Più in dettaglio, in questo lavoro di scavo e analisi ci soffermiamo sia sulla dimensione “puramente” internazionale dell’Ordine globale, sia su quella regionale, prendendo, in quest’ultimo caso, in considerazione l’area del Medio Oriente e Nord-Africa e, in una sezione interamente dedicata, l’Unione Europea.
La lettrice e il lettore troveranno un affresco di alcune delle tendenze chiave del mondo globale: dal consolidamento del mondo multipolare alla de-globalizzazione, dal ripiegamento degli USA al soft power cinese, dalla instabilità del Medio Oriente alla ‘nuova guerra fredda araba’, fino ai diversi scenari che caratterizzeranno l’integrazione europea – e l’Unione – nei prossimi anni.
Sezione 1: L’ORDINE GLOBALE TRA CRISI DELLA GLOBALIZZAZIONE E ASCESA DI NUOVE POTENZE. QUALI SCENARI DOPO IL COVID?
Sezione 2: L’UNIONE EUROPEA TRA NUOVE SFIDE E INCERTI SCENARI FUTURI

The European economy is expanding for the seventh year in a row despite a slowdown at the global level. However, social and economic inequalities within EU member states have been increasing significantly in the last decade. Not all citizens are benefitting from the current economic growth and the advancement in productivity, which creates an excellent window of opportunity for the populist radical rights to thrive and amass electoral support.

Its mission needs to be redefined as social-embedding. Despite the current slowdown, the European economy is expanding, for the seventh year in a row. Social and economic inequalities within EU member states have however increased dramatically in recent decades. It's clear that not all citizens are benefiting from that growth. If we do not want to facilitate the rise of populist leaders such as Matteo Salvini and Marine Le Pen, this is the right time to rethink the EU's original sin-the asymmetry between the economic dimension and the social question within European governance. It is key to recapturing the political debate around social welfare, so far masterfully monopolised by European populist parties, in particular radical-right nationalist parties.

It was, in fact, an overall marginal role, in contrast with the EU's ambition to become a global player after the institutionalization of the Common Foreign and Security Policy in the Treaty of Maastricht (1992) and its reforms in the Treaty of Amsterdam (1999) and Nice (2001). The intergovernmental and the declaratory nature of the European 'foreign policy', the constraints of the transatlantic relationship and the pro-Arab policy adopted by the EEC during the crisis of the 1970s determined the peripheral position of the EU in the Middle East scenario during the examined period.
