“A New and Less Benign Strategic Area”

Australia as a Strategic Power in the Indo-Pacific Region

When Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison unveiled his country’s new defence strategy in 2020, he announced a shift towards “a new and less benign strategic area”. With the dawn of a new era, defined by the end of the unchallenged hegemony of the US and the seemingly unstoppable rise of China, Australia is starting to view itself as a regional power and the guardian of a rules-based order in the Indo-Pacific. The geoeconomic and geostrategic balance of the Indo-Pacific has perhaps shifted more rapidly and dramatically than in any other region of the world. With its key position in the South West Pacific and Eastern Indian Ocean, Australia is taking on a proactive leadership role – together with like-minded partners in the region and around the globe.

A Question of Identity

The EU Needs to Become a Global Player in the Changing World Order

The European Union’s internal structures are currently plagued by division. These rifts all boil down to a question of identity: What is the EU? At the same time, the changing world order is forcing the EU to decide who it wants to be. The answer is clear: It must take steps to become a global player.

Cyber Capabilities as a New Resource of Power

Conflicts in the Digital Sphere

Cyber capabilities are becoming increasingly important in international relations. States with the ability to conduct cyber operations are in a strong position to expand their scope of influence in the international arena. This is particularly true for small and medium-sized countries with few traditional power resources, as cyber capabilities allow them to seriously weaken more powerful states.

Eskalation in der Ostukraine

Verschärfte Sicherheitslage im russisch-ukrainischen Konflikt

Im Konflikt zwischen der Ukraine und den von Russland unterstützten Separatisten gibt es auch nach sieben Jahren keine Perspektive auf eine stabile Friedenslösung. Während in den letzten Monaten Waffenruhe herrschte, sind nun erneut intensive Gefechte zwischen den Konfliktparteien ausgebrochen. Die Entwicklungen sind beunruhigend, aber keineswegs ungewöhnlich. Seit 2014 hat der Konflikt mehr als 13.000 Menschenleben gekostet, große Teile der ukrainischen Regionen Luhansk und Donezk sind zerstört und immer wieder kam es in den letzten Jahren zu beträchtlichen militärischen Konfrontationen.

It’s Time to Reshape the West!

“America is back!”: With US President Joe Biden, there is now potential for an ambitious transatlantic policy. We should devote all our energy to reforging the alliance between Europe and the US. Anything else would be fatal, as disunity in the West only plays into the hands of our systemic rivals China and Russia. What do we need to do right now?
