Academic thinking

Ciro Sbailò argues that the most important geopolitical challenge Western democracies will have to face in the coming decades it will not be their crisis, but the entropic drift of authoritarian regimes. According to Sbailò, the "destiny" of exponential development of Technology, which has its roots in ancient Greek thought, does not tolerate ideological rigidities and requires ever greater integration of legal systems and an infinite development of the rule of law (conceived not as a simple phenomenon , but as the original structure of Western civilization : in this key he reinterprets some classical thinkers such as Parmenides, Plato and Hans Kelsen . Authoritarian regimes are increasingly faced with the alternative between self-reform , which they experience as self-dissolution , or increasingly aggressive and reckless politics, both internally and externally . This should prompt Western countries to engage in greater military and intelligence cooperation , not only to deter military attacks but also to encourage democratic and reformist elites living in authoritarian regimes . In particular, according to the author, the European Union should equip itself with its military defense and strengthen intelligence cooperation, following NATO. To do this, courageous and "asymmetrical" political choices should be taken (such as the military cooperation agreements between Germany and France or between France and Germany), outpacing the decision-making mechanisms in force, forcing Community law to adapt to the political will ; according to Sbailò, this political technique is historically the basis of all the great political taking place in Europe, starting from Middle Age. The growing gap between technology and politics also affects Europe and the United States and is one of the causes of neo-populism and neo-sovereignism
