An in-depth analysis of power in the modern world – we analyse what it means to be a ‘great power’ in the 21st century: economic strength, military potential, technological leadership, cultural influence.
Bipolarity as a challenge and an opportunity – we look at how the competition between two superpowers shapes the global order, creates risks for small and medium-sized countries, and opens up room for manoeuvre.
