Testigo de un tiempo incierto

In just over three decades the world we live in has changed radically, going from the end of the Cold War to a hot war between two former Soviet republics: Russia and Ukraine. How did we get here? What historical events have led us to the war in Ukraine? To answer these central questions, Javier Solana reviews the most relevant historical events from the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 to the Russian invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. And he does so from the perspective given by the distance of time and privilege of having been a direct observer, if not a participant, of these events. Witness to an Uncertain Time is not limited to offering a description of past events, but also provides the author's personal reflections on some crucial questions for the international future: How to address relations between the West -especially Europe- and Russia? How to avoid a confrontation between China and the United States? What role should Europe play? What challenges does the transatlantic relationship face and how to manage them? What responsibilities does the North have towards the so-called Global South?
