\"Spying<\/a><\/figure>\n

Why isn\u2019t the Pentagon using supply drones<\/a> to move medical goods in the fight against Ebola? Over at Defense One<\/em>, Michael Auerbach argues that US military-grade drones could and should be deployed as part of Operation United Assistance to overcome logistics issues, including the disruption of supply chains by corrupt local warloards. Read his case for drones here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not as hard as you\u2019d think to operate as a spy in heavily-surveillanced China, writes Adam Brookes. Over at Foreign Policy<\/em>, Brookes discusses<\/a> some of the success stories and limitations of foreign, particularly American, espionage on Chinese targets.<\/p>\n

Malaysia\u2019s Elina Noor explains<\/a> why Malaysia can and will maintain good ties with both the United States and China. Rejecting a zero-sum approach to foreign relations, Noor says pragmatism and multilateralism are among the factors shaping Malaysia\u2019s stance. Keep reading her arguments here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Can ASEAN develop a robust nuclear energy regime?<\/a> Writing for Singapore\u2019s RSIS, Mely Caballero-Anthony, Alistair D.B. Cook, Julius Cesar Imperial Trajano and Margareth Sembiring look at the implications of Vietnam, Malaysia and Indonesia planning to diversify their respective energy sources, as well as the lessons of Fukushima for Southeast Asia.<\/p>\n

For Myanmar\/Burma watchers, Trevor Wilson presents a relatively positive assessment<\/a> of the country\u2019s reform program on the New Mandala<\/em> blog. In his view, the trajectory and extent of reforms are driven, in large measure, by the level and quality of public discourse as well as greater opposition participation in public policy reviews. Keep reading his assessment and take on the role of external actors here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Writing under a pseudonym on the UK-based blog Kings of War, <\/em>a serving British Army officer<\/a> introduces an American audience to the UK experience of training and war. The post doubles as an insight for Australian observers into British military affairs.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s time for India to punch above its weight with Japan<\/a>, write Keshav Kelkar and Marc McCrum on East Asia Forum<\/em>. In addition to the bilateral trade potential, the authors argue that the absence of serious historical tensions bode well for expanding ties.<\/p>\n

Writing for the Centre for Land Warfare Studies (CLAWS) in India, here\u2019s a piece<\/a> by Lieutenant General (rtd) Prakash Katoch worth reading for an Indian\u2019s view of US-led military operations against ISIS and the role of social media, but also for his call for the private sector to be involved in counterterrorism in cyberspace.<\/p>\n

For the humorous pick for the week, The Economist<\/em> rounds up some of the best campaign ads<\/a> from the US mid-term elections.<\/p>\n

Over at bloggingheads.tv<\/em>, Robert Wright and Jonanthan Kay discuss the recent lone-wolf attacks in Canada<\/a>, asking whether Canadians believe they\u2019re blowback and how we can make ISIS a less effective brand (42mins).<\/p>\n
