Stay Vigilant! - The New War Rhetoric in Europe How Enemy Images Emerge, Who Benefits from Them - and How We Can Maintain the Path to Peace In a time of geopolitical tensions and ongoing media crises, a dangerous language dominates our political landscape: war rhetoric.

And what role can we as citizens play in this? For all those who want to understand the world behind the headlines and not be guided by simple enemy images.
