ReArm Europe
Phase II
Who are the decision-makers?
What emerges from this spectrum of perspectives is, in my view, some defining questions: who decides on European rearmament and what are the motives guiding these decisions?

Rearmament as a Symptom
The issue of rearmament is a complex one, without any single or clear-cut answer—as the previous essays have already shown.

PARA BELLUM?
I don't love war.
Not anymore, at least, even though my generation grew up playing with toy soldiers and watching American war movies.
Von Clausewitz once said — with perhaps an involuntary cynicism — that war is simply the continuation of politics by other means.
