In this issue, the cover is dedicated to "Global Trends: Alternative Worlds". What will happen in the next 20 years? It is a question that many are asking, especially after the economic and financial crisis of 2008 that has devastated many countries: Will the West stand up or will be overtaken by new powers, especially by China? These and other issues were the subject of the report that every four years is submitted by the Intelligence Community to the new American president of the United States, in order to provide a forecast of the global strategic trends of the next 15 years.
