American democracy in peril, Europe divided, an increasingly isolated and assertive China, the slow death of neoliberalism, pervasive misinformation, economic stagnation, reawakened nationalism, energy shocks and the acceleration of existential risks like climate, nuclear proliferation, pandemics and AI.
The fault lines in geopolitics, the world economy and democracy run deep.
This is Fault Lines, a newsletter that explores the forces fracturing our world, the consequences for politics, economics and society, and how we can overcome the discord of the 21st century.
Fault Lines will cover topics like the constitutional politics of Ireland and Britain after Brexit, the future of the Eurozone, the politics of the energy transition, the repercussions of the pandemic and much else in between. Writing from Ireland, there will be special emphasis on the UK, EU, US and China from the perspective of a small country.
You will be able to read each newsletter while having your morning coffee.
