Joschka Fischer delivers a penetrating analysis of German politics amidst a global era of disruption, asking how the nation must adapt to secure its sovereignty.
As the first quarter of the 21st century concludes, the world is undergoing radical transformations: intensifying great power rivalries, the AI revolution, and the rise of the Global South. What does this mean for Germany - the world’s third-largest industrial power, yet a country that remains militarily hesitant and historically post-national?
Fischer argues that with the US retreating as a security guarantor and Europe facing existential threats, the status quo is no longer tenable. He explores how Germany can justify the trust earned from former enemies after 1945 while courageously confronting the new military, technological, and political realities required to survive in a transformed world.
