Rethinking the world order?

The global power structure has been creaking for years. Global debates are based on fear and self-centeredness that strives for economic and military power. European elections are now coming up, followed by several state elections in Germany and the US elections later in the year. But what choice do we have and what questions do we need to ask ourselves? How do we deal with the various opposing power interests in a world in disarray? If we think in terms of domination, where does that lead us? If states don't have friends but interests - shouldn't we also consider the interests of others in the interests of sustainability and a growing world population? Are we asking the right questions about the future? How do we want to live in the future? The following personalities address these issues:
