Author: Giovambattista Scuticchio Foderaro

In the first quarter of 2025, global security dynamics continued to exhibit the familiar contours of great-power competition even as entirely new theatres of contestation emerged. By weaving together traditional metrics - troop posture, defence budgets - with cutting-edge indicators such as quantum-hardened communications, AI-augmented cyber-defences and hypersonic strike capabilities, the Global Security and Defence Index (GSDI) settled at 74.2/100. This analysis unfolds across six interlinked pillars - strategic readiness, budget intensity, cyber capability, alliance integration, regional threat dynamics and technological modernization - before reassessing regional variances and anticipating the principal vectors that will shape Q2 2025.​
