Aus persönlicher Einsicht sowie politischer und akademischer Expertise argumentiert der finnische Präsident Alexander Stubb, dass wir einen Wendepunkt der Geschichte erleben, vergleichbar mit 1918, 1945 oder 1989.

War is no way to resolve our most problematic group, community, and societal issues, but neither is a peace that simply sweeps our problems under the rug. To create lasting change, we have to learn to work fluidly with two distinct, fundamental drives that are in tension: power - the single-minded desire to achieve one's solitary purpose - and love - the drive toward unity.... They are seemingly contradictory but in fact complimentary.
