English Summary

The 2025 Chatham House Prize has been awarded to Sudan’s Emergency Response Rooms (ERRs) for their vital humanitarian work during the country's ongoing civil war between the SAF and RSF. Operating in areas often inaccessible to international organizations, these grassroots networks provide essential food, water, and medical supplies while maintaining critical infrastructure under significant risk. This recognition underscores the indispensable role of localized, impartial mutual aid groups in addressing one of the world's largest displacement and humanitarian crises.

中文摘要

2025年查塔姆研究所獎（Chatham House Prize）已頒予蘇丹的「緊急應對小組」（Emergency Response Rooms, ERRs），以表彰其在該國蘇丹武裝部隊（SAF）與快速支援部隊（RSF）內戰期間所做出的關鍵人道主義貢獻。這些草根網絡在國際組織往往難以進入的地區運作，在面臨重大風險的情況下提供必要的糧食、飲水及醫療物資，並維持關鍵基礎設施。此項殊榮凸顯了在地化且公正的互助團體在應對全球最嚴重的流離失所與人道危機之一時，發揮了不可或缺的作用。

U.S. Navy Orders Low-cost Missiles to Expand Fleet, Allied Long-Range Maritime Strike Capabilities (USNI)

2026-07-24 | china_indopacific | 2026-W30 | Topics: China, Indo-Pacific, Middle East, NATO, Nuclear, Taiwan, Ukraine, United States

The U.S. Navy is prioritizing the procurement of low-cost, long-range cruise missiles through programs like CHAOS and CAMS to significantly expand strike capabilities for both its own fleet and allied partners. This strategic shift provides affordable precision munitions capable of striking targets up to 1,000 nautical miles, addressing critical stockpiles depleted by recent conflicts. By developing these systems, the U.S. aims to overcome procurement delays faced by allies (such as Japan and Taiwan) who rely on older missile designs. Ultimately, this initiative strengthens allied deterrence and bolsters long-range maritime strike capabilities necessary for potential conflict with China.

Hormuz Transits Remain Low, Houthis Resume Attacks in Red Sea (USNI)

2026-07-24 | middle_east | 2026-W30 | Topics: China, Middle East, Russia, Trade, Ukraine, United States

Escalating tensions between Iran and the U.S., coupled with renewed Houthi blockades in the Red Sea, have severely disrupted critical shipping chokepoints like the Strait of Hormuz. Key evidence includes sharply reduced transit numbers and repeated attacks by Iranian-linked vessels off Oman's coast, while the Houthis enforce a maritime embargo on Saudi-linked ships. Strategically, this instability threatens global energy markets, forcing major powers to weigh their import needs. The continued volatility suggests that both Iran and the U.S. are willing to absorb significant economic pain to gain geopolitical leverage over regional stability.

The Small Suffer What They Must? (Foreign Affairs)

2026-07-23 | china_indopacific | 2026-W30 | Topics: China, Climate, Indo-Pacific, Middle East, Nuclear, Russia, Trade, Ukraine, United States

The article argues that smaller states are becoming disproportionate victims of a collapsing global order, as great powers increasingly erode international law through unilateral actions, tariffs, and geopolitical coercion. Key evidence includes the neutering of institutions like the WTO and the withdrawal of global public goods (e.g., development aid), leaving small nations vulnerable to economic barriers and instability. For policy, the text stresses that while smaller states must collaborate to reinforce international norms and strengthen their collective voice, great powers must commit to reforming existing institutions rather than undermining them for short-term strategic gains.

The Iran Cease-Fire Was Doomed to Fail (Foreign Affairs)

2026-07-22 | middle_east | 2026-W30 | Topics: Europe, Middle East, Nuclear, Russia, Trade, Ukraine, United States

The article argues that standalone, transactional diplomatic bargains—such as the recent US-Iran cease-fire—are inherently doomed to fail because they postpone resolution rather than addressing the root causes of conflict. The failure stems from a global shift away from structured multilateralism toward narrow, opportunistic deals, which allows warring parties to merely pause fighting while preparing for the next escalation. This trend increases regional instability by leaving fundamental disputes unresolved (e.g., the core security dilemma between Iran and the West). Policymakers must therefore recognize that relying on personal access or quick fixes is insufficient; sustained conflict resolution requires robust institutional frameworks and comprehensive political compromise.

When China Gets Its Own Mythos (Foreign Affairs)

2026-07-22 | defense | 2026-W30 | Topics: China, Cybersecurity, Nuclear, Russia, Taiwan, Trade, Ukraine, United States

Advanced AI models are fundamentally transforming cyber warfare, enabling adversaries to find and exploit critical infrastructure vulnerabilities at an unprecedented scale. While U.S. defenders currently hold a lead, China is rapidly closing this gap by acquiring capabilities through illicit means like adversarial distillation and chip smuggling, ensuring any developed offensive tech goes directly to the state apparatus. This poses an immediate threat of widespread physical compromise across essential systems (power, water) that current infrastructure cannot withstand. Policymakers must recognize the extremely short window remaining to implement dramatic, preemptive policy shifts in cyber defense and harden structurally weak critical infrastructure before adversaries achieve parity.
