Velina has emerged as the world’s foremost analyst of rapidly changing relationships among nations. Well before Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin publicly announced their partnership, Velina had already deemed it as the Dragonbear rival to US-led order. But just as the Dragonbear is now facing unanticipated economic limitations, she has been turning our attention to the newly crowned world’s most populated nation with the world’s highest economic growth rate, India, and to rapidly changing coalitions among other groups of nations which look to be forming alternative economic growth and security clusters.

I fullheartedly recommend Velina as the prime European source of geopolitical expertise in this new era of great power competition that play out in so many and so diverse domains across Eurasia and the wider world. Velina’s observations have often alerted me and kept me aware of what comes next. I never ignored her words

Foresight stands undefeated!
The center of gravity of European affairs is moving away from Western Europe and more towards Eastern and Central Europe. Will have immense consequences not just on Russia but also China.
