    <title>The Invisible-Border War</title>
    <description><![CDATA[A half-century after the Sino-Indian War of 1962, the countries’ mutual border remains undefined and a constant source of friction – the latest episode being a three-week incursion by Chinese troops into Indian-held territory. Other Asian countries can no longer afford to ignore their own longstanding border disputes with China.]]></description>

    <title>Managing Syria’s Meltdown</title>
    <description><![CDATA[As Russian and American diplomats prepare for a Syrian peace conference, the Middle East is experiencing convulsions not seen since the Arab Spring two years ago. Indeed, in historical terms, the Syrian crisis, not the Arab Spring, will most likely be regarded as the region's seminal event in this decade.]]></description>

    <description><![CDATA[The demise of the Roman Empire resulted from a combination of strategic overreach and excessive delegation of security responsibilities to newcomers. The question for the US today is whether it can remain the world’s leading power while delegating to others or to technological tools the task of protecting its global influence.]]></description>

    <title>Harnessing the Remittance Boom</title>
    <description><![CDATA[In Asia’s developing countries, the importance of remittances – the money that migrant workers send home to their families (many of whom live in poor and remote areas) – is immense. But, while remittances to these countries are five times higher than official aid, their potential economic-development benefits have not been realized.]]></description>

    <title>Nationalism, Madness, and Terrorism</title>
    <description><![CDATA[If we want to understand what drove the Boston Marathon bombing suspects to terrorism, the answer almost certainly does not lie in Dagestan, where the brothers lived before moving to the US, or in Chechnya's two wars in the last 20 years. Instead, the key to the Tsarnaevs’ behavior lies in developments in England 500 years ago.]]></description>

    <title>Clearing A Path Through the Brain</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Our brains are like a dense forest – a complex, seemingly impenetrable terrain of interacting neurons that mediates cognition and behavior.

    <title>The Curing Machine</title>
    <description><![CDATA[Last year, the Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded for a discovery that took 44 years to develop, and involved two different research teams.
