The Euro-Atlantic security order and the war in Ukraine (Patricia Daehnhardt)

Abstract: “Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has sealed the collapse of the European security order created after 1991, the end of peace and the return of war in Europe. In its place, a confrontational international disorder is emerging, characterized by the weakening of the rules-based international order and the ideological crystallization between democracies and autocracies. The article assesses how the US and the EU have responded to the war in Ukraine while forging a new transatlantic security architecture. While this war has already shattered the European post-Cold War order, it may become the prelude to the first war of the ongoing power transition between the United States and China.”
