Europas Entzauberung - Freihandel, Völkerrecht und Friedenssicherung in einer multipolaren Welt

About the event

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 in what position is it in? 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? The event organised by the Protestant Academy of Thuringia in cooperation with Professor 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.
