Abstract

This paper interrogates the converging crises of information warfare, nuclear instability, and irregular migration as not merely isolated geopolitical challenges, but as interlocking fault lines accelerating civilizational drift. Drawing from a multidisciplinary theoretical framework, ranging from neoclassical migration theory and securitization theory to post-structuralist conceptions of power, the study demonstrates how disinformation campaigns now destabilize democratic legitimacy, how nuclear intimidation tactics erodes global governance norms, and how unregulated migratory flows strain the institutional capacities and socio-political fabrics of both sending and receiving states. Through grounded case studies (from the Trump administration’s norm-breaking governance, to the weaponization of migration in Russia’s hybrid warfare, and the demographic haemorrhage of skilled professionals from Nigeria) the paper reveals a feedback loop where crises compound, societies polarize, and institutional resilience wanes. Ultimately, this work argues that we are witnessing not simply a series of policy failures, but a more profound erosion of the epistemic, demographic, and normative anchors of the modern world. The convergence of these threats signals a civilizational turning point, one where the mechanisms that once guaranteed stability are now producing entropy.
