    In 2022 and in the first time since the Cold War, European security had made its comeback in public debate. Four years later, new conflicts have emerged, European powers are rearming and now sending vessels in the Mediterranean in the midst of a new US-Israeli-Iranian conflict. Combined with the fragility of historic alliances and the emergence of new major powers, the EU is at an unprecedented crossroads if it wants to guarantee its security.

    How are Europeans looking at these challenges under current circumstances? As the post- Cold War order is coming to an end, how will Europe cope with these challenges? What role could the US and China, as two other major players in the global dynamics, play in this process?
