The Week Ahead

Here’s what to look out for in the week of May 25: Calls are increasing in the U.S. for a new Iraq strategy, Yemen peace talks are held in Geneva, Southeast Asia attempts to find a solution to its migrant crisis, and soccer’s governing body holds a presidential election.

U.S. Strategy Shift in Iraq

Pressure is mounting on President Barack Obama to switch strategies in Iraq after Islamic State forces captured the key city of Ramadi and made gains in Syria. The administration has scaled back its near-term ambitions by delaying plans for an offensive to retake the northern Iraqi city of Mosul. Some are calling for the administration to do more, including aggressively arming Sunni tribes and Peshmerga forces who oppose Islamic State.

Diplomats Seek End to Yemen Conflict

Talks for a diplomatic solution to fighting in Yemen will begin on May 28 in Geneva, in what could be the first resumption of political dialogue since Saudi Arabia began a campaign of airstrikes in the Arab country in March. Only Yemeni parties will be invited to the talks, at least initially, as has been the case with previous U.N. dialogues addressing the country’s political stability.

Blatter Poised for FIFA Re-election
On Friday, delegates from across the world will convene in Zurich to elect a president to lead FIFA, the sport’s global governing body, for the next four years. Joseph “Sepp” Blatter, one of the most embattled figures in sports, stands poised to be elected for a fifth consecutive term, underscoring the consequences of an election system that has drawn harsh criticism over the years.

China's Islands to Dominate Singapore Summit

Singapore will host the Shangri-La Dialogue, an annual gathering of defense ministers and military top brass from Asia and beyond, from Friday to Sunday. One issue is certain to dominate: China’s island-building projects in the South China Sea, and their implications for regional security. Last year’s event was short on dialogue and long on squabbling, but the 2015 edition promises to be even spicier, with China having intensified its efforts to secure control of the disputed sea over the past year.

Literary Buzz at BookCon

The literary cousin of New York Comic Con, BookCon is expected to draw 15,000 to 20,000 people to New York’s Javits Center next weekend, where best-selling authors John Green and James Patterson will mingle with fans. The show is expanding to two days this year after debuting in 2014 as a one-day affair. The industry is looking to BookCon as a new way to generate online buzz for upcoming titles ahead of the fall and holiday seasons.

Southeast Asia Zeroes In on Migrant Crisis

Myanmar is likely to come under intense pressure to do more to improve the human rights and living conditions of its Muslim Rohingya minority at a multinational meeting to address Southeast Asia’s refugee crisis in Bangkok on Friday. Neighbors including Malaysia and Thailand blame Myanmar’s refusal to accept the 1 million or so Rohingyas who live in the country as citizens as the main reason why so many have tried to flee to build a new life overseas, often in Malaysia.
