Der Abstieg des Westens

Turning Point – what follows the "Century of the West"? The profound and much-discussed analysis by former Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer on the end of Western dominance and the beginning of a new world order. In recent years, we have all witnessed dramatic breaks in international politics, including Donald Trump's election as US President, Brexit, and the rise of nationalist, authoritarian, and xenophobic parties and politicians in Europe. In his study, Joschka Fischer examines the underlying geopolitical shifts, the end of the "Century of the West," the unstoppable rise of China as a new world power, and the dramatic upheavals that are paving the way for a new era in world history. He also reflects on the dangerous processes of self-dismantling that the Western world is experiencing and the threats to peace posed by nationalism and isolationism, which also affect Europe.
