Balancing in the chain of chokepoints; from sea-based deterrence to pluralistic diplomacy

Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.

What is the new position of the dollar in the global economy?

2023/05/31

Strategic Council Online—Opinion: The confrontation between Americanization and the Chineseization of the world has created a new acting field. While the Chinese side’s efforts to reduce the international power of the dollar and increase the global acceptance of the yuan have an increasing trend, it is not possible to correctly analyze and scenarioize the possible futures of this confrontation and the new arena of acting by relying on emotional and exaggerated reactions, and of course far from scientific neutrality.

Strategic Council Online – Opinion: Statistical data shows that in the fourth quarter of 2022, the German economy has suffered a slight decline and it is possible that a period of recession will begin in that country; a recession, which of course, is less than what should be worried about.

A Glance at Recent Fundamental Changes of Global Parity Rate of Euro versus US Dollar

A Glance at Recent Fundamental Changes of Global Parity Rate of Euro versus US Dollar

2022/07/23

Strategic Council Online – Opinion
The parity rate of the Euro versus the US dollar came to equality within the last few days. On July 14, 2022, one euro was traded at $ 1.0032 indicating a fall of 11.8% of the Euro value against the US dollar in comparison with the same day last year. Generally, among the factors for such developments are:
– the unfavorable economic perspective of Eurozone because of the Russian invasion of Ukraine
– Dubious approach of the European Central Bank
– The U.S. Federal Reserve Bank approach coupled with risk
