No scenario can predict the collapse/capitulation of the Taliban regime or the potency of a civil war in years to come. As international support for anti-Taliban resistance groups fosters, the authors predict the Taliban regime to remain in power in the near foreseeable future. Although the presence of New Delhi in Kabul is widely appreciated by roughly all Taliban ranks, sustained engagement with the Taliban via regional dialogue could keep a check on the Taliban’s governance in the country.

Prioritizing career diplomacy ensures that diplomatic missions are filled by individuals with proven experience and a commitment to our country's long-term diplomatic objectives. This approach supports the development of stable, effective and reliable international relations, which are essential for the advancement of national interests in the global arena, especially for a small country like Albania.

Doha’s mediation diplomacy may not have delivered results as anticipated. It has not demonstrated Doha as a potential regional power. It may have at best, demonstrated itself as a power capital of mediation diplomacy, proving its reliability as an ally to its European partners, more prominently Washington. On the contrary, it may have stopped short of achieving the image of a grand/global mediator.

This study is particularly interested in the Jewish question as a vantage point from which to look at the interplay of historical, geo-political, and ethno-political factors in historic and today’s Ukraine and to grasp the cross-national dynamics of national security and foreign policy lines, specially across the U.S., the Soviet Union/Russia, and Ukraine. The approach is based on the understanding that the Judeo-Christian Western history and the Jewish question are the head and tail of the same coin.

George Friedman’s (2009) book considered the world political development over this century ‘’The next 100 years’’. That, looking forward, the US would dominate world affairs for most of the century, and only in the last quarter would other players become strong enough to exhibit a challenge.That forecast did not see a situation of the US appearing so divided already that people are worried that the scenario does not descend towards civil unrest, two seriously opposed factions.

Analysts believe that the EU should avoid repeating past mistakes regarding Belarus and should return to the level of engagement it had after the signing of the Minsk I and Minsk II agreements. The EU needs to leverage Belarus's role to achieve a viable peace solution for Ukraine, as peace will not materialize on its own without significant effort and activity. The withdrawal of Belarusian forces from the Ukrainian border is seen as a positive signal, indicating readiness to initiate negotiations.

This appears to be true since nations seems to already adapt the Taliban-centric approach with some aiming to expand this engagement, silencing those still advocating for an Afghan-inclusive approach. The West’s approach may appear logical (at best), it could potentially destroy the sheer fabric of Afghan unity plunging the nation into civil war (not today or tomorrow) but in the near forcible future.

To make revolution, revolutionaries are needed: heroes, men with intellect and physical gifts beyond man who know how to give themselves for an idea and see beyond; However, these very capable pure spirits, these idealists, could do nothing without financiers with broad shoulders, magnetic eyes, liberal habits and overflowing wallets. To make revolution it is not enough to invoke it or incite the social network people.

We are facing a series of major geopolitical problems, and I will list those considered the most important: the rise of China and its rivalry with the US; changes in the structure of alliances and partnerships; technological developments and cyber warfare; climate crises; regional tensions and conflicts; global multipolarity; demography and migration; energy and natural resources; economic instability and pandemics; the strengthening of national identities and the rise of populism.

EU enlargement is crucial for the future of SE Europe. I believe its prosperity lies in EU membership and the common European market, as "EU accession will bring an end to all turbulence and challenges in the region." The prospect of membership is the most effective mechanism for ensuring lasting stability. If in 2004 European leaders found the strength and courage to collectively admit 10 countries into EU membership, then 20 years later we see no barriers for the remaining countries of Southeast Europe

The primary question in the coming period is how Iran will transform following the victory of a candidate with qualities and aspirations like Pezeshkian's. Iran is now entering a new era since the establishment of the Islamic Republic in 1979. Iranians have elected a reformist who aims to steer Iran out of its internal economic and social crises and international isolation. The question remains, how?
