Category: Power, Order, and the World

A space for rigorous reflection on the structures of global power that shape our age.
Here we explore international relations, strategic balance, historical cycles of hegemony, the evolution of world order, and the enduring dilemmas of security and justice. From the transformations of transatlantic relations to the tensions between great powers, these essays foreground realism informed by memory and principle, asking: In what kind of world do we wish to live when might and law are in constant tension?

Summary: Reflections from the eighth decade — on life, culture, and the state of the world. This blog offers quiet observations, drawn from a lifetime of watching, questioning, and remembering. The sun lowers, but still gives light.

Quote of the week: From Elie Wiesel (1928-2016) writer, activist, and noble prize winner and most relevant to the meaning of this quote, a holocaust survivor.
