How really well known is NATO?
How much is known about how it was born, how it has evolved, what activities it carries out?
Through this project we want to offer a series of contributions on various aspects concerning NATO, providing those essential references to be able to acquire awareness of a world that is increasingly essential for our security.

Demography and migrations

Demographic trends in the world are changing as a result of economic developments, wars or conflicts; this clearly affects the phenomenon of migration between States or across entire continents. How will the migration routes evolve in the near future?

Korean Peninsula and East Asia

The East Asian subcontinent in recent years has returned to prominence due to the resurgence on the geopolitical scene of North Korea. But what are the interests at stake between China, the US and Russia in that area and what are the true intentions of the North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un?

Frozen conflicts and the Eastern front

Conflicts, wars and tensions between different states, but also between the various non-state geopolitical actors are changing form. The recent conflict in Ukraine, frozen conflicts in the Asian world, cyber-attacks, new forms of terrorism are some of the points that will be analysed in this issue.

Western Balkans

The true integration of the Balkan peninsula’s countries is one of the great problems of the Old Continent. The whole region was sadly the subject of conflicts not many years ago that halted its development and stability. The situation is much improved today but not completely normalised.

Latin America

An overview of geopolitical situations inside and outside the most important countries of the Latin American world.

Religious conflicts in the world

Persecution and violence against ethnic and religious minorities in the world do not seem to want to stop.

Terrorism

The theme of terrorism prevention has become absolutely a priority.

The “New silk roads”

The new Silk Road has the ambition to become the backbone of a new commercial and political area.

Arctic

The international community is called to meet several challenges in order to prevent the delicate balance of the Arctic from being broken.
