Der Krieg in Gaza verheißt nichts Gutes für die EU und die USA, da er a) die westlichen Infrastrukturkorridore unterbricht, b) von der China- und Indopazifikpolitik ablenkt und c) den Westen als selbsternannten Verfechter der „regelbasierten Ordnung“ untergräbt.

The global order is shifting from a unipolar world dominated by the West to a multipolar one with Asia emerging as a major centre of gravity. Global South narratives of order have received much less scholarly attention. This article contributes to filling this gap.

The article introduces 'soul' and 'soulcraft' — as an indispensable yet unacknowledged component of statecraft — to IR and Political Science.

The article unpacks the negative consequences of diplomatic discourse such as 'garden/jungle' coming out of the EU, especially as they pertain to the European search for strategic autonomy in the world and EU's competition (through the Global Gateway) with China (and its BRI) in Africa.
