Europe's demystification - free trade, international law and peacekeeping in a multipolar world

The old continent of Europe is floundering. Author Daniel Marwecki is one of the first to dare to analyse the situation: in the ruins of the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, the contours of a new world are emerging. Donald Trump is the western decline manager who is transforming the USA from an empire back into a nation state. Europe is stumbling unsuspectingly into the new, multipolar world. In the shadow of all this, decolonisation is - belatedly - taking effect.

What is geopolitical Europe and what is its situation? What can it do now, what should it be able to do tomorrow - socially, legally, economically, ecologically and, above all, militarily? How can it move from uncontrolled drifting to sovereign control? These questions will be addressed at the event organised by the Protestant Academy of Thuringia in cooperation with Professor Dr Sophia Hoffmann and the Security Capitalism Research Group at the University of Erfurt will address these questions.

Daniel Marwecki teaches International Relations at the University of Hong Kong. The conference will be chaired by Dr Dr Frank Fehlberg will chair the conference.
