The authors explore the significant developments that shape the course of major trends in foreign, defence and security policies of nations with an emphasis on the role of modern technologies, expanding confrontation in hybrid, cyber, informational and outer spaces, continued erosion of multilateral institutions and internationally accepted norms, and the dangers they pose to the democratic, rules-based order.
We remind you that in July of this year, New Strategy Center has launched the volume in Romanian „Lumea de mâine. Ce urmează după pandemie?”, a work containing essays written by Romanian and foreign authors, which analyzes the impact of the pandemic on various domains: from international relations to the economy, from security to the social impact, from the changes in our lifestyle to the changes in the technological domains. This volume was also published at Curtea Veche, as part of the partnership between the publishing house and New Strategy Center.
