With Putin’s Russia we are harvesting what we sowed: first, we were friendly with him (1999-2003); then, we almost ignored him (2004-2010); then, we antagonized him (2011-2014); eventually, we underestimated his capacity to unravel Europe and the world order (2015- 2021). Now we must face a very dangerous war which may end up into a new European chaos. Building a new European order is inevitable. What is Russia’s future going to be? If we look at the history we see that building a “Westernized” Russia has always been a lovely pipedream. And whether Russia was included in the new order or not, European peace will continue to be shaped by its long-term strategic interests.

Like often in the history, the world order is shifting, and nobody can pass a meaningful masterplan. However, global polarization is on the way and would eventually shape the new world order. The current fence sitters might face tough dilemmas. A plethora of crises will mark the road. There is no going back but only an uncertain way ahead. This isn't Cold War replayed. The emerging multipolar world is in limbo, while new poles are building up. A multi-regional world is the likeliest future of the international system.

From the EGF Head of Research
The Russian invasion of Ukraine by what it called a “special military operation” has crushed the European order, as we had known it, and triggered a huge leap to insecurity for All. Right now there is blatant lack of geopolitical vision on how a new, stable European order should look like. We must develop a new realistic vision and proactive common policy, inclusive of how to deal with Russia’s and the other East European states’ legitimate security interests and concerns.

Global VS. Regional Geopolitics & Geoeconomics: Can the 21st century world order still be managed at global level or is it to be split into regional subsystems, designed either by political, technological and ideological criteria or by the outcomes of economic and proxy-wars?
From the EGF Head of Research
The global energy crisis has made the point that climate change policies have major geopolitical consequences. From this perspective, the green energy transition should be driven, inter alia, by the changing balance of power of classical fuels (oil, gas, nuclear) suppliers/users and climate activists. The ensuing geopolitical lesson learned is that as green energy is technologically far away from ensuring the energy sufficiency of global economy, some sort of market sharing agreement with the other energy suppliers is inevitable.
