Architects and artisans: the winners and losers after the Iran US peace deal is signed

While the ink is beginning to dry with a peace deal between the US and Iran allowing the oil to flow again and global trade to resume another war is brewing and it could potentially be more lethal.Right now Europe has a billion-dollar trade deficit with China, exacerbated by US sanctions, the closing of the Strait of Hormuz but more importantly a changing world order and alliances where Europe and the US are no longer the architects of global power.Enter, ‘artisans’  like China.Co-founder of the European Council for Foreign Relations, Mark Leonard in his new book, Surviving Chaos: Geopolitics When the Rules Fail says the architects of the world order like the  UK and US who created a framework for a global order after WW11 are losing grip on power as  artisans like China take their blueprint and recreate it for their benefit.
