A World in Flux – Towards a New European Architecture Report

A New European Architecture is the answer to the war in Ukraine, as it is to Europe’s struggle with multiple crises – economic pressures, illiberal tendencies, the good and the bad faces of technology advances, institutional adaptation to the changing environment, and, not the least important, military and cyber threats. While we did not pose any question, each of the contributions in this publication offers plenty of excellent answers. More importantly, each and all authors are offering a VISION of a renewed, empowered and strong Europe.
