En tid av demokratiska sönderfall Den demokratiska epok vi befunnit oss i tog ett halvt sekel att bygga. Från Portugals nejlikerevolution 1974, genom Kalla krigets slut, fram till millennieskiftet då 71 länder samtidigt…

V-Dems demokratirapport 2026 är osminkad. 92 autokratier, 87 demokratier. USA förlorar sin status som liberal demokrati för första gången på femtio år. Värre än 1930-talet. Men vägen framåt finns.

Can the EU lead a new world order in trade? The Trump administration's trade wars, unrelenting despite the Supreme Court's rebuff, continue to sow distrust in Europe. New tariff threats against many European countries (over Greenland and more r...

This constant threat of tariffs is getting ridiculous. Now Europe really needs to stand up and not let itself be bullied. There are anti coercion instruments, counter tariffs and other tools to be used if necessary. Solidarity 🇬🇱

Nytt avsnitt med omvärldsspanarna är ute. Vi samtalar om krishantering, innovation och om vad vi kan lära oss av Ukraina.
