All the new challenges of the West
The number “Occidente. Values, conflicts and global challenges ”of the magazine“ leSfide ”of the Craxi Foundation read by Paola Sacchi
"West. Values, conflicts and global challenges ". The new issue of the magazine " leSfide ", of the Craxi Foundation "has in fact anticipated the topics of the agenda of the G7 in Cornwall, of the NATO summit", thus summarized, during the webinar presentation of the magazine, Margherita Boniver, president of institute founded by Stefania Craxi, now vice president of the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee.
The West, which relaunches itself, which challenges China and even Russia, in the new era of US President Joe Biden, as noted by the director of the magazine Mario Barbi, was addressed during the presentation on the level of the geopolitical project, with Giampiero Massolo, president of Ispi (Institute for International Political Studies), Andrea Margelletti, president of Cesi (Center for international studies) and Michele Valensise, president of Villa Vigoni.
But the Western theme, what are the geopolitical challenges that have forged and now await the "Free World", thirty years after the victory over Soviet communism, is addressed in all its cultural and philosophical facets in the magazine. The parterre of the interventions was very rich and prestigious. The editorial by the director Barbi 'Occidente, a project to be rebuilt', re-knotting the threads of the wide range of contributions, makes an identity and value reading highlighting the Christian roots, proposing an assessment of the globalization process together with the need for a political reconstruction project. This is followed by a long 'conversation' with the Vatican Secretary for Relations with States, Richard Gallagher; an essay by Giovanni Leghissa who virtually dialogues with Carlo Scognamiglio Pasini, who problematizes the question of the role and of the American primacy in the new millennium.
The relations between the West, Islam and the East are then at the center of the investigation of the academics Benedetto Ippolito and Matteo Gerlini, while Eugenia Roccella retraces the process of secularization of the West through the way of the last three Popes of conceiving and carry out the pastoral mission of the Catholic Church. In-depth analysis on Atlantic issues with the reflections of ambassadors Riccardo Sessa and Gabriele Checchia (with Simone Zuccarelli), who propose a focus on the role and challenges of NATO with distinct profiles, while the former Foreign Minister Giulio Terzi di Sant'Agata and Laura Harth analyze the recent trade agreement between the EU and China. Analysis on economic-industrial issues by Paolo Garonna and Paolo Pirani, for the 'Italy-Europe' section, while in 'Letters from Europe' Federico Niglia writes about the German political vote next autumn and analysts Lello Stelletti and Francesco Marino Galeazzi tell the dynamics affecting the three states of the Baltic Europe. Researcher Riccardo Mario Cucciolla reconstructs the events that followed one another in the frenetic 1991 and which led to the collapse of the USSR.
An unpublished speech by Bettino Craxi of April '88 is then re-proposed at a Conference of the Communist Party on Europe in the future international scenarios, contextualized by an introductory note by Nicola Carnovale. "Craxi's lucid vision indicates the role of a Europe that is an integral political and cultural part of the West, but also that knows how to fulfill a key role of East-West and North-South hinge", observes Carnovale, director general of Craxi Foundation.
Against the background of the global challenges that await the West and the Middle Eastern crises, the essays by Paolo Bergamaschi finally unfold which outlines, between history and current events, the Caucasian reality grappling with the Azerbaijani-Armenian conflict and Gianni Bonini who outlines the challenges of new American administration headed by Joe Biden in the enlarged Mediterranean area.
