Reform or Replace? The Future of Global Governance
Reform or Replace? The Future of Global Governance Global governance stands at a critical crossroads. Institutions created after World War II—especially the United Nations—were designed to prevent another global catastrophe. For decades, they provided platforms for dialogue, coordination, and conflict management. But today, many people question whether these institutions still work as intended. The growing debate is no longer just about reform. It is about whether global governance should be repaired or replaced entirely.

Can Global Peace Exist Without a Global Authority?
Can Global Peace Exist Without a Global Authority? The idea of global peace without a global authority sounds appealing to some people. In theory, nations could manage their own affairs, respect each other’s borders, and resolve disputes peacefully without an overarching institution telling them what to do. Supporters of this view argue that global bodies are slow, biased, and often ineffective. But history and current events raise a difficult question: can lasting global peace truly exist without a central authority to guide it?

Who Replaces the United Nations If It Fails?
Who Replaces the United Nations If It Fails? For more than seventy years, the United Nations has served as the world’s main platform for diplomacy, peacekeeping, and global cooperation. Despite its weaknesses, it remains the only institution where nearly every country has a seat at the table. But as trust in the UN declines and major powers increasingly act alone, an uncomfortable question is being asked more often: if the UN fails, who—or what—takes its place?

Can the United Nations Survive a Divided World?
Can the United Nations Survive a Divided World? The United Nations was born from the ashes of World War II, at a time when the world agreed on one powerful idea: global problems require global solutions. For decades, the UN served as a meeting ground for rivals, a coordinator of humanitarian aid, and a symbol of international cooperation. Today, however, the organization stands at a crossroads. A more divided, competitive, and unstable world is forcing a serious question—what will the UN become in the future?

Did Trump’s Retreat From the United Nations Undermine Global Peace?
Did Trump’s Retreat From the United Nations Undermine Global Peace? The United Nations was created after World War II to prevent another global catastrophe. Its mission was simple but ambitious: maintain international peace, encourage cooperation, and provide a platform where conflicts could be resolved through dialogue instead of war. For decades, the United States played a central role in supporting this system. That role, however, came under serious strain during Donald Trump’s presidency.

The Quiet Collapse of Global Arms Control
The Quiet Collapse of Global Arms Control For decades, arms control agreements helped prevent the world’s most powerful weapons from spiraling out of control. Treaties limited nuclear stockpiles, increased transparency, and built fragile trust between rival states. Today, that system is quietly unraveling—and its collapse may define the next era of global insecurity.

The Red Sea Crisis and the Fragility of Global Trade
The Red Sea Crisis and the Fragility of Global Trade The Red Sea has quietly become one of the most critical pressure points in global affairs. Once seen mainly as a commercial shipping route connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa, it is now a zone of rising military tension, disrupted trade, and geopolitical rivalry. What happens in this narrow stretch of water is no longer a regional issue—it is reshaping global economics and international security.

The Quiet Rise of Global Militarization
The Quiet Rise of Global Militarization Across the world, governments are increasing military spending, expanding defense industries, and modernizing weapons systems—often without openly acknowledging why. There are no formal declarations of war, no mass troop mobilizations, and no clear enemy named in many cases. Yet behind the scenes, a quiet shift is taking place. Global militarization is rising, not loudly, but steadily, reshaping international relations in ways that may define the coming decades.

When Allies Disagree: How Global Partnerships Are Being Redefined
When Allies Disagree: How Global Partnerships Are Being Redefined For much of the modern era, global alliances appeared firm and predictable. Powerful countries formed blocs, promised mutual support, and stood together during times of war and crisis. But in today’s world, those alliances are changing. Recent disagreements between long-standing partners show that global cooperation is no longer based on automatic loyalty—it is increasingly shaped by national interests, public opinion, and long-term stability.

Saudi Arabia Warns Against War
Saudi Arabia Warns Against War: Why Riyadh Opposes a U.S. Attack on Iran As tensions between the United States and Iran continue to rise, Saudi Arabia has taken a notable and cautious position: warning against any U.S. military attack on Iran. This stance may surprise some observers given the long history of rivalry between Riyadh and Tehran, but it reflects a broader regional concern that another major war in the Middle East could spiral beyond control.

Is the U.S. Preparing to Attack Iran?
Is the U.S. Preparing to Attack Iran? Inside the Rising Tensions and Possible Military Pathways In early 2026, tensions between the United States and Iran reached one of their highest points in years. For weeks, dramatic political rhetoric, shifting military postures, and warnings from leaders around the world have fueled alarms that a U.S. military strike against Iran may be imminent. Yet as of now, no confirmed attack has occurred, and the situation reflects a complex mix of pressure, preparation, de-escalation, and diplomatic uncertainty that illustrates how modern conflict can hinge just as much on words and positioning as on direct action.

If America Walks Away from NATO, the World Will Feel the Shock
If America Walks Away from NATO, the World Will Feel the Shock For more than seventy years, NATO has stood as a symbol of collective security and shared responsibility. It was never a perfect alliance, but it worked because it was built on a simple idea: when nations stand together, wars are less likely to happen. Today, however, that foundation is being shaken—not by foreign enemies, but by growing voices inside the United States questioning whether NATO is still worth it.
