Meeting with General Dominique Trinquand
The Centre de Recherches Europes-Eurasie-CREE (Inalco), with the support of the Ukrainian Institute, is honored to invite you to meet General Dominique Trinquand around his book Ce qui nous attend, Éditions Robert Laffont.
Book presentation
An international relations specialist's groundbreaking analysis of the changing geopolitical balance of power.
On February 24, 2022, when Vladimir Putin launched a military operation to invade Ukraine, he was not only violating a country's territorial integrity: at the same time, the Russian president was upsetting the precarious geostrategic balance that had reigned since 1945. Beyond this conflict, which apparently involves only two parties, a world is collapsing. At the same time, another is emerging. Yesterday's giants are entering a phase of transformation, while the war in Ukraine is demonstrating how essential the resilience of societies is to their protection.
Drawing on his experience, General Trinquand offers in this book a precise political and military analysis of this world to come, in which the perils to be overcome and the challenges to be met will be numerous. An essential insight for a full understanding of geostrategic movements and new balances of power.
