From the geopolitical strategy of the Church under the pontificate of Francis, through the role of Latin America in the global confrontation between China and the United States. The management of migratory flows, the very delicate issue of Taiwan, ending with the geopolitics of “gratitude”. These are the themes at the center of Geopolitiks, the geopolitical festival organized by the Futura association and the University of Naples L’Orientale. Many high-caliber guests: from the journalist Marco Imarisio to the former minister Enzo Amendola.
