“The wound is the place where the Light enters you”

Wounds in international politics are not merely the consequences of crises and conflicts, but points at which the system exposes its vulnerability. They reveal the weak spots of states, fractures in alliances, and the limits of trust and stability. Yet it is precisely through these ruptures that rethinking becomes possible: old patterns of behavior cease to work, and the need arises to seek new forms of interaction.
