Summary

The authors rightly see themselves as "contemporaries of a presumed >interwar period<" (226). Their diagnoses of the times reflect the uncertainty and tentative search for new security concepts at the end of a long period of European peace. In view of the current reversal of climate policy reform approaches in the EU, the "Yes-we can!" optimism propagated by the authors seems more like whistling loudly in a dark cellar.
