Una delle massime più note del pensiero politico cinese recita “il Cielo è alto, l’Imperatore è lontano”. Il significato è duplice: da un lato rappresenta un certo grado di autonomia politica delle aree periferiche, ma dall’altro fa ricadere sugli amministratori locali e non su quelli centrali le responsabilità per eventuali cattive gestioni di casi locali.

I rapporti tra i Paesi possono essere curiosamente simili a quelli fra le persone. Non mancano gli screzi, le incomprensioni, le improvvise arrabbiature, le inevitabili riconciliazioni, mai definitive, sempre in fondo passeggere. Talvolta, i rapporti terminano con un divorzio o una separazione anche drammatica; in altri casi hanno la meglio la frequentazione, l’intimità, e forse più semplicemente interessi reciproci. La relazione franco-tedesca non è da meno.
Negli ultimi giorni la Cina è stata attraversata da numerose e partecipate proteste contro la strategia zero-Covid imposta dal governo.
"The world has never witnessed such a major energy crisis in terms of its depth and its complexity," IEA Executive Director Fatih Birol said at a global energy forum in Sydney. "We might not have seen the worst of it yet -- this is affecting the entire world."
A debate is raging about the future of globalisation. Concerns about supply-side shocks unleashed by the Covid pandemic and Russia’s invasion of Ukraine have led some to argue that globalisation has gone too far. The just-in-time mentality has become outdated, and resilient and robust supply chains are back in vogue.
Unlike with violent upheavals and wars that have recently shaken the broader Middle East and North African region, in Mali, the West—specifically Europe led by France—decided to mitigate the crisis through a long-term military engagement, though not as extensive as in Afghanistan or Iraq. European intervention in the Sahel became sort of the laboratory for a joint EU military culture before Russians contributed to the erosion of this exercise.
The region encompassing the Middle East, North Africa, and the Sahel is studded with complex and multi-layered conflicts in which local and international dynamics interact. While this may sound like a simple truth, it has important implications regarding conflict management. Across the region, few wars are limited to one country and are internally resolvable. In most cases (Russia, Libya, Mali, Yemen), local and regional actors, foreign players, and international organizations have become protagonists of these crises’ destinies.
Established to tackle global crisis in 1999 at the level of Finance Ministers and Governors of the Central Banks and then scaled up to Summit level in 2009 at Pittsburgh, USA, the G-20 has evolved over the years not only to deliver in terms of coordination in dealing with various global challenges on finance related fronts. Since 2012 onwards it has also included key development issues, concerning global economic governance. At this point, the G20 grouping represents around 65 percent of the global population and 79 percent of global trade.
