500 Years of Western Dominance: Is it Coming to an End and What's Next?
Interview with Glenn Diesen | Glenn Diesen is Professor at the University of South-East Norway. His research interests include Russian foreign policy and the geoeconomics of European and Eurasian integration. He is the author of the new book The Ukraine War & the Eurasian World Order. | Felix Abt: A great European religious war and the first pan-European conflict over superpower status came to an end in 1648.
