The Age of Turbulence

Current global dynamics are characterized as an age of turbulence, influenced by three existential threats: the climate crisis, a potential nuclear arms race, and disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence. This turbulence is amplified by ongoing armed conflicts and geopolitical instability, hinting at a complex interplay of crises that haven't been experienced simultaneously in history. Many experts refer to this situation as a 'polycrisis,' emphasizing the need for a reassessment of international relations and diplomatic strategies. The confluence of these global issues calls for solutions that transcend traditional nation-state approaches, which often lack the capacity to address these comprehensive challenges effectively.
