Contemporary States and the Crisis of the Western Order
The authors analyse how contemporary European states attempt to be active actors, responding to the crisis of the international order, in divergent and sometimes contradictory ways. This phenomenon inevitably leads to the undermining of many existing cooperation mechanisms, but it also reveals the limitations in terms of the state actions.
