Dear Madam or Sir,

The West is under pressure. In our latest Working Paper Dr Patrick Keller, Coordinator for Foreign and Security Policy at the Konrad Adenauer Foundation, finds the West being challenged by authoritarian states, international terrorism and populist movements while at the same time being weakened by a crisis of confidence. What does that signify for the security policy situation of Germany and its allies, and what measures should be taken in reaction?

The Security Policy Working Papers are intended to stimulate debate and help explain current issues.

They can be found on our website: https://www.baks.bund.de/en/working-papers

We hope you enjoy reading them!

Best regards,

Dr. Karl-Heinz Kamp

President

Federal Academy for Security Policy
