\"29<\/a>Did Macbeth have PTSD? Back in the capital, my first pick\u00a0is a provocative take by sociology professor Anthony King<\/a> on one of Shakespeare’s most infamous characters. King’s analysis\u00a0dissects\u00a0Macbeth’s actions throughout the ‘Scottish play’ and relates them to his experiences in battle.<\/p>\n

The New Delhi-based\u00a0Observer Research Foundation\u00a0has\u00a0released a new report on the build-up of military forces (US, Japan, Australia, China and India) and naval diplomacy in the Indian Ocean region<\/a>. Penned by\u00a0Rajeswari Rajagopalan and Arka Biswas, the paper is a good introduction to the various strategic interests of the major players in the ocean before turning to the material capabilities including US assets along the African coast and the implications of power shift in the Asia Pacific.<\/p>\n

Turning to the Persian Gulf, in a new Carnegie Endowment report<\/a>, Frederic Wehrey and Richard Sokolsky\u00a0argue that a new forum of Middle East regionalism that includes Iran could potentially lower tensions in the region and complement US interests there. Short on time? Read the summary here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On Northeast Asian\u00a0dynamics, is South Korea cosying up to its alliance partner the US or leaning back towards China? Writing in Foreign Affairs<\/em>, Victor Cha argues <\/a>that Park Guen-Hye’s ‘Diplomacy 2.0’ actually intends to bring the trio closer together. In Cha’s view, her approach is a ‘new form of diplomacy cuts against the grain in Asian diplomacy, where uncontroversial and one-dimensional thinking predominates.’ Keep reading\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The struggle is over in the Indonesian province of Aceh, right? Think again. The indomitable Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict’s latest report paints a more complex picture there\u00a0with\u00a0the continued presence of armed groups<\/a>. The report focuses on the group Din Minimi, tracing its history and examining the potential for serious violence in the province as a result of the group’s complicated relationship with violent extremists and security forces. An interesting read for Indonesia watchers.<\/p>\n

Also on violent groups,\u00a0Mohammed Sinan Siyech\u00a0provides a quick snapshot of AQAP’s\u00a0new leader in Yemen<\/a> and recent developments in the group’s strength.<\/p>\n

The week marked the 50th anniversary of the passing of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1325, which highlights the unique experience of women in conflict. Over on Defense One<\/em>, chief executive of the Institute for Inclusive Security,\u00a0Evelyn Thornton, examines the way in which women are on the frontline of every battle<\/a>\u2014but not in the way that you’d think.<\/p>\n

Lastly, via the Duffelblog<\/a>, an intelligence officer in the US has lost his\u00a0job over the misuse of a classified stapler.<\/p>\n

Podcast<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this week’s addition to\u00a0the Foreign Affairs\u00a0<\/em>Unedited<\/em> series<\/a>,\u00a0Sebastian Mallaby, P\u00e9ter Krek\u00f3, Tara Zahra, Sebastian Elischer and Patrick Sykes discuss the effects of the global refugee crisis\u2014including its effect on unemployment and economic wellbeing in the EU (21 mins).<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever wondered about the US’ chemical and biological weapons program, this newly declassified video filmed in 1952<\/a> shows the Navy’s ‘offensive biological and chemical warfare’ tactics and capabilities with two specific tests with non-pathogenic agents (14mins).<\/p>\n
