This paper examines the Greek debt crisis as a case study to understand the interaction between fiscal policy, macroeconomic conditions, and institutional constraints within the Eurozone. The analysis begins with the standard government debt identity and the debt dynamics equation, highlighting how persistent deficits, low economic growth, and rising interest rates contributed to the unsustainability of Greece’s public debt.

This article analyzes the Russia–Ukraine war as a prolonged conflict of attrition, where stable frontlines and incompatible political goals prevent decisive outcomes. Despite limited diplomatic efforts, a comprehensive peace remains unlikely, making continued fighting the most probable near-term scenario.

This article explores whether the European Union can remain intact without the strategic backing of the United States. While the EU possesses strong economic foundations and established institutions, its reliance on American security guarantees, primarily through NATO, raises serious questions about its geopolitical resilience. The piece argues that, although the Union would likely survive a U.S. disengagement, it would face heightened internal divisions, security vulnerabilities, and increased pressure from global powers like China and Russia. Ultimately, the EU’s ability to remain cohesive would depend on its willingness to evolve into a more integrated and strategically autonomous actor.

This article critiques contemporary international security discourse by arguing that dominant narratives privilege militarised, state-centric threats while marginalising broader, interconnected risks, such as climate change, inequality, and social instability, thereby limiting more holistic and sustainable approaches to global security.
