The world as we knew it is tipping: the rules-based order is eroding, international institutions are being hollowed out, and where the law should apply, violence is increasingly taking over. Since the annexation of Crimea in 2014, the Kremlin has openly pursued a neo-imperial agenda – and historical experience teaches us: this policy does not stop at the borders of Ukraine. At the same time, America is becoming a factor of uncertainty, and Europe finds itself in turbulent waters.

For Joachim Gauck, it is crucial whether we can translate our fears into action: into a more autonomous defense capability, into strategic economic adjustments in the age of AI, and into robust resilience against authoritarian attacks on democracy.

In cooperation with the 37th Heidelberg Symposium & krisenFest?!
