Envisioning Peace in a Time of War. The New School of Multilateralism
We undeniably have entered a Cold War 2.0-like era, which severely impacts the concepts of security, leadership and alliances – concepts that are no longer fit to ensure enduring peace. This book combines a thorough diagnosis of the current status quo with an outlook on how to reconceptualize international relations between realism and a human-centered approach.
We detect:
• A downward trend of democratic governance
• Eastern modernity and systemic competition
• Dominance of geoeconomics and deterrence
We recommend:
• A new Global Consensus on Peace
• A network-based global order
• Cooperative security
