European Security Put to the Test: Perspectives and Challenges for the Next Decade

Prof. Dr. Klemens H. Fischer

doi:10.5771/9783748929796

Summary

The pandemic and recent cyberattacks have ruthlessly exposed the EU's vulnerability and lack of resilience. The Union's delicate position in a multipolar world, where it advocates multilateralism and at the same time risks being crushed between the US, Russia and China, needs to be responded to with a comprehensive strategy. This book is a contribution to the debate on the EU's future priorities in foreign, security and defence matters.With contributions byKlaus Anderle, Prof. Dr. Klemens Fischer, Christina Kokkinakis, Elisabeth Kornfeind, Franz Leitgeb, Isabella Lindner, Jochen Rehrl, Stefani Weiss und Ursula Werther-Pietsch.
