International Order Crisis

2026 marks a significant turning point for the international order. The ongoing war in Ukraine and military opposition around Iran are destabilizing critical international sea routes like the Strait of Hormuz, posing a serious threat to international peace.

The nuclear and missile programs of North Korea continue to threaten regional security. As tensions rise in the Taiwan Strait and the South China Sea, deepening geopolitical divisions are disrupting the global economy and supply chains. Meanwhile, intense competition for technological superiority and the digital transformation driven by the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution are reshaping not only industries and economies but also democracy, education, labor markets, ethics, and the foundation of human civilization.

The issue of refugees and migrants is becoming increasingly critical. Climate change - manifesting as extreme heat, drought, floods, and fires - is no longer a distant threat but a daily reality.
