The Failure of State-Centric Counterterrorism: Misconception and Standardization in Post-2001 Afghanistan
The collapse of Kabul was no mere operational mishap; it was the final epitaph of a global security model crippled by doctrinal hubris. The failure of Mission Resolute Support is rooted in the Standardization Trap—the illusion that linear institutional models can be exported into contexts that inherently reject their ontology. Through systematic mirror imaging, the West mistook asymmetric resilience for pyramidal hierarchies, reducing strategy to a futile exercise in military technocracy. This profound intellectual blindness reveals a stubborn insistence on fighting the enemy one desires to face, while ignoring the one that actually exists.
(Analysis) AI: Friend, Fad, Or Foe? Davos 2026 Sets The Stage For An Increasing Interest In AI’s Long-term Impact
Artificial intelligence featured prominently at the 2026 World Economic Forum, framed as both a driver of productivity and a source of strategic uncertainty. Investments and leadership forecasts pointed to rapid capability gains, yet implementation data suggested that many organisations remain in pilot phases with uneven impact across sectors. At the same time, divergent regulatory approaches, emerging rules on deepfakes and electoral integrity, and ongoing debates about data governance highlighted a widening gap between technological development and institutional readiness.
(Analysis) Is Connectivity A Global Trend That May “Save MENA” from Eternal Confrontation?

One of the main challenges affecting the EU structure is the absence of a shared strategic narrative to unite all member states and develop a common strategic path to navigate global uncertainties. This narrative would be a geopolitical compass based on geopolitical necessities and threats, that would guide the EU’s foreign policy and diplomacy.
New Normal of Deliberate Escalation Between India and Pakistan
The May 2025 crisis between India and Pakistan reflects a shifting security paradigm in South Asia where deliberate escalation increasingly unfolds under the shadow of nuclear deterrence. The integration of advanced technologies has lowered traditional thresholds of conflict while expanding the scope of engagements. The weaponization of non-traditional domains such as water resources and information space further highlights the multidimensional nature of contemporary warfare between the two states. While third-party mediation helped avert full-scale war, it remains insufficient in addressing the deeper structural causes of recurring instability.
