Dear Reader,

Our July/August 2023 issue is available online today. It includes a special series of pieces that explore where the war in Ukraine is headed—and potential paths to an endgame. This issue also covers the decline of global inequality, the increasingly complicated U.S.-Indian relationship, Beijing’s weaponization of history, and much more. Start reading below:

Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Erica Frantz discuss why the hard road to a better Russia could run through a Ukrainian victory.
Radek Sikorski argues that it is time for Europe to get serious about its own security.
Lucan Ahmad Way warns that today’s dictatorships are more resilient than they seem.
Mark Leonard argues that Beijing is betting on the failure of the global order—and explains why that gamble might pay off.
Julia Preston examines the broken asylum system at the heart of the U.S. migrant crisis.
Daron Acemoglu discusses how inequality and economic malaise fuel democratic decay.
