About this report
In recent years, the European strategic debate has revived a theme thought to have been buried with the end of the Cold War: the persistence of war as a structural element of international politics.
The wars in the Balkans, the long era of counterterrorism, Russia’s return as a revisionist power, and China’s rise have gradually undermined the idea of a global order built on stability and the linear expansion of liberal peace. It is in this context that Jean-Baptiste Jeangène Vilmer, jurist and director of the Institut de recherche stratégique de l’École militaire (IRSEM), published Le réveil stratégique.
Key questions this report answers
- How does the report revive the theme of war as a structural element of international politics thought buried with the Cold War?
- What arguments does Jean-Baptiste Jeangène Vilmer advance in Le réveil stratégique from his position at IRSEM?
- How have the Balkan wars, counterterrorism, Russia's revisionism, and China's rise undermined the idea of a liberal peace order?
- What does Europe's strategic awakening require if the linear expansion of liberal peace is no longer assured?
Who it's for
