Beskrivning
The End of the West is a timely guide to Europe’s place in a world that the West no longer runs.For eighty years Europeans have treated “the West” as a permanent fact: a community of democracies led and protected by the United States.This book argues that it was a historical exception, which is now ending. Ranging from ancient Greece and Rome to the present day, Marchetti shows that there have been three Wests, and that the American-led one - born with NATO in 1949 - is the most fragile. America is turning inward under Donald Trump, China and the Global South are rising, and recent shocks, from COVID-19 to the war in Ukraine, have exposed how dependent Europe has become.Rather than lamenting this decline, the book sets out a practical strategy. It defines European strategic autonomy not as a break with America but as the capacity to act, and builds it on five pillars: defence, economic and financial sovereignty, technology, energy, and demography. It shows where Europe can find new partners, from India and Japan to Africa and Latin America, and closes with three scenarios for 2040: renaissance, dependency or fragmentation.Written in clear language, The End of the West will be of great interest to students and scholars of Politics, International Relations, and Security and Strategic Studies, as well as more general readers interested in geopolitics and the future of world order.

Recensioner i media

“A wake up call for the European pride full of thoughts, data and facts. And first of all full of hope.”Enrico Letta, Dean of the School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs, IE University“An extremely timely and thought-provoking book that examines how recent global developments, especially US policies, under the Donald Trump Presidency, have led to the unraveling of “the West,” and what it might mean for Europe. The author’s cautious hope that Europe can carve out its own space in the “post-Western” world, is refreshingly counter to much pessimism that prevails in European capitals. A must read for anyone interested in the future of world order and Europe’s place in it.”Amitav Acharya, American University, Washington, DC and author of The Once and Future World Order
