  • Michigan Journal of International Affairs December 2014
    Michigan Journal of International Affairs December 2014 LETTER FROM THE EDITORIAL BOARD International affairs are often described as a game. As time progresses, we carry an expectation that new participants will reveal unforeseen moves to alter its dynamics. Yet, events from this past year have cast doubt on this notion. Rather than integrating past decisions to form contemporary strategies, we have instead seen a recapitulation of earlier choices. New players have arrived at the table. But they are playing the same cards. Some of these hands have proven to be less than ideal. Despite the World Bank’s seemingly benign support of a hydroelectric dam project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Dylan Warner explains how this parallels Belgian colonial exploits of the past. Furthermore, Trevor Grayeb’s article, “Playing War,” notes that in its steps toward remilitarization, Japan has only projected an illusion of strength, as it has repeatedly done in the past, as opposed to developing a concrete foreign policy. Lastly, Evan Charney posits that the Egyptian government’s attempts to suppress the Muslim Brotherhood will fail due to the organization’s experience in having endured similar crackdowns from prior regimes. At the same time, these former ploys can occasionally be effective. In “Just Watch Me,” Cody Giddings references the similarities between Canada’s current challenges and its problems with homegrown terrorism in the 1970s and indicates that Canada should look to the policies employed decades ago to confront the problems it faces today. The “(Un)Changed Game” then does not necessarily imply a cyclical nature of former events repeating in the future.
