Michael Hüther / Simon Gerards Iglesias / Melinda Fremerey / Sandra Parthie
In the coming years, the world order of exchange and multilateralism, which has so far been shaped by the West, will lose power, and global institutions will find it increasingly difficult to fulfil their mission of balancing interests and promoting international cooperation and development.

China's dependence on the West for imports and technologies
Simon Gerards Iglesias / Jürgen Matthes
There are mutual dependencies between China and the West that have the potential to result in high economic costs for both sides in the event of a geopolitical conflict. Should China actually plan an invasion of Taiwan, the West would be considerably affected by likely reciprocal sanctions, but due to its important position as a supplier of important goods for China, it would by no means be unable to act.
Dependence - What does it mean and where does it exist?
Melinda Fremerey / Simon Gerards Iglesias
The concept of dependency has been at the center of most recent policy debates. The German economy's dependence on exports, Europe's military dependence on the USA and, not least, the Germans' dependence on Russian gas - dependencies seem omnipresent and at the same time hardly solvable.
Economic development through regression - on the prospects for the Russian economy
Simon Gerards Iglesias / Michael Hüther
The war in Ukraine will have profound geopolitical and economic consequences for Russia. The West has imposed sanctions on Russia on an unprecedented scale, largely dissolving decades of economic interdependence.
