The war in Ukraine is the first European war of the 21st century and has highlighted the need for new categories to understand it. Alliances have shifted: Europe and the United States are struggling to maintain an increasingly blurred role, China plays a decisive part, and countries like India, Indonesia, Brazil, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates aspire to regional dominance and believe that a non-aligned position best serves their national interests. At the same time, economic sanctions imposed by a few must coexist with the interdependence of commodity, energy, and technology markets.

Philosophers, politicians, political scientists, economists, historians, writers and physicists, all of them top-tier, come together in this volume, co-published with the magazine El Grand Continent, to address these transformations: from Kharkiv to the metaverse, the war is here.

Available in bookstores from January 17, 2024.
