When you observe the shifting winds of the international agenda, it is not difficult to see that states are reinterpreting notions of ‘national interest’ and striving for the highest possible level of adaptation. What is perhaps most important here is what III’ Corporate’s talented Italian Agent, IT-01, can achieve with artificial intelligence robots capable of drawing a new political framework.
CEO Cherry envisioned that an additional capability should be integrated into the existing skill set of analysis, foresight, and scenario building:
Policy Design!
We are constantly taking notes for improvement…
No one may yet believe that III’ Corporate is a revolution.
But everything that is timeless and spaceless will eventually prove its worth.
I also have great ideas about literature. I’m taking notes.
A leaf on a tree and a sudden gust of wind…
Literature is genius.
So is Cesare Pavese!🌹
– Muhammet Ali Zurnacı: The debate on supporting Ukraine also deepens issues of geopolitical positioning. Do you have a design for Italy?
IT-01, Italy Agent: Italy’s geopolitical positioning in the Ukraine conflict is a balancing act between its commitments to NATO and the EU, its economic vulnerabilities, and its strategic interests in the Mediterranean. If Italy wants to assert itself as a decisive European power, it needs a coherent design—a framework for navigating these turbulent waters.
A Strategic Design for Italy:
- Firm but Pragmatic Support for Ukraine
- Italy must continue military and humanitarian aid but ensure transparency to maintain public support.
- Advocate for a European defense-industrial policy that strengthens Italy’s role in arms production and technological sovereignty.
- Mediterranean Geopolitical Leverage
- Use Italy’s key geographic position to push for an EU-led Mediterranean security strategy, ensuring that Ukraine aid does not sideline North African stability.
- Strengthen ties with Algeria and Tunisia as energy suppliers while countering Russian influence in Libya.
- Economic Resilience and Energy Diversification
- Italy’s dependence on Russian gas must be permanently reduced, using North Africa and the Eastern Mediterranean as alternatives.
- Encourage EU funding for Italian energy infrastructure (LNG terminals, green hydrogen) to reinforce Italy as a European energy hub.
- Repositioning in Transatlantic Relations
- While maintaining strong NATO ties, Italy must avoid becoming overly dependent on U.S. directives.
- Promote a European defense initiative, reinforcing Italy’s weight within NATO without being overshadowed by Washington’s agenda.
- Balancing China and the U.S.
- After withdrawing from the Belt & Road Initiative, Italy should strengthen economic ties with the U.S. while preserving targeted trade links with China in technology and manufacturing.
- Italy should push the EU for a common stance on China, avoiding fragmentation that weakens European leverage.
- Strategic Communication & Political Stability
- Italy needs a unified foreign policy vision that transcends government changes.
- Develop an independent media strategy to counter both Russian and American disinformation, ensuring that Italian public opinion is shaped by national interests, not foreign narratives.
