Summary:

In this book, Dimitar Bechev traces the consolidation and, starting from the late 2000s, the subsequent crisis of the European regional order anchored in the EU. He argues that authoritarian powers such as Russia, China, and Turkey are posing a direct challenge to the latter as they seek to remake Europe in their image and explains their differing objectives. Bechev folds all of the trends in Russia, China, and Turkey into an expansive account of the current regional order's transition toward a point where the external challenges to EU and NATO are now far more threatening than before.
