Ogni volta che esce un nuovo rapporto sull’intelligenza artificiale, mi interessa meno scoprire quale modello sia arrivato primo in classifica e più capire che cosa sia cambiato davvero. Il nuovo AI Index 2026 di Stanford offre qualche risposta. Non è un documento…
From IEEPA emergency tariffs to a multi-statute architecture The Supreme Court did not end the tariff era. It forced the administration to rebuild it on different legal foundations — and what emerged is, in some respects, more durable than what…
The European Union’s sanctions policy has gradually moved beyond the traditional model of restrictive measures directed at particular countries. One of the clearest expressions of this development is the EU Global Human Rights Sanctions Regime, established in December 2020 to enable…

Cyber operations have become an increasingly important dimension of international security. They may disrupt critical infrastructure, interfere with public institutions, compromise classified information or affect essential services without crossing a territorial border in the traditional sense.

Germany did not win globalisation in general. It won a particular globalisation — one that handsomely rewarded countries willing to run persistent trade surpluses, hold wages down, starve domestic demand, and ride a real exchange rate that competitors locked inside the euro…
The Islamabad Memorandum of 2026 has been compared to the JCPOA — sometimes as its successor, sometimes as its replacement, sometimes as proof that diplomacy with Iran can work. The comparison is understandable but misleading. The two agreements differ in…
A recent Bank of Italy paper, China Shock 2.0: Structural Drivers and Implications for the Euro Area, argues that the post-pandemic surge in Chinese exports marks a new phase of competitive pressure on Europe. This is not simply a replay of…
Europe 2031 is one of the most stimulating contributions to the current debate on artificial intelligence, technological sovereignty, and Europe’s place in a rapidly changing geopolitical order. Written as a fictional scenario rather than a conventional policy report, it succeeds…
Innovation is not the same thing as invention. Invention produces novelty; innovation transforms novelty into value. That transformation depends on an ecosystem: capital able to finance uncertainty, markets large enough to reward scale, institutions fast enough to enable experimentation, and…
Governor Fabio Panetta’s “Concluding Remarks,” delivered on 29 May 2026, paint a picture of a surprisingly resilient global economy shaken by a new energy shock — and point to artificial intelligence as the decisive battleground for Italy’s future. Every year,…

The United States supported China’s accession to the WTO primarily because policymakers believed it would advance three interrelated objectives — and understanding what those objectives were helps explain, I think, much of the disillusionment that followed. Yes, there is a…
A recent CEPR study “The European Union under pressure? Exploring Chinese trade deflection,” examines a question I consider central to the current EU economic security debate: whether US tariffs on Chinese goods have caused a redirection of Chinese exports toward third…
