Are America and China Condemned to Repeat History?
The evolving relationship between the United States and China is assessed against the backdrop of historical great-power dynamics marked by cycles of rivalry and limited cooperation. Economic interdependence, strategic competition, and divergent geopolitical interests continue to shape bilateral relations, raising the question of whether structural tensions will lock both powers into recurring patterns of confrontation or allow for a more stable equilibrium.

Why Capitalism Persists
The trajectory of the global order is examined against the backdrop of a crisis in liberal democracies and the gradual erosion of the post–Cold War system. The focus lies on why capitalism continues to persist as the dominant economic model despite geopolitical upheaval, growing systemic criticism, and declining trust in institutions.

The Iran Imperative
Iran’s regional power position in the Middle East is analyzed in light of its network of influence across several Arab states, its missile capabilities, and its nuclear ambitions. At the same time, the role of the United States and Israel in shaping a new regional order is examined, alongside the dynamics of deterrence, conflict, and geopolitical realignment.
