WORLD.OS - Rethinking International Cooperation in a Multiplex World
World.OS – Rethinking International Cooperation in a Multiplex World explores how international cooperation must evolve in a world where power is no longer concentrated, but distributed. As geopolitical tensions rise and technological competition reshapes global dynamics, traditional models of cooperation—based on aid, asymmetry, and static institutions—are reaching their limits. The podcast examines how countries across the world, often referred to as middle powers, are facing shared challenges in building economic resilience, technological sovereignty, and political agency in an increasingly fragmented global landscape.

EU's Sovereign Tech Package - will we witness the emergence of Global European Tech Giants during the coming decade?
The European Union’s new Sovereign Tech Package is a major industrial policy and economic security initiative designed to strengthen Europe’s capabilities in semiconductors, cloud infrastructure, artificial intelligence, open-source software and the energy systems required for a more digital economy.In this episode, I explain what the package contains, why it represents an important shift in Europ
Economic Security - If NATO was built to protect against rockets, what is the alliance that will protect against economic choke points?
What does “economic security” actually mean — and why is it suddenly everywhere?In this episode, I take a deep dive into one of the most important shifts currently reshaping international cooperation, industrial policy, and geopolitics. From friend-shoring and de-risking to strategic autonomy and supply chain resilience, countries across the globe are increasingly treating technology, infrastructu
Deep Dive into the concept of Partnership-Based Industrial Policy – Part 2: Geo-Economic Alliances
Industrial policy is increasingly shaping the global economy. But there is a fundamental problem: while governments design industrial strategies at the national level, the industries they seek to build operate through deeply international networks of supply chains, innovation ecosystems, talent flows, data infrastructures, and markets.In this second part of the deep dive on partnership-based indus
Deep Dive into the concept of partnership-based industrial policy - Part 1: The return of industrial policy
Industrial policy is back.From the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and CHIPS Act to Europe's Net-Zero Industry Act and China's Made in China 2025 strategy, governments around the world are once again actively shaping markets, supporting strategic industries, and competing for technological leadership.But what exactly is industrial policy? Why has it returned after decades of market-oriented economic
End of Development - a new approach to international cooperation beyond Aid and Global Public Goods
In this episode Julius Murke explores why the traditional concept of “development” no longer fits the realities of a multipolar and geoeconomic world.Drawing from his experience in global health, digital infrastructure, and international cooperation, he argues that today’s geopolitical transformation is not reducing the need for international partnerships — it is fundamentally changing their purpo
Enter international industrial partnerships
In this episode, I explore why international cooperation needs to be fundamentally rethought in a world where power, technology, and economic dependencies are rapidly shifting.I argue that we are moving beyond traditional models of development cooperation, trade, and security policy—and toward something more integrated: a form of partnership built around joint industrial and technological developm
Rethinking Trade: Why the WTO Is Stalling—and What Comes Next
Global trade is no longer what it used to be.As the WTO Ministerial Conference unfolds in Yaoundé, the gap between formal negotiations and real-world economic shifts is becoming impossible to ignore. While talks remain stuck on familiar issues—agriculture, digital trade, development—the real transformation of global trade is happening elsewhere: in industrial policy, supply chains, and strategic p
Pilot - At the Table or on the Menu: Rethinking International Cooperation
Global power is shifting—and for many countries, the stakes are rising fast.In this opening episode of World.OS, I take Mark Carney’s warning seriously: middle powers must act together, or risk being sidelined in a world increasingly shaped by technological competition and geopolitical fragmentation.But this is not just a story about risk. It is a story about opportunity.Across Europe and the Glob
