In this episode of Unconventional Knowledge, Prince Michael of Liechtenstein speaks with Professor Christoph Frei about the global shift away from Western dominance.

The conversation explores why this transition is historically natural yet deeply unsettling for Europe. They discuss Europe’s loss of strategic agency, its reliance on regulation over power, and the widening gap between European self-perception and how the world increasingly views it.

They also examine the pragmatism of the so-called “global majority”, their positioning between major powers, and their rejection not of Western values, but of hypocrisy and moralizing without capability.

A sober, forward-looking discussion on power, realism, and Europe’s place in a world that no longer revolves around the West.
