Turkey in strategic balance

It is worth mentioning the Foundation for Defense of Democracies‘ thoughts on Turkey and the fact that three state banks in that country have suspended the use of the Russian Mir payment system, an alternative to Swift. Analyst Sinan Ciddi shows the complexity of the situation. Turkey, in fact, on the one hand sells drones […]

European disunity

The German choice, which introduced a kind of national price cap on gas prices, calls into question the very existence of Europe. The ‘Old Continent’ is in a very delicate geopolitical situation. It is Europe, in fact, that is paying the highest price for the war in Ukraine. The difficulties of this historical phase call […]

Technology and territorial development. Reducing inequalities

Brookings reflects on the Chips and Science Act signed in August by President Biden and land inequalities in the US. The subject is highly topical, not only in the US and not only as a contrast to other global players (China, in particular). Inequalities, in fact, are the phenomenon that, within states and globally, endangers the […]

Geostrategic environment (september 30, 2022)

THINKING COMPLEX The bureaucratic state finds itself overcome by historical processes. Dynamism, speed and radicality are the characteristics of what we experience. Think of the technological revolution. If bureaucracy is an essential part of state organisation, it is politics that must maintain a substantial difference from administration. Typical of the bureaucratic state is the progressive […]

Geostrategic environment (september 29, 2022)

THINKING COMPLEX The ‘bureaucratic state’ does not feel the breath of history because it has the sole purpose of realising ‘its own’ history. In a (radicalised) bureaucratic state, it is not possible to speak of an ‘open society’. To think that this seemingly theoretical reflection does not touch our daily destiny is a mistake. Political […]

THINKING COMPLEX  Holding together the enhancement of the national interest and the preservation of the open society is possible. We want to protect and improve democracy, the best system known. Provided, however, that we never consider it ‘accomplished’. Indeed, the difficulty/value of democracy lies in its being ‘in perpetual fulfilment’ and in the fact that […]

Geostrategic environment (september 27, 2022)

THINKING COMPLEX The future is already present. We write, with the freedom of intellectuals, a daily memo for new ruling classes. We live in a historical moment of great delicacy and, at the same time, full of great possibilities.

Geostrategic environment (september 26, 2022)

THINKING COMPLEX Our strategic question, the starting point for research, is: how to politically govern the necessary reorganisation of the planetary framework in the continuous and radical transformation of risk? The rethinking of globalisation into glocalisation must take place within the overall, and complex, framework of the transformation of risk. We ourselves generate the risk […]

All that is taken up here, in the complexity of open sources, does not necessarily reflect the opinion of The Global Eye THINKING COMPLEX We wrote in september 24’s thinking complex about the need to look at regional perspectives in international relations, overcoming the limitations of nation states without demeaning their interests.

Geostrategic environment (september 24, 2022)

All that is taken up here, in the complexity of open sources, does not necessarily reflect the opinion of The Global Eye THINKING COMPLEX Thinking complex, two words must be dwelt on: globalisation and risk. While we should ask ourselves what can and should be the future of globalisation (in an already evident reconfiguration of […]
