As has been the trend in recent years, 2017 was characterized by significant changes in international politics, highlighting the growing complexity of the world we live in. Reflections on major developments can be found in the contributions to this year's "Strategic Trends 2018". In the first chapter, Jack Thompson looks at the new foreign policy of the US under President Trump. In his view, the US will remain the most important player in global affairs, but is struggling to adapt to the evolution of the international system and will be more vulnerable than ever to changes in the geopolitical landscape. Managing relations with Russia and China will be among the main challenges that the West will face in the coming years. Brian Carlson therefore examines the China-Russia relationship and its effects on world politics. China is also an important factor in Severin Fischer's chapter on the impacts of technological change in the energy sector. In his view, China will be the dominant player in the world of new and clean technologies, notably solar and batteries. This could be good for development goals and limiting global warming, but not necessarily for the influence of the Western world in other regions. Within this changing international system, calls for improving national resilience across different sectors in states and economies are becoming louder. Tim Prior's chapter examines the growing focus on resilience in Western security policy, particularly with respect to deterring asymmetric threats. ; ISSN:1664-0667

Strategic Trends 2021 offers a concise analysis of major developments in world affairs, with a primary focus on international security. In the first chapter, Brian G. Carlson analyzes China-Russia relations and the impact on Asian security. In the second chapter Dominika Kunertova explains how hypersonic technology has become a political tool in great-power competition among the United States, China, and Russia. In the third chapter, Névine Schepers argues that Russia's war in Ukraine significantly complicates nuclear arms control efforts while also underlining their necessity given heightened risks of nuclear escalation. In the final chapter, Boas Lieberherr and Linda Maduz analyze the emerging concept of the Indo-Pacific, in particular with regard to its strategic implications. ; Strategic Trends 2022 bietet eine Analyse wichtiger weltpolitischer Entwicklungen, wobei Fragen der internationalen Sicherheit im Zentrum stehen. Im ersten Kapitel analysiert Brian G. Carlson die Beziehungen zwischen China und Russland und die Auswirkungen auf die Sicherheit Asiens. Im zweiten Kapitel erklärt Dominika Kunertova, wie die Hyperschalltechnologie zu einem politischen Instrument im Grossmächtewettbewerb zwischen den USA, China und Russland geworden ist. Im dritten Kapitel argumentiert Névine Schepers, dass Russlands Krieg in der Ukraine die nuklearen Rüstungskontrollbemühungen erheblich erschwert, und unterstreicht gleichzeitig deren Notwendigkeit angesichts des erhöhten Risikos einer nuklearen Eskalation. Im letzten Kapitel analysieren Boas Lieberherr und Linda Maduz das aufkommende Konzept des Indopazifiks, insbesondere im Hinblick auf dessen strategische Implikationen. ; ISSN:1664-0667

Strategic Trends 2021 offers a concise analysis of major developments in world affairs, with a primary focus on international security. In the first chapter, Brian G. Carlson explores the impact of the China-Russia relationship on transatlantic security. In the second chapter, Julian Kamasa assesses the potential for security cooperation among France, Germany, and Britain in the E3 and other formats following Brexit. In the third chapter, Niklas Masuhr analyzes Turkey's recent military interventions. He notes the limited success of them and their reliance on Russia's acquiescence in them. In the fourth chapter, Lisa Watanabe describes how the US retreat from the Middle East has allowed other powers, especially Russia and China, to strengthen their involvement in the region. In the final chapter, Linda Maduz analyzes the responses by Japan and South Korea to China's rise and to concerns about continued US engagement in Asia. ; Strategic Trends 2021 bietet eine Analyse wichtiger weltpolitischer Entwicklungen, wobei Fragen der internationalen Sicherheit im Zentrum stehen.

Im dritten Kapitel analysiert Niklas Masuhr die jüngsten militärischen Interventionen der Türkei. Er weist auf ihren begrenzten Erfolg und ihre Abhängigkeit von der Zustimmung Russlands hin. Im vierten Kapitel beschreibt Lisa Watanabe, wie der Rückzug der USA aus dem Nahen Osten es anderen Mächten, insbesondere Russland und China, ermöglicht hat, ihr Engagement in der Region zu verstärken. Im letzten Kapitel analysiert Linda Maduz die Reaktionen Japans und Südkoreas auf Chinas Aufstieg und auf Bedenken hinsichtlich des anhaltenden Engagements der USA in Asien. ; ISSN:1664-0667

Russia's recent Vostok-2018 military exercises, in which China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) participated for the first time, were another milestone in the increasingly close defense relationship between the two countries. Only a few years ago, Russia used these and other exercises to prepare its forces for the possibility of war with China. Now, at a time of strain in both countries' relations with the West, China's par­ticipation is a sign of the value that both sides attach to their relationship. The two countries are not about to form a military alliance, but their growing defense coopera­tion is likely to have a significant impact on global politics in the coming years. (Autorenreferat)

"Although U.S. strategic competition with China and Russia is largely focused on efforts in Asia and Europe, this competition will play out in other regions, including in the Middle East. This report details the political, economic, and military interests and activities of China and Russia in the Middle East, and identifies where those efforts contest, intersect, or complement U.S. interests and activities. The authors systematically identify the dimensions and locations in which strategic competition is occurring, where it is most likely to take place in the future, and where and how it is most likely to threaten U.S. interests. They provide recommendations for the steps that U.S. policymakers might take to maintain an advantageous position in the region and in strategic competition with China and Russia."--Publisher's description
