In the 21st century, Europe is faced with many questions: how to keep countries in the European Union, why is Europe no longer a leader in many sectors of the economy, what is the optimal solution to the refugee problem for the development of the European community? Will China really lead the economic race, which is the potential of African countries, why Islamists have become more active in recent years? Jonathan Golslach, a professor of international politics at the Free University of Brussels, answers these and many other questions in a reasonable and detailed way. The author does not forget about Ukraine: its strength and future role in the European space.
