In light of a number of recent global developments, Europe’s role as an ally of the United States appears to have changed. Nowadays, what is at stake is nothing less than the ability of our continent to chart its own course. Twenty years after joining the European Union, it is not only the Central and Eastern Europeans who are worried about the future prospects of the old continent. Amid the many far-reaching tectonic shifts occurring in the world order, significant changes can be observed in global power structures. In the midst of these processes, Europe appears to be without ideas, direction, and leadership. As a result, achieving ‘strategic autonomy’1 for our continent is more difficult than ever, though it is precisely in such complicated times that this autonomy is most relevant, timely, and necessary.
