We toured synagogues, death camps and memorials in numerous countries attesting to the slaughter of six million Jews. But in 2009, the unexpected happened. We visited the…

The study of unrecognised states is, by extension, a study of small states, thus it is appropriate to operate within the…

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.
Marcel Proust

Dear Reader,

The cancellation of Obama’s visit to Moscow made compellingly clear what previously many have suspected: the current presidents of the United States and Russia are in a state of conflict.
