Abstract
The Editorial Team welcomes you to Issue Two of New Perspectives 2023. 21st century turbulence has had particularly sharp impacts for democratic states in Europe. A loss of faith in the guaranteed future of a liberal democratic world order and in the resilience of democratic political systems has become widespread. The War in Ukraine has established a sense that as the world of unipolarity moves towards more complex multi-polarity, a new disorder is rising. In the face of reactionary challenges to national boundaries in Europe, pessimism has been one response (see Stevens and Michelsen, 2019). For others, the War in Ukraine offers the potential for a new idealism to take shape, pushing towards a reinvigorated or more muscular democratic vision of world order (Tallis, 2023)
