| Summary/Abstract |
I WOULD START with the analysis of a topic that we could consider crucial: what is happening along the borders of Italy's southern coast? Analysts who spoke of "world disorder" with reference to the events, which are currently taking place in the Mediterranean region, probably used the most appropriate definition. If we think that last year we celebrated the anniversary of the Yalta Treaty - the 1945 conference that gave rise to a new "world order" - and that after seventy years, with the explosion of different trouble spots all over the world, we should almost go back to talking of "disorder," that idea makes me smile. That scenario was evoked several times, even in the Holy Father's words, when a few years ago, returning from a mission to South Korea, he said: "We entered the Third World War: only it is being fought in pieces, in chapters."
