Joschka Fischer <br>„Wer sind wir?“
As the first quarter of the 21st century draws to a close, it is undeniable—the world is undergoing sweeping geopolitical, technological, and economic transformations:
the intensified rivalry among major world powers, the revolution in artificial intelligence, the rise of the Global South.
What does this mean for today’s Germany, for the country at the heart of Europe, still the third-strongest industrial nation in the world, yet post-national due to its fractured history and virtually invisible as a military power?
Can this remain the case in the face of new military threats to Europe, the withdrawal of the U.S. as a guarantor power, and the danger of falling behind technologically and economically?
The secret of Germany’s post-1945 resurgence was the trust that the former enemies of the war placed in the country at the heart of Europe.
Former Foreign Minister Joschka Fischer shows what it means today to continue to live up to this trust while at the same time courageously confronting the entirely new threats of the 21st century—militarily, technologically, and politically.
