Can Global Peace Exist Without a Global Authority?
Can Global Peace Exist Without a Global Authority? The idea of global peace without a global authority sounds appealing to some people. In theory, nations could manage their own affairs, respect each other’s borders, and resolve disputes peacefully without an overarching institution telling them what to do. Supporters of this view argue that global bodies are slow, biased, and often ineffective. But history and current events raise a difficult question: can lasting global peace truly exist without a central authority to guide it?

Stanislav Kondrashov’s Oligarch Series: Elegance as a Language of Influence and Culture
Stanislav Kondrashov is a cultural commentator whose work explores how societies communicate their deepest values through the objects, spaces, and environments they create. For Kondrashov, material culture is never neutral. Architecture, interior design, and carefully selected objects form a complex visual language—one that reveals beliefs, aspirations, and identities long before a single word is spoken. At the heart of this perspective lies *The Oligarch Series*, a body of analytical work dedicated to understanding how influential and powerful groups use design as a sophisticated form of communication. Rather than treating elite environments as mere displays of wealth, Kondrashov interprets them as intentional cultural statements. Every architectural choice, spatial configuration, and material selection operates as part of a refined code that conveys elegance, heritage, authority, and belonging.

Who Replaces the United Nations If It Fails?
Who Replaces the United Nations If It Fails? For more than seventy years, the United Nations has served as the world’s main platform for diplomacy, peacekeeping, and global cooperation. Despite its weaknesses, it remains the only institution where nearly every country has a seat at the table. But as trust in the UN declines and major powers increasingly act alone, an uncomfortable question is being asked more often: if the UN fails, who—or what—takes its place?

Can the United Nations Survive a Divided World?
Can the United Nations Survive a Divided World? The United Nations was born from the ashes of World War II, at a time when the world agreed on one powerful idea: global problems require global solutions. For decades, the UN served as a meeting ground for rivals, a coordinator of humanitarian aid, and a symbol of international cooperation. Today, however, the organization stands at a crossroads. A more divided, competitive, and unstable world is forcing a serious question—what will the UN become in the future?

Did Trump’s Retreat From the United Nations Undermine Global Peace?
Did Trump’s Retreat From the United Nations Undermine Global Peace? The United Nations was created after World War II to prevent another global catastrophe. Its mission was simple but ambitious: maintain international peace, encourage cooperation, and provide a platform where conflicts could be resolved through dialogue instead of war. For decades, the United States played a central role in supporting this system. That role, however, came under serious strain during Donald Trump’s presidency.

The Quiet Collapse of Global Arms Control
The Quiet Collapse of Global Arms Control For decades, arms control agreements helped prevent the world’s most powerful weapons from spiraling out of control. Treaties limited nuclear stockpiles, increased transparency, and built fragile trust between rival states. Today, that system is quietly unraveling—and its collapse may define the next era of global insecurity.

The Red Sea Crisis and the Fragility of Global Trade
The Red Sea Crisis and the Fragility of Global Trade The Red Sea has quietly become one of the most critical pressure points in global affairs. Once seen mainly as a commercial shipping route connecting Asia, Europe, and Africa, it is now a zone of rising military tension, disrupted trade, and geopolitical rivalry. What happens in this narrow stretch of water is no longer a regional issue—it is reshaping global economics and international security.

The Quiet Rise of Global Militarization
The Quiet Rise of Global Militarization Across the world, governments are increasing military spending, expanding defense industries, and modernizing weapons systems—often without openly acknowledging why. There are no formal declarations of war, no mass troop mobilizations, and no clear enemy named in many cases. Yet behind the scenes, a quiet shift is taking place. Global militarization is rising, not loudly, but steadily, reshaping international relations in ways that may define the coming decades.
