🗞️ The ASA Magazine presents two new articles written by Mai Linh Neefjes and Valentina Cerutti.

🇺🇸🇨🇳 The first article examines how strategic ambiguity has helped preserve peace over Taiwan, while questioning whether this delicate balance can survive rising US-China tensions, shifting deterrence, and Taiwan’s changing strategic importance.

🇧🇪 The second article explores whether ecocide can be addressed through international criminal law before environmental destruction fully materialises, focusing on attempt liability, foreseeable ecological harm, and Belgium’s recognition of ecocide as an international crime.

The ASA Magazine presents you three new articles written by Mai Linh Neefjes, India Zirner, and Valentina Cerutti!

The first article explores the legal limits of the term “climate refugee” through the case of Bangladesh and India, questioning how international refugee law responds to climate-related cross-border movement.

The second article examines Viktor Orbán’s political defeat in Hungary and explores what this shift could mean for EU unity, Russia’s influence in Europe, and the future of European security coordination.

The third article analyses how the EU transformed international climate commitments into binding sustainable finance rules, highlighting the role of the SFDR, Taxonomy Regulation and CSRD in shaping global financial standards.
