United Nations Security Council

The UN Security Council of 2017 is little different from that of today, yet the world of 2017 demands that new challenges be addressed.  New alliances and emerging powers both reinforce and destabilize the world order, with an Indo-American entente pitted against a Chinese hegemony in what is less a cold war than a hot peace.  A resurgent Russia threatens to dominate Central Asia and looms large even in the former Warsaw Pact, and the EU, traditionally a voice of diplomacy in troubled times, is paralyzed by internal disagreement and unable to act even in its own backyard.  But as the Great Powers engage in a second Scramble for Africa, events in the Middle East could prove to be most dangerous of all, affirming once again the old maxim: “No plan long survives contact with the enemy.”
