Book by Josep Borrell Fontelles, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission

2024 has confirmed how much Europe is in danger.

From Ukraine to the Middle East, via South Caucasus, the Horn of Africa or the Sahel, conflicts and crises have been multiplying on our doorstep. Not forgetting the rising tensions in the South China Sea. All of this at a time where the US commitment to European security is becoming much more uncertain.

We have continued to support Ukraine, but we have not managed to provide enough resources to stop Russia’s constant attacks on Ukrainian civilian infrastructures and its advance into Donetsk.
In the Middle East, our call and the call of the international community for a ceasefire, the release of hostages and the respect of international humanitarian law has not been heard and the conflict has spread further in the region.

In this very dangerous geopolitical context, we urgently need to boost our defence capabilities and our defence industry.

This book brings together blog posts, op-eds and speeches by HR/VP Josep Borrell Fontelles addressing the most pressing issues for EU’s foreign and security policy during the year 2024.
