Wellness and health, there are many slices to the pie. Focusing on the Health Sector alone is not sufficient, one has to think about the economic sector and we talked about this, economy, education, the physical environment, climate. And also remembering social history and how that influences the way the people respond to current challenges. So the u. S. Proposed project under the Arctic Council was called reducing the incidence of suicide in indigenous groups, or rising sun. The context for this was remembering that as ive shown you in the first slides, theres an elevated risk of suicide in these remote rural arctic communities. We also are talking about communities with considerable Cultural Diversity and often very small populations. So the standard approaches that researchers tend to use to evaluate the efficacy and effectiveness of interventions is quite challenging. What might be a way to get around some of those things . There are also important assumptions and those are that ef
All the elements of russian power, the dime concept i think were all familiar with as an acronym, in order to bring about that restoration and preservation of his power, and the point of this whole operation, therefore is not to achieve some final state but to develop these tools as you have called them, instruments of power, others would say. In order to keep the game going because that is how russia sees the world as being in any case. And second, this is the the only way that it can maximize what is the condition of its great power and the regime at home that is a fully independent, sovereign great power, which is what it says it is and wants to be recognized as. But that doesnt have to answer to anybody either at home or abroad. And thats the strategic objective. I think that things thus become much more clear to the analysts, and i think theyll become clearer to you and you can overcome the clim ma of whether hes a tactician or a strategist. The tactics serve the objective and the
But perhaps even more important is that i think we have an obligation to do that. I dont think we can shirk our responsibilities have that kind of strength of economic and military and having the kind of history and representing the kind of values that we do is an obligation on our part to continue to strive to play a leadership role in world affairs. Can we do it alone . No. Absolutely not. Its we dont have that power commensurate to what we talked about. But we should not want to. The various aspects, there is no possible way you will be able to deal with them except in partnership with other countries. We are entering into an era of mutuality an era of interdependence and i think if he does to take this new era very seriously and crew responsibility. I am confident really that under the circumstances we face today and provided that we continue to keep perfecting our own society and work closely with her friends around the world that we can continue to play the kind of strong leaders
Priority of American Foreign policy. Among elites, its 29 . That is a huge divide. Its the largest divide, by the way, in this poll. The only one thats even close is Climate Change, which the league thinks is a more important issue than americans. The odd element is if you look at American Foreign policy, particularly in the last 12 years or so, there is very little focus in our Foreign Policy on jobs and the economy. I am reminded in the first gofor the chant was no blood for oil. You heard a little of this in 2003 in the iraq war. I think of that now i dont mean to be overly flippant, but i wish we actually thought this was about oil. Then you should actually justify all the blood we expended. But its not. We havent fought the war these last 12 years for economic reasons. I would argue that the wars have undermined our economy dramatically. There isnt a real connection between our Foreign Policy agenda and the economy, which is what you would think your Foreign Policy should be focus
