In an era of rapid power politics and technological change, it is essential that Germany and Europe develop a fresh strategy. Caught between the rivalries of the United States and China, our continent must, therefore, review its relationship with Russia. We need to consider the new realities soberly and without any illusions, as Klaus von Dohnanyi does: it is no longer time to rely on ‘communities of values’ or ‘friendships’; it is time for Germany and Europe to formulate their own well-understood interests and pursue them in a realistic manner. The author calls for a fundamental change of direction in foreign security as well as in economic policy—towards a policy of self-reliance rather than unilateral dependencies. A provocative and stimulating book by one of the most prominent politicians of our time.
