Shifting Sands: The New Era of Global Security and the Euro-Atlantic’s Balancing Act

The world of global security is in a state of profound transition. For decades, the Euro-Atlantic security architecture has been underpinned by a simple, yet powerful, principle: collective defense anchored by the United States. This model, a legacy of the post-World War II era, is now facing unprecedented stress. As the US recalibrates its strategic […]

A Year in the Danube Delta: Closing My Fulbright Chapter in Romania

On September 30, I bring to a close my Fulbright grant in Romania, a year that has transformed me both as a scholar and as a person. When I began this journey, I imagined research days filled with interviews, notebooks, and data collection. What I did not yet grasp was how deeply the Danube Delta,

Finding a Missing Piece of the Danube Delta’s Story: “Timpul care se varsă în veșnicie” by Dr. Anca Simitopol

Some books are read; others are inhabited. Timpul care se varsă în veșnicie (Time That Pours into Eternity) is one of those rare works that invites you to step fully inside its world. A world of “steppe, waters, and sky,” of windswept horizons and tidal rhythms, of memory woven into geography. I first came across

We Have to Go Back: Why I Still Return to the Island of Lost

Every year, I return to the Island. Not just by pressing play on Season 1, Episode 1, but by physically going back to Oʻahu, walking through the banyan trees where the smoke monster once roared, standing on the beach where Oceanic 815 split in two, and climbing the ridges where Jack chased shadows and purpose.

Space Security in the Crosshairs: Killer Satellites and the Starlink Dilemma

Recent developments have brought the threat of space warfare into sharp focus. In mid‑2025, Russia launched a satellite, widely referred to as a “killer satellite,” that deployed a smaller object into close proximity with a U.S. intelligence satellite, behaving much like an anti‑satellite weapon. This escalation of orbital aggression underscores the increasing militarization of space.

Lives in Transit: Reading “Camping” by Lavinia Braniște Through the Lens of the Romanian Diaspora

A Quiet Story of Endurance Lavinia Braniște’s Camping is a quietly devastating novel, one that does not clamor for attention but instead sits with you, observes, and ultimately leaves you with a full heart and a sharp sense of loss. As someone who belongs to the Romanian diaspora in America, my experience of emigration is
