The Europe’s east and south, wrote authors, old orders are giving way and new threats emerging that pose an existential challenge to core European interests. We cannot insulate ourselves from the impact of Russia’s attack on the post-Cold War European system, or from the breakdown of states and spread of conflict in the Middle East and North Africa, alone with the surge of migration and terrorism these changes have spawned. Further afield, shifts in the distribution of global power and changing economics and technological trends have reshaped the environment in which the EU seeks to define its place.
