At the start of the year 2008, the global strategic situation is determined by four trends. In the Middle East, there are some limited signs of stabilization, but sustainable political progress has so far remained elusive. On the other hand, there is a threat of regional destabilization in Southwest Asia and East Africa. As far as proliferation is concerned, tensions have relaxed to some extent, which may well only be a temporary phenomenon, however. While the forced change in Washington's foreign policy course has strengthened the capacity of the US and the West to act, the coordination of Western governance efforts with Russia and the rising powers of Asia remains a significant challenge.
