Playing the Long Game

Available for over a year

Pascale Harter introduces insights, analysis, and personal experiences from correspondents and writers around the world. In this edition: Jonah Fisher analyses Aung San Suu Kyi's long game for power: how she outwitted Myanmar's military junta, and ended up with a fistful of governmental posts for herself despite being denied the country's Presidency; Rachel Wright asks whether, as the UN prepares to debate global narcotics policy at a special assembly session in New York, the world has tired of the war on drugs, and is eager to try other tactics; In southern Spain, Nick Beake visits what must be some of the world's most nurturing and holistic youth detention centres, and hears about the philosophy which governs them and their inmates; and James Jeffrey runs - or more likely jogs - alongside the hyenas who roam wild around Ethiopia's capital, Addis Ababa.
