Has experienced war themselves. they might have contacts with finland, with other countries. people have fled to sweden with experience in war, but sweden itself has not experienced war. so for us the nonaligned politics has been very pragmatic. its been a way of not getting involved in wars. and for us changing this policy is quite big. its a huge thing. its generational swedes that have grown up, it has not been the same for 200 years but still basically had a political position not getting in...

These successes could evolve into greater coordination on foreign and even defense policy. europeans have realized that at a fundamental level that they were taking peace and stability for granted, that it might now have to be created and sustained by hardwork and commitment, in part, by building power of their own and deploying it strategically. there are serious debates about ending the slow consensual process of e.u. decisionmaking that allows one country like hungary to veto its efforts. the...

Unusual, perhaps even unique one in which great politics and geopolitical tensions that normally dominate and define international life were absent. the giddy trends of recent times, globalization, the information revolution, even democratization were built on an edifice of power, americas super power status. but that strength has been waning for some years, caused by iraq, the global financial crisis, covid. now it is being challenged first by china and then russia. in all this gloom, theres on...
