Dear Madam or Sir,

due to the changed security situation in Eastern Europe, national and collective defence are a hot topic again. In our Working Paper No. 2/2018 Philipp Lange argues that Germany should therefore redefine its basic concepts for overall defence at a whole-of-government level in order to keep up with the new threats. The paper is now also available in English, and you will find it on our website: https://www.baks.bund.de/sites/baks010/files/working_paper_2018_03.pdf

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

We hope you enjoy reading them!

Best regards,

Dr. Karl-Heinz Kamp

President
Federal Academy for Security Policy
