POLITICAL: Denmark is now a member of the UN Security Council and must try to contribute to developing or re-establishing respect for the UN's mission. What does the book Liberating the United Nations say? And what about seeing ourselves as part of nature – with the mindsets, systems and objects we surround ourselves with today, it is difficult to understand, according to Jakob Jespersen.

THE GLOBE: The two world wars forced humanity to seek peace and brought about the League of Nations and the United Nations. The pandemic and climate change have shown us that we need a planetary governance, and a planetary politics – but can we achieve this without a despotic world government?

NUCLEAR WEAPONS: The experts say the danger of nuclear war has never been greater than right now. The danger of accidents, nuclear weapons going astray, cyber infiltration and misunderstandings has increased. Here comes a deep dialogue with the nuclear weapons philosophy, where intellectuals have tried to get a grip on the incomprehensible: the threat of the annihilation of the world. And what does Sergej A. Karaganov, foreign policy and military strategic adviser to Putin's government, say? Is the only thing we can do is to postpone the apocalypse, to avert it again and again?
