The Colombian oil industry had many ups and downs in 2020, with the Ministry of Mines and Energy reporting that production fell by 11.6 percent in the first 11 months of the year versus the same period in 2019. The energy industry comprises approximately four percent of Colombia's GDP, and the countries reliance on this sector made it especially vulnerable to the unforeseen headwinds of 2020.

President Joe Biden is tired of dealing with the Middle East — and, barely a month into his tenure, the region has noticed.

Not long ago I wrote in these pixels that there is a "beautiful stability" to U.S. foreign policy. In general, that's a good thing. Consensus popular and elite sentiments toward policy discourage Washington from swerving too wildly when a new presidential...

The reasons why the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) avoided total war, let alone a nuclear exchange, during their armed conflict in the autumn of 2025 remain a source of dispute. What is clearer is why the Sino-American Littoral War broke out, and what course it took. The United States lost part of its position in Asia, while China found its gains an unexpected burden.
