L’Europe et Poutine, pourquoi une telle fascination ? Conversation avec S. Tesson et M. Bock-Côté

Une conversation entre Sylvain Tesson, Ecrivain, et Mathieu Bock-Côté, Sociologue, essayiste, Modérée par Vincent Trémolet de Villers, Directeur délégué des rédactions, Le Figaro 2023 Conversations « Tomorrow’s Europe: Rearming Democracy » After exploring in recent years, the crisis of Western democracy in the 21st century, the future of nations, the crisis of American democracy, and the Russian question in the age of Putin’s war, our 2023 edition will focus on the major upheavals that Europe is facing today. The war in Ukraine has already changed Europe. The return of Russian imperialism, the fragility of our democracies, the stunning emergence of Ukraine as a major force and the shift of Europe’s center of gravity to the East, all strongly underline the need for the Union to re-evaluate its common security architecture, its relationship with the United States, its vision of its eastern border, and to finally settle the question of Soviet totalitarianism that remained unresolved after 1991. In essence, we need to rethink Europe as well as the internal social contracts of our democracies.
