Hard Power in Hard Times

More about the book

Focusing on the challenges posed by military provocation, mass migration, and terrorism, the book evaluates the capacity of European leaders to employ hard power solutions. It highlights significant events, such as Russia's annexation of Crimea and Europe's refugee crisis, while questioning the strategic thinking of British, French, and German governments. The analysis extends to NATO and the EU, assessing their effectiveness in addressing these pressing issues and whether European politicians can adapt to the demands of hard power in contemporary geopolitics.
