February 20 Redefining Russia: Putin's Agenda Whatever Putin's agenda or the ideas that drive it, Russian aggression in Ukraine has stirred up tensions not seen since the Cold War in ways that are redefining Russia and its relations with its neighbors and the world. On The Homepage In Bahrain, Arab Spring Hopes Are Freezing Over "On the fourth anniversary of protests aimed at reforming Bahrain's autocratic monarchy, recent events underscore a worrisome trend: The rights of people in the Middle East are shrinking rather than expanding," write Haleh Esfandiari and Jason Brodsky. Plunder and the Perils of Mugabe's Zimbabwe "Zimbabwe is expiring, again. More banks are failing, beer sales – a key indicator – have slumped dramatically since 2013, tourist arrivals are down, and the business confidence index is at lowest ebb since the wildly inflationary days of 2008," writes Robert Rotberg.
