The Third Path
The post-Cold War international order is rupturing. Great-power rivalry, economic weaponization, technological competition, and institutional paralysis have shattered the assumptions that once underpinned global stability. The old system of predictability, rules-based cooperation, and collective security has given way to a more volatile era in which power is fluid, alliances are conditional, and resilience matters more than rhetoric.In The Third Path: Middle Powers and the Reconstruction of Global Order, Mohamed Nejib Gorgi provides both a diagnosis of this transformation and a practical strategic framework for navigating it. Drawing on diplomatic experience and comparative analysis, the book argues that middle powers are no longer mere bystanders in great-power competition-they are central actors in shaping the emerging order.Instead of neutrality or bloc alignment, Gorgi advocates a distinct "third path" grounded in principled realism. This doctrine rests on four pillars: normative clarity, decision discipline, adaptive strategy, and coalition-building among like-minded states. It offers calibrated autonomy within interdependence, rejecting both isolationism and dependency.Central to the book is a hierarchy of principles that clearly distinguishes non-negotiable red lines-such as sovereignty, territorial integrity, and core security interests-from important but secondary objectives like human rights, democratic governance, economic fairness, and sustainable development. This hierarchy enables middle powers to act with strategic coherence in a fragmented world.Gorgi also introduces a practical decision matrix to help policymakers evaluate trade-offs, manage dependencies, assess risks, and decide when to act unilaterally or collectively-bridging theory and effective statecraft.A key argument is that resilience has become the defining currency of international politics. Economic diversification, technological sovereignty, institutional strength, and social cohesion are now vital instruments of geopolitical survival. Through case studies of countries including Canada, Australia, Poland, South Korea, Indonesia, and Turkey, the book shows how middle powers are already practicing hedging, balancing, and coalition-building in response to systemic uncertainty.The third path is not a rejection of global order but an effort to reconstruct it. The book proposes five guiding pillars-sovereignty, territorial integrity, human rights, sustainable development, and solidarity-as the foundation for a more resilient and legitimate international system.Forward-looking and practical, The Third Path outlines short-, medium-, and long-term strategies for middle powers. It introduces usable tools such as a strategic decision matrix, resilience indicators, and a model national doctrine for an era of global fragmentation.Ultimately, the book challenges the assumption that only great powers shape the international system. Gorgi argues that middle powers-collectively representing a major share of global economic output and institutional weight-can significantly influence the future order if they act with coherence, discipline, and strategic patience.This is a book about agency. It shows how states that are neither superpowers nor small powers can navigate rupture without surrendering autonomy or values-and how, through principled realism and coordinated action, they can help build a more stable, balanced, and legitimate global order.In an age of fragmentation and uncertainty, The Third Path offers a clear, pragmatic answer to the question: what comes after the collapse of certainty?

The Fire Next Door
The Fire Next Door: Future Scenarios of the Iran Conflict is not a prediction. It is a map.In late February 2026, after years of shadow war and a devastating twelve¿day exchange the previous summer, the United States and Israel launched Operation Epic Fury-the largest coordinated military campaign against a sovereign Middle Eastern state since the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Within seventy¿two hours, Iran's declared nuclear infrastructure lay in ruins, Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei was dead, and the Strait of Hormuz was closed. The world watched as oil prices spiked to $160 a barrel, Hezbollah fired its largest rocket barrage in history, and the region teetered on the edge of nuclear use.Yet even as the bombs fell, veteran Tunisian diplomat and political scientist Mohamed Nejib Gorgi was writing a different kind of war book: one that refuses to predict the future but instead maps its plausible trajectories. Drawing on two decades of diplomatic service across Europe and Australasia, a doctorate in political science, and deep regional knowledge, Gorgi offers a rigorous, scenariöbased analysis of the Iran¿Israel conflict. He strips away the rhetoric and examines the raw machinery of each player's strategic logic-their wants, their fears, their capabilities, and, critically, their limitations.The Fire Next Door explores five distinct futures: the fragile stalemate of a frozen conflict, the grinding attrition of a long war, the catastrophic speed of a regional conflagration, the chaotic opportunity of an internal Iranian collapse, and the fragile hope of a diplomatic off¿ramp. Each scenario is grounded in the physical realities of the Middle East-the chokepoints of Hormuz and Bab el¿Mandeb, the geology of Fordow's mountain bunkers, the karstic tunnels of southern Lebanon, the flight time of hypersonic missiles, and the invisible geography of cyber and undersea cables.But this is not an abstract exercise. The book also profiles the key actors-Israel, Iran, the United States, the Gulf monarchies, Hezbollah, the Houthis, Turkey, Russia, China, and Europe-and examines their shifting interests in real time. It dissects the economic dimensions of the war: energy markets, financial systems, supply chains, and the human cost of sanctions and blockade. It exposes the information war that has poisoned public discourse and made compromise nearly impossible. And it offers ten pragmatic principles for de¿escalation, drawn from the hard lessons of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the JCPOA, and the ceasefire that finally took effect in April 2026.What makes this book unique is its vantage point. Gorgi is neither an Israeli nor an Iranian nor a Western partisan. He is an Arab diplomat from Tunisia-a country that has navigated its own revolution, democratic transition, and return to authoritarianism. He brings the restraint of someone who has sat across negotiating tables and the urgency of someone who believes that clarity about plausible futures is the only responsible response to uncertainty. He writes with empathy for all sides, but with a cold eye for the structural forces-historical trauma, technological acceleration, proxy entanglement, and great¿power rivalry-that have already made the Middle East more dangerous than at any time since 1979.The ceasefire of April 2026 is a pause, not a peace. The fire next door is not out; it is smouldering. This book is a warning, a tool, and an invitation to choose a different path. Essential reading for policymakers, analysts, students, and citizens who refuse to let the future be written only by missiles."The future is not a prediction. It is a choice. And the time to make it is now."

The Unravelling World
The comforting fiction of a rules¿based international order has collapsed. What remains is a harsher reality: a world where power is unconstrained, alliances are transactional, and institutions once thought permanent are paralyzed. The Unraveling World: Geopolitics Without Restraint is a sweeping, deeply researched exploration of how global politics has shifted from optimism to anxiety, from cooperation to coercion, and from restraint to raw competition.Drawing on decades of diplomatic insight and rigorous scholarship, Mohamed Nejib Gorgi traces the dissolution of post¿Cold War optimism and the return of great power rivalry. He examines the philosophical foundations of realism, the rise of China and Russia as revisionist challengers, and the erosion of liberal institutions that once promised collective security. Each chapter dissects the mechanisms of disruption: economic weaponization, information warfare, hybrid conflicts, and the collapse of multilateral trust. Through case studies ranging from the U.S.-China trade war to Russian energy coercion, the book reveals how interdependence itself has become a weapon.This is not merely a chronicle of decline. It is a guide to understanding the structural transformation of global politics. Gorgi explains how alliances have shifted from ideological solidarity to instrumental partnerships, how social media has become a battlefield of epistemological erosion, and how crises in climate, pandemics, and cybersecurity expose the fragility of cooperative frameworks. He shows that what we face is not a cyclical downturn but a fundamental reordering of the international system.For policymakers, scholars, and engaged citizens, The Unraveling World offers pragmatic strategies for adaptation. It argues for building resilient coalitions among like¿minded states, strengthening democratic institutions, and developing strategic autonomy while preserving beneficial interdependence. It calls for credible deterrence, enhanced crisis stability, and limited cooperation on existential threats. Above all, it insists on realism, resilience, and responsibility as the guiding principles for navigating a fractured order.Written with clarity and urgency, this book is both diagnosis and prescription. It illuminates the forces that have dismantled the pleasant fiction of global harmony and maps the pathways toward survival in a world where restraint is no longer assumed. Whether you are a student of international relations, a practitioner of diplomacy, or a reader seeking to understand the headlines of our time, The Unraveling World provides the intellectual tools and strategic vision to confront the age of disruption.Key themes explored:The collapse of post¿Cold War optimism and the rise of anxiety in global politicsPhilosophical foundations of realism and its limits in today's paradigmThe resurgence of great power competition: U.S., China, Russia, and triangular dynamicsEconomic statecraft, coercion, and the weaponization of interdependenceInstitutional paralysis in the UN, WHO, IMF, and WTOInformation warfare, cyber operations, and the erosion of shared realityHybrid conflicts, grey zone operations, and proxy confrontationsChallenges to collective action on climate, pandemics, nuclear proliferation, and digital commonsPathways to resilience: deterrence, coalition¿building, autonomy, and democratic renewalAt once sobering and empowering, The Unraveling World: Geopolitics Without Restraint is a definitive account of our turbulent era. It reminds us that while the pleasant fiction has ended, agency and choice remain. The task is not to restore a vanished order but to adapt wisely to the one that has emerged.

Asian Financial Crisis and Subprime Crisis : Econometric Mehodology
This book, explores the characteristics associated with the stock market that occurred in the Hong Kong in 1997 to 2000. The evidence of a long memory in volatility, however, shows that uncertainty or risk is a significant determinant of the behavior of daily stock data in the Hong Kong stock market. The FIGARCH process implies a finite persistence of volatility shocks while the GARCH structure doesn't. Nonetheless, an IGARCH model implies a total persistence of shock. We examine and forecast the House Price Index (HPI) and mortgage market rate in terms of the description of the subprime crisis. We use a semi-parametric local polynomial Whittle estimator proposed by Shimotsu et al. (2005) in a long memory parameter time series.
