Although formally part of the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland’s strategic location and vast natural resources have established it as an object of direct interest for global superpowers, which should motivate the European Union to rethink its priorities and presence in the region.

Recently, Greenland has become a key topic for Europe, as the island has found itself at the center of the new geopolitical rivalry between the United States and China. Although formally part of the Kingdom of Denmark, Greenland’s strategic location and vast natural resources have established it a...

Money laundering is a multifaceted risk that affects not only individual enterprises but also the very foundations of statehood, writes Dr. Mihaylov.

Money laundering is a complex unlawful activity aimed at concealing the origin of funds acquired through crime or other socially dangerous acts, or at transforming assets in order to introduce them into the legitimate economy and give them a lawful appearance. Countering money laundering has long be...

For Bulgaria, a mid-sized EU member committed to multilateralism, economic resilience, and global engagement, ignoring the Indo-Pacific is no longer an option. Rather, the region must become a strategic priority, write Dr. Ahlawat and Dr. Ivanov.

For much of its modern history, Bulgaria has rightly focused its foreign policy on its immediate neighborhood — the Balkans, the Black Sea region, and the Euro-Atlantic space. Yet, as global power dynamics shift, it is becoming increasingly clear that the world’s economic and strategic center of...

"As early as the mid-20th century, researcher Seymour Lipset commented that the primary difference between Canada and the U.S. lies in the historically rooted political beliefs of their peoples: Americans are descendants of rebels against the crown, while Canadians are descendants of loyalists."

Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election sparked serious concerns among both experts and ordinary citizens. One reason for this is his controversial stance toward America’s traditional alliances, coupled with his occasional admiration for certain authoritarian leaders—some...

Ali Alfayez:

"This visit—with its symbolism and timing—cannot be read in isolation from the historical context that has governed U.S.-Gulf relations since the 1950s, nor from the rapid regional transformations—from Syria to Yemen, Iran to Israel—and the shifting alliances and unresolved conflicts in between."

President Donald Trump’s visit to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, at the start of his Gulf tour, marked an exceptional event in both form and substance. It reshaped American priorities in the Middle East and opened the door to a new strategic approach based on the principle of “deals and outcomes,....

"The way the food system has developed and evolved in the last 20–30 years has created a series of imbalances and paradoxes. One fundamental and visible paradox in the global community is the simultaneous abundance and shortage of food—a matter that directly relates to life itself, namely ensuring necessary and safe nutrition."

The food system encompasses all the activities related to the production, processing, transportation, and consumption of food, from the farm to the consumer’s table. It also includes issues such as governance, the economy, food production along the value chain, and its overall sustainability. Addi...

"In the context of the demographic crisis affecting much of the rest of the world—particularly Europe and Asia—the influence of African countries is set to increase. How will Africa’s population expansion change the world and the continent itself?"

Africa is now clearly the continent with the highest population growth. In the context of the demographic crisis affecting much of the rest of the world—particularly Europe and Asia—the influence of its countries is set to increase. How will Africa’s population expansion change the world and t...

"Jordan’s foreign policy has long been characterized by a pragmatic approach to regional and global shifts. By maintaining strategic balance and avoiding rigid alignments, Amman has preserved its interests in an increasingly volatile environment. As new geopolitical challenges emerge, Jordan faces the task of recalibrating its diplomatic posture while sustaining its core strategic relationships."

"The hopes of the Democratic Party for victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election were largely tied to mobilizing women as an electoral bloc. Given that the issue of abortion rights became one of the key dividing lines between Trump and Harris, the Democrats sought to turn the electoral contest into a battle of the sexes. The U.S. elections indeed turned out to be, in part, a battle of the sexes, but the result did not meet the Democrats’ expectations."
