I have not seen reference to the East Turkestan groups [...]

A new post for Whose World Order? this time based around comments I heard at an event I attended in Shanghai. Very interesting debate, more of which will feature in future posts once I get around to writing them. Note the quote that I left under the original post, a lovely quote I meant to [...]
Shanghai View: Happy Birthday CPC!
Posted: June 25, 2011 in Whose World Order?Tags: China, China domestic, CPC birthday, shanghai
A short post for Whose World Order? on the pending birthday of the CPC. I am planning on doing another one on the upcoming film that is being released to coincide with it. Will undoubtedly be a big melodrama – Chinese friends are already warning me about it. Shanghai View: Happy Birthday CPC! Date: 24th [...]

Shanghai View: What Are You Watching

A post over at Whose World Order? for ECFR after a protracted silence on that front due to travel. Am going to hammer out a few more of these over the next few days as we have quite a busy period here in Shanghai with an upcoming conference I am helping run which should produce [...]
Operation Gird – Counter-Terrorism Policing in Tense Times

A new post for Free Rad!cals, looking at the recently concluded investigation in the UK by the independent reviewer of counter-terrorism legislation that looked into the case of a group of “environment cleaners” who were picked up ahead of the Pope’s visit to London. The investigation has thrown up some interesting information about the case, [...]
Shanghai View: Living in a Police State
Posted: May 10, 2011 in Whose World Order?Tags: China, China domestic, china security, Orwell
A somewhat inflammatory title for my latest for Whose World Order? – but oh well. Daily life feels pretty far from a police state to be honest. Addresses some points I have touched upon previously, and I am going into greater detail about in an upcoming longer piece. Shanghai View: Living in a police state [...]
A Trip to the Cold War’s Last Border
Posted: April 29, 2011 in InterpreterTags: DPRK, Seoul, South Korea, US foreign policy
A new post for the Lowy Institute’s Interpreter blog – a good foreign policy blog that does not originate in the US. About a trip I recently made to Seoul, during which I had to make a pilgrimage to the border with the North. Interesting experience and one day I guess I would like to [...]
Shanghai View: To Meet or Not to Meet

A new post for Whose World Order? at ECFR focusing on meetings in China and the importance of them. Some of the ideas hinted at will be fleshed out in a larger paper that I should be coming out in a few weeks. Shanghai View: To Meet or Not to Meet Date: 27th April 2011 | Author: Raffaello [...]
The Tipton Three: Things Not Quite Adding Up
Posted: April 27, 2011 in Free Rad!calsTags: Afghanistan, counter-radicalization, counter-terrorism, guantanamo, Pakistan, radicalization, tipton, UK, US foreign policy
A longer post for Free Rad!cals, looking in detail at the case of the Tipton Taliban (the title I had initially gone with) in the wake of the latest Wikileaks information dump. I do not think that these chaps were very serious jihadists, but more likely your archetypal jihadi tourists. Be very interested to hear [...]
