Last week s Democratic Party capture of the U.S. Senate has focused minds on the implications for President-elect Joe Biden s domestic policy.

Biden is no stranger to massive foreign policy problems. In 2009, the in-tray for him and then-President Barack Obama was widely acknowledged as perhaps the most daunting of any White House team in the post-war era, ranging from Iraq and Afghanistan to tackling climate change.
