Stay vigilant! The new European war rhetoric
About this ebook
How Enemy Images Emerge, Who Benefits from Them – and How We Can Maintain the Path to Peace
In a time of geopolitical tensions and ongoing media crises, a dangerous language dominates our political landscape: war rhetoric. But how do these narratives emerge? Who constructs enemy images – and for what interest? "Stay Vigilant!" takes you on a well-founded, unsparing analysis of current political communication in Europe and reveals the economic and strategic forces behind the EU's aggressive course.
- Who are the real beneficiaries of war rhetoric?
- What role do the media, business, and transatlantic networks play?
- How do fear and propaganda influence our perceptions?
- Why are some people more susceptible to these narratives than others?
- What alternatives are there for a more peaceful, diplomatic future?
This book combines political science analysis with gripping storytelling and not only reveals the mechanisms behind the current escalatory rhetoric, but also offers solutions: How can Europe return to a policy of dialogue, diplomacy, and cooperation? And what role can we as citizens play in this?
For all those who want to understand the world behind the headlines and not be guided by simple enemy images.
Read now and join the conversation – because peace begins with knowledge!
