The Demise of Democracy Isn’t Here Yet (CFR)
CFR President Michael Froman analyzes the high level of participation and youth involvement in recent global elections.
The fate of democracy around the world is the subject of much debate. There are disturbing data points, particularly around press freedom, which are setting off alarms. There are worrying illiberal and authoritarian turns, concerns about election administration and integrity, and pockets of anxiety about the peaceful transfer of power. That said, there are also some notable positive data points which should not be overlooked. Just look at the developments of the last few weeks.

The Economist
The Economist’s foerecast of the midterms’ outcast. The auguries are good for Democrats
The 2026 midterms land against a backdrop the Council’s public opinion surveys have been tracking for months, offering a data-driven view of where American sentiment on foreign policy actually stands as the war in Iran, the unsettled Israel-Palestinian conflict, and growing tensions with Western allies reshape the global perception of the United States.
Join Dan Drezner, Bruce Jentleson, Leslie Vinjamuri, and Ariane Tabatabai at 12 p.m. CST on Wednesday, November 4, as they assess what the midterm results mean and what happens next.
In anticipation of the midterm elections next week, in partnership with FGS Global, the Atlantic Council convened Reading the signals: The geopolitical implications of a new Congress. Experts covered everything from energy to trade to tariffs.

For Midterm Voters, Foreign Policy Is a Pocketbook Issue
Voters are more worried about how President Donald Trump’s foreign policy choices are driving up the cost of living than about the policies themselves.
Election Day is less than a week away, and the stakes are enormous. For two years, Republicans have controlled both the White House and Congress. Democrats have been on the outside looking in as policy is decided. But now control of Congress is up for grabs. Democrats need to pick up three seats in the House or four in the Senate to return Washington to divided government.

America’s secret tech in the Strait of Hormuz (WSJ)
The battle for the Strait of Hormuz is shrouded in secrecy. But as growing numbers of ships make it through the narrow waterway, the US Navy is relying on a new generation of uncrewed boats, submarines and aerial drones to detect threats and keep its personnel out of harm’s way.
From solar-powered surveillance vessels to underwater mine-hunting drones, these systems are changing how America fights — and how it builds and buys its weapons.
How successful have these drone fleets been against Iran, and what does the US Navy have planned next?

The West’s double standard on global unrest (Alex Lo, SCMP)
Ideology, strategic interests and cultural ignorance explain
why protests in Hong Kong and beyond are viewed through a selective lens
Published: 8:30pm, 25 Oct 2026
In the early days of the student protests in France, mainstream Western media took the protesters’ claims about poor school facilities and declining resources at face value. Only when the violence spread across the country, and to some of its European neighbours, did people begin to ask whether deeper causes were at play.
Leftists blame social problems, from the cost-of-living pressures linked to the war in Ukraine to rising unemployment, especially among the young. Right-wing critics blame Islamists, antifascists, radical environmentalists and, of course, immigrants.
A Financial Times report said: “EU regulators are examining possible foreign interference and disinformation campaigns around the French riots and outbursts of violence and looting in other European countries. According to security officials, pro-Russian and far-right social media accounts linked to previous disinformation campaigns have spread violent videos in an attempt to sow more chaos. Iran and Algeria are also suspected of being behind some of the messaging, experts said.” Continue leyendo →
