Shared Borders, Shared Futures
1/21/2026 2:21:53 PM
Peace doesn’t always fall apart because of distant rivals. Peace breaks down because neighbours stop talking. Borders are challenged, and trust chipped away. Small disagreements fester and become permanent. In a world full of global flash points, it’s often relationships between neighbouring countries that quietly decide whether a region moves forward or stays stuck. That idea sits at the centre of one episode in a podcast series I’ve been working on about global governance and a shared future for humanity. While preparing it, I kept noticing the same pattern: when neighbours choose dialogue over pressure and cooperation over rivalry, development follows. When they don’t, stability becomes fragile. That’s why wise leaders pay closer attention to regional partnerships, and why they matter so much for lasting peace.
