Another exhibit of the prominence of the security frame in post-global discourse; but where the notion of security is geared exclusively towards defence. Many who find themselves in a difficult economic situation in reading this will ask: “Secure at home? Really?”

This fascinating new research overturns longstanding assumptions. It finds that lower-income groups are more concerned about the environment and prefer environmental protection over economic growth, compared to higher-income groups. Data from the USA.

Protection and security have indeed become "master frames" of contemporary politics. Unfortunately less and less in the sense of social security and social protection; more and more in the sense of national defence and rearmament.
Prime Minister Keir Starmer of Britain on Monday promised to bring his country to "war-fighting readiness" as he announced plans to build up to 12 new attack submarines and invest in nuclear and other weaponry as part of a new military strategy aimed at deterring an increasingly hostile Russia.

Trump's Golden Dome and Stargate (not to speak of Musk's deranged Mars ambitions) alongside China's mega-infrastructure projects (high speed rail etc) are proof that we are not just in a time of MAGA, but also of MEGA. Megalomania, a typical trait of "high modernism", is coming back BIG time.

Trump appears to have no qualms about undermining the foundations of US cultural and scientific leadership. If this continues, it is not far-fetched to imagine a future where China’s top unis particularly those in the C9 League - become more appealing to int'l students than Ivy League institutions.
