Opinion, News, Analysis, Video and Polls. If Joe Biden defeats Donald Trump in November, the question he will face is not whether to restore the liberal international order.

MAFIA POLITICS RETURN TO TURKEY There was a moment a decade ago when it appeared that the mafia’s influence over Turkish politics had ended. Since the 1970s, individuals from Turkey’s underworld had been the focus of a series of scandals that rocked the country’s political establishment. FOR ISRAEL’S NEW GOVERNMENT, CHANCES AT SURVIVAL ARE SLIM The ideological differences within Israel’s new unity government will likely lead to its early demise — leaving open the potential of a more strongly right-wing Israeli government to take its place that would risk stoking more unrest in the Palestinian territories and further straining Israel’s relations abroad.On June 2, Israeli opposition parties announced the formation of the country KREMLIN DOESN'T THINK EU EVEN MERITS DIALOGUE If one sees Europe this way, what is the point of engaging in dialogue with it?
