Editorial: Power shifts are a fundamental phenomenon underpinning
global politics. In 1990, as the bipolar world order finally unravelled,
US political scientist Joseph S. Nye wrote: “Just as farmers and
meteorologists try to forecast storms, so do leaders and analysts try to
understand the dynamics of major changes in the distribution of power
among nations.” by Gerhard Wahlers.

Think Tank “A
think tank, or policy institute, is a research institute that performs
research and advocacy concerning topics such as social policy, political
strategy, economics, military, technology, and culture. Most think tanks
are non-governmental organizations, but some are semi-autonomous
agencies within government or are associated with particular political
parties, businesses or the military. Think tanks are often funded by
individual donations, with many also accepting government grants.” -
