Today, the world is witnessing unprecedented levels of instability and uncertainty, from the U.S. President’s nationalistic “America First” policy, to Brexit, to North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs. Furthermore, in the international cooperation arena, many are raising concerns about the effectiveness of the UN's interventions, in particular on how to resolve serious conflicts.
