The european experience, in the centuries ranging from the discovery of America to the Second World War, saw the alternation between hegemonic attempts by the most powerful State in that phase and the re-establishment of an international balance. The Second World War marked the end of this european order, with the United States and the Soviet Union assuming a central role. A role of growing importance is emerging for countries that even a few decades ago were not in a position to participate in the governance of the international order. This raises the problem of renewing international institutions.

The achievement of a shared international order becomes all the more necessary and urgent in consideration of the aggregation, in this phase of international relations, of more than one rhyme of history, such as: Russia in 1991 with Germany in 1919; the repetition in Asia of A.J.P. Taylor’s Struggle for Mastery in Europe and the sleepwalking of the leaders of the great powers which in 1914 led to the Great War.

October 7,2023 has been a horrific attack with many israelis killed , injured, and abducted. Israel has been shaken to the core. For israeli officials, history starts on october 7. I purport, in this article, that october 7 is not the beginning of history: it is the result of a long history of denial, dispossession and humiliation of the Palestinian people. It is the history of 76 years of zero accountability and total immunity for Israel.

Populism is today a derogatory label that Western political establishments use against political groups which do not share their values. The success of the label has prompted academic circles to try to shape it into a research methodology for the study of political groups rejecting the dominant liberal ideology. Allegations of populism made by the political establishment and mainstream academia against Donald trump show, however, that populism remains a derogatory label with no explanatory value.

To analyse the process of settlement of the transnistrian conflict within the context of geopolitical circumstances, it is considered necessary to highlight the differences in the history of Bessarabia and transnistria, to research ethnic and political specificity of the region, i.e. everything that shaped the historical prerequisites of the conflict. A historical approach is necessary for a more profound understanding of the causes of the transnistrian conflict, therefore the bottom time line of the present research the Romanian annexation of Bessarabia in 1918 and the upper time limit is the annexation of the region by the USSR in 1940.
