(US) Expansion of Plug-in Hybrids Not Going Smoothly President Obama's ambitious goal to ramp up the plug-in hybrid fleet is unlikely to be achieved, due to the higher price than conventional cars and the drop in domestic gasoline prices. 2. (EU) Signing of the International Energy Charter In May 2015, the International Energy Charter (IEC) was signed off. Whether the Energy Union promoted by the European Commission and the conventional Energy Charter Treaty (ECT) framework will develop side-by-side or compete with each other must be closely monitored. 3. (China) Working Hard to Upgrade the Quality of Oil Products The government decided to move forward the introduction of an auto fuel standard equivalent to EURO5 from 2018 to 2017. The selection and restructuring of regional refineries and the establishment of a powerful monitoring and surveillance system are the keys to quickly improving quality. 4. (Middle East) Saudi Arabia Undergoes Major Personnel Changes Whether and how much Saudi Arabia's personnel changes will affect its oil policy is attracting much attention.

  • Joko Widodo's Digital Diplomacy: a Prospect And
    Sasha Syaifani & Naaimatur Rofiani Qubba Joko Widodo’s Digital Diplomacy: A Prospect and Challenge for Indonesia’s Digital Diplomacy towards Middle Power Sasha Syaifani & Naaimatur Rofiani Qubba Universitas Airlangga Abstract Indonesia is known as a country whose people massively use social media. It is currently one of the largest internet users in the world, especially social media. President of Indonesia, Joko Widodo, (famously called ‘Jokowi’) also tries to ‘fit in’ to the trend of social media across Indonesia. Jokowi has several social media accounts, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube. He even publishes a lot of his works, including his meeting agenda with other states’ leaders. Jokowi sometimes uploads some video blogs or ‘vlogs’ which some of them are collaborations with leaders of powerful countries, such as King Salman Abdul Aziz of Saudi Arabia, Emmanuel Macron of France, and many others. Therefore, the authors consider this as a great opportunity for Indonesia to start digital diplomacy. Through literature study, the authors will provide a broader analysis of prospect and challenge of Indonesia’s digital diplomacy. The findings showed that digital diplomacy implemented by Jokowi has a good prospect albeit many challenges. Moreover, it was also discovered that this type of diplomacy could bring some threats to Indonesia. Keywords: digital diplomacy, Joko Widodo, Indonesia, social media, politics Indonesia dikenal sebagai negara pengguna media sosial dalam secara besar. Indonesia saat ini merupakan salah satu negara pengguna internet terbesar di dunia, khususnya pada sosial media. Presiden Indonesia saat ini, Joko Widodo, atau yang lebih dikenal sebagai Jokowi, juga mulai memasuki tren sosial media di Indonesia.

  • Why Middle Eastern Leaders Are Talking to Putin, Not Obama by Dennis Ross
    MENU Policy Analysis / Articles & Op-Eds Why Middle Eastern Leaders Are Talking to Putin, Not Obama by Dennis Ross May 8, 2016 Also available in Arabic ABOUT THE AUTHORS Dennis Ross Dennis Ross, a former special assistant to President Barack Obama, is the counselor and William Davidson Distinguished Fellow at The Washington Institute. Articles & Testimony Russia is less dominant militarily but more willing to act, and that has changed the dynamics in the region. he United States has significantly more military capability in the Middle East today than Russia -- America has T 35,000 troops and hundreds of aircraft; the Russians roughly 2,000 troops and, perhaps, 50 aircraft -- and yet Middle Eastern leaders are making pilgrimages to Moscow to see Vladimir Putin these days, not rushing to Washington. Two weeks ago, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu traveled to see the Russian president, his second trip to Russia since last fall, and King Salman of Saudi Arabia is planning a trip soon. Egypt's president and other Middle Eastern leaders have also made the trek to see Putin. Why is this happening, and why on my trips to the region am I hearing that Arabs and Israelis have pretty much given up on President Barack Obama? Because perceptions matter more than mere power: The Russians are seen as willing to use power to affect the balance of power in the region, and we are not. Putin's decision to intervene militarily in Syria has secured President Bashar Assad's position and dramatically reduced the isolation imposed on Russia after the seizure of Crimea and its continuing manipulation of the fighting in Ukraine.

This year alone has seen sustained media interest in events in the Persian Gulf, including protests, the Iran plane crash and ongoing diplomatic conflicts. To comprehend this vibrant geographical area and its politics, one must gain insight into the region's history, the construction and interconnectedness of its different societies and cultures, the role of religion and the political bodies that exist in the Gulf. As such, the Council Library has compiled this reading list relating to the Persian Gulf. This extensive list has been created both for people who are new to the complex geopolitics of the Persian Gulf, and for those already familiar with the region and its geopolitics. It consists of various books and e-books, articles, podcast episodes, videos and think tank publications, varying from two-minutes' reading, listening or viewing time to more immersive material that can be accessed via the Council Library's online catalogue, Eureka. Resources selected by the Council Libraries Please note: This bibliography is not exhaustive; it provides a selection of resources made by the Council Library.

    PROFILE KING SALMAN BIN ABDULAZIZ AL SAUD INTELLIGENCE REPORT AUTHOR: CHRISTOPH ERASMY DIRECTORATE ------------------- REFERENCE NUMBER: ----------- REFERENCE TITLE: ------------------------------- DATE: 09.06.2017 WORDS: 1160 Note: This paper was written for the course Understanding Political Leadership at Utrecht University in 2017. PROFILE OF SALMAN BIN ABDULAZIZ AL SAUD Key findings • King Salman has a positive view on the nature of politics • The King seeks to achieve cooperative goals by pursuing cooperative tactics • The King’s perception of the ability to control historical events has increase as his focus on cooperation has decreased • In situations of conflict, the personality model suggests that the King favors settling over deadlock or submission. • Nevertheless, in cases of a failure to settle, the King will attempt to dominate or deadlock before submitting to anybody. BACKGROUND MEMORANDUM TO RECIPIENT On Monday, June 5th, to the surprise of the international community, five Arab countries announced their plan to isolate Qatar by cutting existing diplomatic relations as well as economic ties with the Arabian monarchy.1 The actions, spearheaded by Saudi Arabia and justified in reference to allegation of support for terrorism and Iran by Qatar, illustrate the sudden rift between the different Middle Eastern countries.2 The decision by the Saudi monarchy of King Salman to close its borders and expel Qatari nationals is even more surprising considering that just over six months ago the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques, King Salman, visited the Qatari capital of Doha to discuss cooperation and the deepening of economic relations with the Emir.3 Symbolizing the good relations between the two nations, the Saudi King received the highest honor of the country when he 1 Anne Bernard and David D.

    Egypt Daily Update: Trump Administration Reportedly Tables Brotherhood Terrorist Designation March 28, 2017 Trump Administration Reportedly Tables Brotherhood Terrorist Designation Parliament’s Human Rights Committee Discusses State Department Report Cartoon of the Day: Budget Top Stories Trump Administration Reportedly Tables Brotherhood Terrorist Designation According to a report from the Washington Times, the Trump administration is not currently considering moving forward with designating the Muslim Brotherhood as a foreign terrorist organization. The report is based on information from “U.S. officials close to [the] heated debate inside the administration over the status of the global Islamist movement.” The report adds, “While the White House has declined to comment publicly, officials speaking on condition of anonymity say the administration backed down from a plan to designate the Brotherhood last month after an internal State Department memo advised against it because of the movement’s loose-knit structure and far-flung political ties across the Middle East.” Numerous analysts and experts across the political spectrum, including outspoken Brotherhood critics, came out against the potential designation.This news comes as an Egyptian delegation, composed of a variety of public figures including current MPs, met with members of the American Coptic Association (ACA) in New York and New Jersey on Monday. According to delegation head Ahmed al-Fadaly, the group intends to lobby U.S. government officials and Members of Congress to designate the Muslim Brotherhood a Foreign Terrorist Organization. In other news, after discussing amendments to the 2013 protest law yesterday, Parliament postponed voting on the amendment due to the lack of a quorum.

CSPAN Suspends Steve Scully for Lying About His Twitter Account Being Hacked - Statement WASHINGTON, October 15 (Sputnik) - The cable network C-SPAN said in a statement on Thursday that it has suspended its lead reporter Steve Scully after admitting he lied about his Twitter account being hacked when he publicly reached out to former US President Donald Trump’s aide Anthony Scaramucci on the social media platform. "Starting immediately, we have placed Steve on administrative leave," the statement said. "After some distance from this episode, we believe in his ability to continue to contribute to C-SPAN." On October 8, Scully asked Scaramucci in a now-deleted tweet whether he should respond to Trump after Trump criticized him on national television that day. Scully was originally set to server as the moderator in the now-canceled second presidential debate that would have taken place on Thursday night. Scully said in a statement that he sent the tweet to Scaramucci because he was frustrated over criticism he received on social media and from the US president. CSPAN said Scully informed the network and the Commission on Presidential Debates on Wednesday that his hacking claim was false. Trump said in a statement the second presidential debate would have been rigged and that the Commission has not treated his re-election campaign fairly.
