New Publication: Responding to Crises in Europe
How can Europe respond to war, hybrid threats, democratic erosion and growing geopolitical uncertainty? These questions are at the centre of the newly published volume Responding to Crises in Europe, edited by Lucie Tungul and published by the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies, Campus Tivoli, Institute of European Right and TOPAZ.
Among the contributors is IDM Director Sebastian Schäffer. In his chapter, Containing Russia: International Cooperation, Enlargement and Europe’s Strategic Autonomy, Schäffer argues that European security can no longer be understood solely in military terms. Instead, containing Russian aggression requires sustained international cooperation linking sanctions, defence cooperation, democratic resilience, digital sovereignty and EU enlargement.
The volume brings together leading experts from across Europe on topics including hybrid warfare, democratic resilience, total defence, neutrality and European strategic autonomy. Contributions examine the long-term implications of Russia’s war against Ukraine and the broader challenges facing Europe’s security architecture.
