Progress is what we always wish for. We spend our lives looking for that, and we are doing a fair good job if we consider what we are collecting and employing. We are producing more and more, from food to high technology. Internet is more widespread than ever and communication surely should bring mutual understanding between people.

I will mainly focus on how this relates to the geopolitical, economical and strategic issues we can observe at present (and near future) times. In parallel, I will treat how our world evolved such integrated mechanisms by evidencing fundamental parallelisms with other historical instances.

Briefly, my goal is to make this space our window on our contemporary geopolitical situation. See you soon.
