The election of Donald Trump and the emergence of his "America First" ideology represents a significant challenge to the Post world war II liberal international order and its underlying premise that a rules-based global system benefits U.S. interests in the long run. Trump's "America First" approach, characterized by a mix of economic isolationism and an interventionist military and political strategy under constrained resources, created significant strategic unpredictability in global affairs.

From Code to Coal: The Energy Footprint of India’s Digital Ambitions

Reconsidering the Impact: Why the Swiss Court’s AT1 Ruling Has Limited Relevance for the YES Bank Case

A ruling by the Swiss Federal Administrative Court on October 14, holding as illegal the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority’s decision to write down Credit Suisse’s Additional Tier 1 bonds, as part of the state-directed merger of troubled Credit Suisse into rival banking giant UBS, has revived hopes in India for those pursuing a case in the Supreme Court against the similar writing down of AT1 bonds issued by Yes Bank, as part of its salvage operation.
