It is not yet clear what will replace the post-Cold War order | Valdai Discussion Club

It is not yet clear what will replace the post-Cold War order in Europe.

Russia professes an increasing turn toward Eurasia; the most recent Russian national security strategy barely mentions Europe.

The US has identified China as its major rival and security challenge in the foreseeable future, and seeks to enlist Europe in this effort.

The EU is still adjusting to the loss of a major member state and contributing economy, while also deliberating its future security and defense capabilities and posture, given a possible reduction in American involvement in Europe.

The OSCE is preparing to celebrate its fiftieth anniversary in 2025, but it remains unclear whether any of the major participating states is prepared to use the Organization as a forum or instrument for anything truly important. 

So, what will the emerging European security order look like? Writes William Hill, Global Fellow at Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies.
