The Director of ASERI, Prof. Damiano Palano, signs a new editorial on the occasion of the release of the first issue of Global Age. Journal of Political Studies and International Thought, inaugurating a reflection on the meaning of the global age as a political and interpretative paradigm of our time. In a world where the boundaries between local and global are blurring and crises are multiplying on a planetary scale, the editorial invites us to read globalization not only as an economic process, but as a profound transformation of politics, society and identities. With this first issue, ASERI relaunches its mission of rigorous analysis and training of excellence, offering a space for critical and interdisciplinary thinking to understand the great challenges of the contemporary world.
