Monitoring the bond market– Towards a political crisis in Japan

ANTICIPATION If we are correct and Donald Trump’s America is systematically dismantling all the ties paralysing and crushing the United States, preventing it from taking its place as ‘primus inter pares’ in the multipolar global order, there remains one major obstacle to remove: the mutual US-Japan financial dependence. As part of the follow-up to our […]

War in Iran: From the disORIENTation to the de-WESTERNisation of the world

ANALYSIS   Anthony Trad, Geopolitical Analyst Chairman of Stradegy Advisory For over 20 years, the GEAB has been studying the transition from a relatively simple Western-centred world – characterised by the absolute technological, cultural, political, financial and economic superiority of a historically coherent alliance of actors (‘the West’) over the rest of the world – […]

The US takes its place in the multipolar world

EDITORIAL For the past 20 years, we’been observing, analysing and anticipating as best we can the stages of the massive transition from a functional Western-centred world to a functional multipolar world, via a more or less prolonged phase of dysfunction. Between 2009 and 2014, we thought – or rather hoped – that Europe would play […]

Weak Signals: Glimpses of a changing world

WEAK SIGNALS Geo-agriculture: From adaptation to systemic exhaustion During one of his recent radio appearances, agroclimatologist Serge Zaka spoke of a form of ‘great replacement’[1]  – applied to living organisms, not in the political sense of the term, but to describe the forced evolution of agricultural and tree species under the impact of accelerating climate […]

Humanity is wallowing into a civilisation of illiteracy

RETRO-ANTICIPATION Twenty-nine years ago, Prof. Mihai Nadin, in his book The Civilization of Illiteracy[1], described the end of literacy. Reading and writing in what is called natural language. Reading and writing is replaced by the visual and a variety of partial literacies related to specialised languages. In our time of fast progress in what is […]

Monitoring the Bond Crisis: The silent rise of the corporate subprime

ANALYSIS On 30 March, we issued a “warning” regarding US Treasury auctions that were likely to fail around 8–9 April. Poor sales – meaning that US debt can no longer find buyers at reasonable prices – are likely to accelerate the currently relatively quiet but de facto ongoing process of the debt system’s collapse. What […]

Back to reason… or off to the moon!

EDITORIAL As a political priority, climate change has lost momentum in the last years, not least as hard security concerns have taken centre stage. But climate change, and wider environmental concerns, have not gone away. Moreover, the impact is ever more visible, with record heat waves and extreme weather events. This inevitably will also have […]

The Burning Man: An open-air laboratory for societal governance

EXPLORACTION Since the theme of this issue is the monetisation of concepts – peace, in this case – the communal experience of The Burning Man in Black Rock City strikes us as a model of monetisation that also deserves our attention: it is a form of reinvention of human governance where giving functions as the […]

Peace without the UN: Who arbitrates the world’s conflicts?

ALERT In less than a century, the international peace architecture has shifted from a universal project of global regulation to a politically paralysed and financially strangled structure. By the end of 2025, the glass tower[1] had a record $1.6 billion in unpaid contributions, whereas a third of its member states no longer regularly meet their […]

Peace Economy: The rise of a new global market

ANTICIPATION The “Board of Peace” (BoP), announced with great fanfare by Donald Trump on 22 January in Davos[1], illustrates the emergence of a market that is particularly attractive to the financial world. It is in this in-between (neither universal nor fully public) space that the most successful example of pay-to-play club diplomacy is situated. This […]

Iran: An opportunity for Europe…

EDITORIAL The phase of Permanent Systemic War we identified in January as the next stage of the Global Systemic Crisis[1], has already been confirmed. Contrary to the intentions of the current American administration, the United States and Israel have joined forces to attack Iran, prompting Tehran to retaliate by targeting the empire’s weak points: the […]

Les Fleurs du Mal: The Cold War’s Hidden Gift – a Digital World

RETROFUTURE The digital 21st century did not arise one morning as a technological miracle. It was slowly built in the fractures of the 20th century, in the silence of top-secret military laboratories and, above all, in the tightly locked drawers of the Cold War, where strategic urgency often took precedence over ethical considerations. There is […]
