Die neuen Warlords. Gewaltdynamiken einhegen / Friedensgutachten 2026

Book Presentation

Die imperialistische Großmachtpolitik ändert die Vorzeichen von Krieg, Frieden und Sicherheit. Staaten agieren zunehmend wie Warlords und setzen Krieg als Mittel der Politik ein. Übergänge von Gewaltkonflikten zu Frieden werden als „Deals“ behandelt, Mittelmächte treten mit neuem Selbstbewusstsein, aber ambivalentem Kurs auf, und technologische Innovation verändert Kriege und erschwert die Regulierung. Zugleich befindet sich die internationale Kooperation in der Friedenssicherung in ihrer schwersten Krise. Das Friedensgutachten 2026 analysiert Optionen, dennoch Frieden zu fördern.
