World in Danger : Germany and Europe in an Uncertain Time

A vision of a European future of peace and stability despite the present gloomThe world appears to be at another major turning point.

Tensions between the United States and China threaten a resumption of great power conflict.

Global institutions are being tested as never before, and hard-edged nationalism has resurfaced as a major force in both democracies and authoritarian states.

From the European perspective, the United States appears to be abdicating its global leadership role.

Meanwhile, Moscow and Beijing eagerly exploit every opportunity to pit European partners against one another. But a pivot point also offers the continent an opportunity to grow stronger.

In World in Danger, Wolfgang Ischinger, Germany's most prominent diplomat, offers a vision of a European future of peace and stability.

Ischinger examines the root causes of the current conflicts and suggests how Europe can successfully address the most urgent challenges facing the continent.

The European Union, he suggests, is poised to become a more powerful actor on the world stage, able to shape global politics while defending the interests of its 500 million citizens.

This important book offers a practical vision of a Europe fully capable of navigating these turbulent times.
