Scenario – The Future Is at Stake

The political future of the world seems wide open – what does it hold for us?

The future seems more frightening than it did just a few years ago. What it will look like doesn’t depend solely on Russia and the US, but on a large number of players. By taking stock of what we actually know, what we don’t know, and above all, what options for action are available, we retrieve the feeling that we too have a role to play in our future.

Florence Gaub invites readers to make their own foreign policy decisions: Instead of merely being spectators of more or less plausible scenarios, readers can follow different decision-making paths. The book provides insights into possible decision-making processes and imparts a sense of self-determination.

  • A book to make foreign policy concrete and vivid: crisis hotspots, options for action, consequences
  • The NATO thinker provides an innovative introduction to the world of international power and military logic
  • For readers of Herfried Münkler and Carlo Masala
