Raffaello Pantucci: Greater coordination on Central-South Asia would be a boon to European and US interests in the region. Unfortunately, such coordination is still lacking and we are unlikely to see a greater push from the EU. More European involvement in any sort of "civilian surge" would be welcome, but will be unrealistic until the security situation is stabilized.

Hans Kundnani: In a sense, the central question of Germany’s post war identity is of whether it constitutes a part of the West or not. As the historian Heinrich August Winkler tells it, Germany has completed its long westward journey. However, the reality is more complicated considering the increasing shift of the Federal Republic’s foreign policy towards Moscow.

Shakti Prasad Srichandan: Both the EU and India regard each other as natural partners but key interests differ. The EU’s expansion with further economic integration and India’s emergence as a global economic heavyweight have created a space for a mutually beneficial partnership that is almost complete.

Donald K. Bandler and Jakub Kulhanek: A weak Russia constitutes a liability for the future as a scenario of political and economic upheaval becomes likely. Consequently, Moscow’s weakness domestically could then become a global crisis and pose a major threat to international peace and security.

Iyad Dakka: America must give up its maverick style approach to foreign relations and finally accept the changing nature of international politics. President Obama may understand this, but now opposing parties and interest groups need to jump on board as soon as possible.

Shuja Nawaz: Following the death of Baitullah Mehsud Pakistani leaders face a number of challenges. Will they be able to make an offensive against the Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan (TTP)? Will they be able to resist US pressure to "do more" against the Afghan Taliban? Will they muster the troop strength and the resolve to move against the TTP in South Waziristan?

Robert G. Gard: Global Zero is dependent on compliance, which in turn relies on mutual trust between states in the international system that weapons will not be concealed. This appears remote and subsequently so too does the feasibility of such a goal as complete nuclear disarmament.

Dieter Dettke: Germany must take on more responsibility to shape a global system without nuclear weapons as it is in Berlin’s national interest to do so. Beginning with European & US disarmament the West can gain the moral authority it still needs to enforce the NPT regime.

Henry David Sokolski: Further proliferation of supposedly "peaceful" nuclear energy sources undermines the goal of Global Zero. We should replace the NPT concept of sharing technology in favor of limiting supplies, especially in trouble prone areas like the Middle East.
