In “Gears – The Ukrainian War and the Shift of the World » (Odile Jacob), Pierre Lellouche dissects the geopolitical dynamics which transformed a localized conflict into a global confrontation by proxy. Between military escalations, worrying strategic alliances and a weakened West, how can we stop this mechanism to avoid a global conflagration?
In his latest work Gears – The Ukrainian War and the Shift of the World (Odile Jacob), Pierre Lellouche acutely analyzes the geopolitical and strategic dynamics triggered by the Ukrainian conflict. The former MP, minister and international relations specialist explores the mechanisms that transformed a localized war into a proxy confrontation between great powers, while warning against a possible global escalation.
It also addresses the question of responsibilities, strategies to slow down this mechanism and possible solutions to ensure lasting peace in a world in full restructuring.
Marianne : In your work, the notion of “gear” seems central. Can you explain what you mean by this term? In your opinion, what would be the realistic means of slowing down this mechanism before it leads to a global conflagration?
