In a world that is becoming progressively more challenging, marked by the constant emergence of traditional and new challenges, the level of uncertainty in both bilateral and multilateral relations is consistently on the rise. The intricate interplay of interdependencies and conflicting interests creates a complex web of international relations, with national security concerns taking center stage on the global agenda. Meanwhile, Greece's relations with the U.S. are at their best. The paper attempts, through the historical retrospection of Greek-American relations and the investigation of the process of the formation of international relations, to illuminate the perspective of the evolution of Greek-American relations, taking into account the wider geopolitical context of the Southeast Mediterranean, with the use of Strategic Foresight, recognizing that Strategic Foresight can be applied to international and bilateral relations and provide a range of benefits for states and other stakeholders.
