In 2018, the interactions between economic and geopolitical dimensions become visible as particularly intense. The apparently opposite strategies of the United States and China, with protectionism as a new front of friction, complicate the recovery of the world economy.

The role of Europe presents undefined, both in the internal front and in its external role. In our closest environment, the Mediterranean continues to present frictions, derived both from economic inequalities and from political turbulence in several of its areas. The aspects that deserve reflection and analysis are therefore especially broad.
