Globalization is under scrutiny, a multi-centric world is being born, supply chains and power balances are disrupted and rearranged, and the transactional diplomacy of Realpolitik confirms its dominance over institutions and principles (of law). We often underestimate or fail to timely interpret the impact of events on History.

In the case of the conflict in Ukraine, however, History is being written before our eyes in real time. The Future of History lies at the forefront of the current events of a war that continues to rage in Ukraine, the consequences of which will be multi-faceted and long-lasting. Through concise answers from 16 experts to 26 questions, and the interventions of the editor of the publication, readers gain a comprehensive understanding of almost all the parameters of the most dramatic post-Cold War global event, which significantly influences our lives.

An event that, apart from uncertainty, sharp increases and crises in energy and commodity prices, leads us to a new global order, where the stakes for the West and the East are which side will define the rules of the game.
