Il destino della Polonia è oggi nelle mani più di Washington, di Berlino, di Londra e di Parigi - ma anche di Mosca e Kiev - che in quelle di Varsavia
Manlio Graziano
Dopo le elezioni presidenziali del primo maggio, il Paese più importante dell’Europa dell’Est rimane spaccato tra due identità, due visioni del mondo e della propria storia. Per capire perché e come questa spaccatura è decisiva per il futuro (e per il passato) dell’Europa, serve l’analisi geopolitica di Manlio Graziano.
Questo è un episodio zero di un’ipotesi di nuovo podcast prodotto da Appunti che vorremmo sperimentare dopo l’estate.
Fateci sapere cosa ne pensate in modo da poterlo migliorare. Potete anche suggerirci nei commenti i temi sui quali vorreste approfondimenti.
Per approfondire c’è il lungo saggio sul tema che Manlio graziano ha scritto per Appunti (lo trovate qui sotto, ora senza paywall):
Come ogni anno, c’è la summer school dello Spykman Center, il centro studi diretto da Manlio Graziano. Trovate qui sotto le informazioni (c’è anche una mia lezione)
Aspettiamo i vostri riscontri!

Spykman Center Annual Summer School 2025
How to Write a Geopolitical Analysis in Times of War
23rd June – 25th June 2025
Our third edition of our annual online summer school provides an opportunity for undergraduate, postgraduate and PhD students, recent graduates, and young professionals to interact with leaders and their peers in the field of geopolitics to learn how to build strong geopolitical analyses. Participants will benefit from four lecturers covering the geopolitical, economic, religious, and analytical dimensions of analysing world events and producing analyses grounded in a geopolitical framework. Participants will be able to explore the nuts and bolts of creating geopolitical analyses through examples covering the future of Europe amidst global disorder, the divided U.S.-Europe alliance, the shifting geopolitical plates in South Asia, and China’s engagements in buffer regions, taught by our experienced Spykman Analysts. Participants will also get a chance to participate in discussions on the three critical conflicts: Israel-Palestine, Ukraine-Russia and India-Pakistan.
