Putin's Russia, Xi Jinping's China and now Trump's USA too: new balances are emerging on the horizon. Europe risks losing its role in the context of a global strategy characterized by permanent instability, accentuated by terrorism and an unparalleled economic crisis. The disintegration of the Western power system is linked to the crisis of state building mechanisms in the postcolonial era and by now uncertainty dominates world political representations.
In the new essay “Fractals. The age of world instability”, published by goWare, Giulio Sapelli traces the current scenario seen by an observer who has foreseen everything so far.
A new era of instability is about to open, the professor tells us. Forget all that you have seen and heard in the past. The period that began with the fall of the Berlin Wall has come to an end. Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping are preparing for a long and complex chess game.
Between new economic and energy frontiers and old expansionist aims, not all cards have been put on the table. And the near future? It's all to play: all that remains is to take part in the challenge.
Giulio Sapelli will discuss the themes of his new essay “Frattali. The age of world instability” on Saturday 21 January in Florence at 11.00 in the Cestello Theater on the occasion of the Teatro Autore event organized by goWare.
