The Triangle of Power

In The Triangle of Power, Finnish President Alexander Stubb argues that the world is experiencing a hinge moment in history comparable to 1918, 1945, or 1989.

The liberal world order that emerged after World War II and expanded after the Cold War is unraveling, giving way to a multipolar system shaped by three major forces: the Global West, the Global East (led by China), and the Global South.

Drawing on decades of diplomatic experience, Stubb contends that the Global South will ultimately determine whether the future tilts toward cooperation or fragmentation, and he advocates for a values-based realism approach to preserve freedom and democracy in the emerging world order.
