As the world grapples with the demise of long-standing political conventions, a
global shift is underway, challenging established powers and rewriting the
rules. From Donald Trump's audacious return
in the United States to Russia's brazen annexation of Ukraine and China's
assertive rise, the once-stable international system is being tested.
Lesser uprisings, like Brexit and far-right movements, further erode the
consensus. President Joe Biden seeks to salvage democracy at home and repair
fractured alliances, while a pivotal G7 summit in Japan aims to fortify
international practices and counter China's growing influence. Amidst these
tumultuous times, a new era is unfolding, where the struggle for power will
determine the future of the world and its governing principles. |
