The New Cold War and the Return of History
The Russian war against Ukraine bears far-reaching consequences, even the threat of nuclear warfare. It is thus conceivable that this may be the rebirth of a new era of conflict, the end of the late 20th century unipolar international security architecture under the hegemony of the United States, the end of globalisation and the beginning of a new cold war between the West and the East, argues Christian Breuer in his article for the
Leibniz Information Centre for Economics. NATO is challenged again by an autocratic regime that does not share the values of Western liberalism, while the rise of the Chinese version of a socialist market economy may represent a more sophisticated metamorphosis of communist ideology. The defence of democratic values does not begin in the international landscape; it is challenged in every election in every democratic country.
