FEAR AND UNCERTAINTY IN EUROPE GEBUNDEN

Russia's intervention in the Ukraine  Donald Trump's presidency and instability in the Middle
East are just a few of the factors that have brought an end to the immediate post-Cold War
belief that a new international order was emerging: one where fear and uncertainty gave way to
a thick normative and institutional architecture that diminished the importance of material
power. This has raised questions about the instruments we use to understand order in Europe and
in international relations. The chapters in this book aim to assess whether foreign policy
actors in Europe understand the international system and behave as realists. They ask what
drives their behaviour  how they construct material capabilities and to what extent they see
material power as the means to ensure survival. They contribute to a critical assessment of
realism as a way to understand both Europe's current predicament and the contemporary
international system.
