About
Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and the crumbling of the world order are forcing Greens to do some long, hard thinking about security. This report does just that, with few taboos. Using the concept of “neo-idealism” as a starting point, it draws lessons from the experiences of the Central and Eastern European countries that were the first to raise the alarm about the revival of Russian imperialism. The essays and interviews it contains explore a values-driven approach to military and civil resilience. They highlight the importance of diplomacy and democracy promotion worldwide and of strengthening the social fabric at home for both geopolitical and ecological security. This approach is all the more relevant in the face of a US administration that scorns Europe and can no longer be trusted as an ally.
