		<description><![CDATA[This week Brendan Borrell suggested in the New York Times that it was time to reconsider the status of Antarctica.
Antarctica is now effectively an international, stateless, demilitarized zone, on the basis of the 1959 Antarctic Treaty.  Many countries have land claims, but they effectively put them aside when they sign the treaty, as most [...]]]></description>

&#8220;Strategic reassurance&#8221; seems to chart a different course. Senior officials liken the policy to the British accommodation of a rising United States at the end of the 19th century, which entailed ceding the Western Hemisphere to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Io9 has a useful review of George Friedman&#8217;s The Next 100 Years.
We&#8217;re in for the return of Cold War politics, the rise of new dominant powers, and a full-blown space war, according to a new book. What are the chances his dire predictions will come true?
In the details, the chances are virtually nil, of course. [...]]]></description>

Now, &#8220;once and for all&#8221; is an extreme criterion, but most people seem to take the question to mean, &#8220;Is peace possible?  Might wars stop?&#8221;  And a variety [...]]]></description>

People are not that certain of China&#8217;s rise.  Majorities or pluralities in only half of the countries surveyed &#8220;believe that China will &#8212; or already has &#8212; replaced the U.S. as the world&#8217;s leading superpower.&#8221;  Sensibly, only [...]]]></description>

The European Union is sending a force of 20 warships to patrol around the Horn of Africa, including countries such as Spain and Sweden, an unusual display of military power by the organization.
