Michael Sahlin: Time is out of order

Global developments in the world are worrying and unpredictable. Climate change, migration flows and technological innovations are changing established social structures. Shifts in the balance of power between different nations and continents are affecting politics, economics, trade and social structures. This in turn leads to military buildup and positioning. The rules-based world order is under strong pressure. There is a clear risk that this will lead to global security chaos.

Michael Sahlin navigates this dynamic subject with flying colors. Michael's combination of academic training and many years of practical experience in defense policy and diplomacy makes him unbeatable at analyzing and seeing patterns in a seemingly chaotic world development.

Michael Sahlin is a creative and productive member of the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences. He contributes greatly to the academy being at the forefront of analyses of probable developments in world politics. This publication is a compilation of the latest in his production for the Royal Swedish Academy of War Sciences, intended to be read by those who are interested in the background and development of various events. Also recommended for politicians and decision-makers in both government and business.
