The world has gone off the rails: In Eastern Europe, Putin is waging war against Ukraine. In the Middle East, the Hamas attack on Israel has revealed the explosive nature of protracted conflicts like the one over Palestine. And in Taiwan, China’s threatening gestures are becoming increasingly dramatic. These crises have led to a shift in our familiar world order. In addition, the global south is irrevocably demanding its right to be heard. New alliances are forming without the West, which is becoming less important on the world stage while simultaneously being confronted with antidemocratic tendencies. In his new book, Die Kriege der Gegenwart [“Present-Day Wars”], former German foreign minister and foreign and security policy expert Joschka Fischer describes what the world order of tomorrow will look like – and what challenges it will present for German and European politics.
