Cold War Lessons Jul 07, 2007
JFK and the Cold War
Asia2025 interviews Theodore Sorensen - President John F Kennedy's speechwriter and outspoken critic of the Bush adminstration.
How did JFK respond to the great power tensions during his Presidency? Was he a 'gutless wonder' as Truman labelled him - or an ex-Marine all too aware of the horrors of war?
We look at peace 'back channels' during the Cold War and the lessons for today.

Somalia Jul 14, 2007
US and China in the Horn of Africa
Why is there fighting in Somalia? Why is Ethiopia the favoured power in the Horn of Africa? How much of the fighting today is about Chinese and US designs in this strategic area?
Asia2025 talks to Dr. Mohamud Abdillahi Jama, a member of the Somali American Diaspora Alliance and a former deputy Prime Minister in the Somali government.

Whose Taiwan? Jul 21, 2007
Independence or Bust
Asia2025 examines the issue of Taiwan in US-China relations.
China believes that it is part of the mainland - while the current Taiwanese President talks independence and a 'Republic of Taiwan'.
Is Taiwan the flashpoint in a new Asian theatre of war - or is the issue less important than people claim? Will Taiwan try and push independence in the lead up to the 2008 Olympics - and what will be China's response? Is the US adminstration privately supporting the Independence movement?
Asia2025 talks to Robert Ross, Professor of Political Science at Boston College about US security policy in Asia today.
