Is Europe doomed to civilisational oblivion? Have Europeans stepped out of history? Is Europe now nothing more than a museum open to the elements? This, at any rate, is the narrative peddled by predatory states such as Russia, the United States and China, united in their contempt for Europe, and all too often internalised by Europeans themselves, who start out already defeated.
Having first heralded the 'age of predators' (2020), then the 'return of war' to Europe (2021), and foreshadowed a world reshaped by a re-elected Trump (2024), François Heisbourg demonstrates in this new book that this narrative is not the result of an inevitable evolution, but the product of the desires and hatreds of some, and a reflection of the fears and lack of confidence of others. Compared to its adversaries, our Europe possesses decisive strengths, particularly in areas where one might not necessarily expect them: demography, economics, technology, defence, governance.
From Ukraine to Greenland, Europe has begun to show that it can, when it chooses to, counter the territorial ambitions of Russia and the United States, and that it knows how to establish a balance of power in the face of the commercial appetites of predatory powers.
This Europe - and France in particular - is not abandoning its values: it is simply learning that the rule of law now needs to be defended, including by force, in the world as it has become.
