The financial crisis, the migratory flows, the national-populist wave, the pandemic, the war and the energy crisis. Italy and Europe appear increasingly crushed by a chain of emergencies linked together by a double thread and by the most devastating one of all, the climate crisis, so dramatic that it leads us to ignore it, but which will mark our lives and above all those of our children. Once a fire is put out, we rush to contain the next fire, often adopting contradictory solutions. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought the issue of energy security back to the foreground, with the risk of setting aside the ecological transition, a key pillar of the European Green Deal. But, as Nathalie Tocci explains in her book, it is precisely by reconciling security and energy transition that the European Union is relaunching the integration process after almost twenty years of stagnation. The transition will happen and it will not be the last, it is just more complex and requires a strategic vision that takes into account the social and economic impacts. And consider the geopolitical consequences: on an internal level (the risk of growing inequalities with an impact on populism in Europe), on a regional level (in the Mediterranean, especially with neighboring countries in North Africa), and on a planetary level (with the tensions between the USA and China destined to increase).
