Current Issue
The second issue of Strategic Impact journal, number 95/2025, examines security in a world marked by uncertainty and rapid change. In this edition we find articles addressing how European and global defense postures must adapt after a conflict that reshaped geopolitical realities. Moving from military dynamics to the power of ideas, another article revisits formative texts that influenced identity, legitimacy, and long-term tensions. The cognitive dimension of conflict is explored in one article which reveals how language and symbolic models shape strategic perception. Technological transformations are at the center of an article assessing how automation and decision-support systems may alter stability, escalation, and control. Together, these studies illustrate how security is built at the intersection of history, discourse, technology, and human contribution.
