year = {2023},
note = {This review article looks at Attila Àgh’s Awaking Europe in the
triple global crisis, published in 2021. Àgh cites the triple crisis
facing Europe – the socioeconomic crisis, the climate crisis and the
Covid-19 crisis – to which Christophe Solioz adds a fourth: the
security crisis with reference to the war in Ukraine. These add up, in
sum, to a systemic crisis which Solioz argues points to an impending
Age of Transition affecting not just south-eastern Europe, whose
countries are particularly vulnerable, but leading to the
establishment of a new world order in which Europe will need to
reconceptualise itself. In the background of current events, Àgh sees
Europe as ‘awaking’, and thus beginning to rise to the challenges;
Solioz is a little less optimistic as a result of the processes of
fragmentation that have affected the EU in the last fifteen years,
while the autocracies in the region present their own challenges. It
also remains true that actual action is awaited. Nevertheless, he is
clear that, as Europe’s centre of gravity shifts to the east,
largely as a result of the geopolitical impact of the invasion of
Ukraine, it matters that it listens to a clear voice from the
region. },
