Can Vietnam’s new president check the power of its party chief?
Vietnam's political landscape is currently dominated by a power-sharing arrangement between the military and public security sectors, with the Politburo largely composed of representatives from these groups. The new president, a four-star general, is seen as a potential counterbalance to the influence of domestic security hawks. However, the concentration of power remains a concern, with former public security minister To Lam's motivations appearing more self-serving than ideologically driven, contrasting with his predecessor Trong's focus on restoring socialist morality.

Under the shadow of PMO
The article examines the evolving power dynamics within the Indian government, focusing on the diminishing role of the Cabinet Secretary as the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) gains more influence. Historically, the Cabinet Secretary was a pivotal role in coordinating government functions, but over time, especially under strong prime ministers like Indira Gandhi and Narendra Modi, the PMO has become the central power hub. The article highlights the historical context and key figures involved in this shift, noting that the Cabinet Secretary's role has become more symbolic as the parliamentary system leans towards a more prime ministerial nature.

Why Do Rich and Powerful People Become Abusers? Because They Can
The article discusses the prevalence of sexual abuse among the rich and powerful, highlighting high-profile cases such as those involving Larry Nassar, the Catholic Church, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Jeffrey Epstein. It argues that systemic factors, rather than individual failings, enable such abuse, with wealth and power often shielding perpetrators from consequences. The piece suggests that neoliberalism has fostered an environment where extreme wealth is not only aspirational but seen as virtuous, allowing individuals like Epstein and Maxwell to exploit others without reproach. The article calls for a focus on systemic change rather than individual motives to prevent future abuses.

Power is Nothing but a Social Construct

It argues that power is fragile and can be disrupted when collective belief shifts, as seen in historical events like the collapse of the Soviet Union. The piece highlights the role of perception in shaping power dynamics and suggests that true power lies within the collective will of the people, which can shape and reshape the conduits of power in society.
