The Challenge of Modern Governance

Liberal democracies face unprecedented threats in the current global landscape, with multiple geopolitical tensions manifesting across various regions. Conflicts such as the ongoing war in Ukraine, the contentious relationship between the U.S. and China, and the persistent rivalry in the Middle East illustrate a world in chaos. The possibility of escalating conflicts, including the specter of World War III, raises serious concerns about the stability of international relations. Against this backdrop, the prospect of a return to presidential power for Donald Trump raises alarm due to his controversial choices for key positions, suggesting a governance style that may further destabilize democratic norms.
