Miscellanea |
Current crises make us re-evaluate the past and rethink possible futures. The war in Ukraine in combination with an energy crisis, financial problems and climate change is that kind of a “polycrisis”. The attack on Ukraine has prompted claims like that of a “new Cold War”, has revived ideas of a “West” and an “Us vs. Them”. The history of Transatlantic Relations has seen many crises, though, recurring claims for more burden sharing as well as discussions over the legitimacy of military means. Historicising and contextualizating important instances of Transatlantic Relations will allow us to evaluate the situation in the face of the Ukraine war and other crises today. In doing so will have a special emphasis on the role of the media, especially in reporting wars and other crises. |
