The Middle East and North Africa remain among the world’s largest arms-importing regions, driven by geopolitical tensions, proxy conflicts, and rapid military modernization. Countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Morocco, and Egypt are expanding their defense capabilities through advanced aircraft, drones, missile systems, and strategic partnerships with powers including the United States, France, China, and Russia. At the same time, regional actors are increasingly investing in domestic defense industries and drone technologies, reshaping modern warfare across conflicts in Libya, Yemen, Syria, and beyond.

[REPORT] Greenland on the Chessboard: European Strategic Autonomy Challenge

 , , , , , , , 0

Greenland is no longer a peripheral Arctic territory but a strategic pressure point where U.S. power projection, European strategic ambition, and local sovereignty intersect. What appears to be a debate about resources or military positioning is, in fact, a deeper geopolitical test of the transatlantic order. The island has emerged as a focal point of great-power competition, shaped by climate change, resource potential, and shifting security dynamics.

In this context, Greenland functions as a geopolitical stress test for European strategic autonomy. It reveals both the ambitions of the European Union to act independently and the structural constraints that continue to bind it to the transatlantic alliance. At the same time, Greenland is not merely an object of competition but an active strategic actor, leveraging its position to balance external powers and advance its own sovereignty.

[REPORT] The Broken Nation: Myanmar’s Struggle Towards a National Identity

 , , , , , , , , , 0

For the entirety of Myanmar’s existence as an independent state, the civil war is the clearest opportunity for the country to form a shared national identity. The Tatmadaw’s repression effectively united the warring minorities towards the goal of peace and unity. If this emerging unity remains intact and further develops, it can be said that this conflict’s end may very well determine whether or not Myanmar will become a nation that identifies itself as wholly united in its diversity.
