Dr Sonal Devesh examines the contradictions at the heart of American ocean policy and its implications for the global blue economy. While the United States leads in marine science, fisheries management, and offshore energy, it has often resisted binding international frameworks governing oceans, climate, plastics, and deep-sea mining. The article argues that this selective approach weakens global governance, creates environmental risks, and increases geopolitical instability. Drawing on recent developments, including the closure of the Strait of Hormuz in 2026, it explores why sustainable ocean governance requires consistent international cooperation and stronger commitments to shared legal and environmental responsibilities worldwide today.

The article calls for a broader conversation that addresses both the realities facing migrants and the structural conditions that compel many people to leave their homes.

Since 2021, the Communist Party’s Elke Kahr has been mayor of Austria’s second-largest city, Graz. In local elections June 28, voters passed a positive verdict on her five years in power, giving the Communists an even stronger majority.

Since the war on terror, the US Army has been increasingly lax in allowing neo-Nazis and white supremacists to join. It’s allowing them to gain combat experience and lay the basis for a militarized far right.

Artificial intelligence has been built by robbing the collective work of humanity. The public built AI — we should own it, not a handful of billionaires.

From Europe to the Gulf states, Indian migrant workers are being recruited for the most insecure, low-paid, and dangerous jobs. The story begins at home, where India’s caste system produces a labor force vulnerable to the most extreme exploitation.

The Trump administration claims that Europe is being invaded by migrants. In reality, the real flow of invaders comes from across the Atlantic as the US far right tries to spread its poisonous agenda with boatloads of cash.

Being disastrously wrong about virtually every aspect of the Iran war has not stopped an army of hawkish pundits from continuing to try to shape US policy on the matter. From Ben Shapiro to Mark Dubowitz, here are eight of the wrongest.
