Synopsis
This three-volume publisher edition gathers, in a single coherent strategic corpus, the full research program developed by the author on the political-military, financial and techno-doctrinal transformation triggered by the Iranian crisis of 2025–2026 and by the broader geopolitical shift from a Western-centred liberal order to a multipolar architecture in which the so-called "powerless" — middle powers, proxies, networks of the Global South — have become decisive agents.
The work is conceived as an open scientific contribution. It does not advocate; it does not prophesy. It maps. It dissects mechanisms, doctrines, supply chains, financial plumbing, sub-marine cables, deterrence postures, sanction regimes and ideological narratives, and it traces the long arc that connects the asymmetry of Vietnam, the doctrine born from Yom Kippur, the Soviet experience in Afghanistan, the Hezbollah laboratory in Lebanon, the Ukrainian theatre after 2022 and the Iranian inflection point of the so-called "Twelve-Day War" — to the proliferation, leapfrog and de-dollarisation dynamics that will shape the 2026–2030 decade.
The reader holds three volumes that can be read independently or as a single
