A Worrying Present and an Uncertain Future.Challenges for Security in Central Eastern Europe Region: 64

This interdisciplinary volume explores contemporary risks related to war, technology, climate, and social change. With contributions from scholars in sociology, political science, and related fields, it examines how societies perceive and respond to crisis and systemic disruption. This book explores how contemporary societies respond to intensifying uncertainty, shifting power dynamics, and global transformations. In a world marked by war, technological acceleration, climate instability, and social fragmentation, the need to understand evolving threats has become increasingly urgent. The volume offers an interdisciplinary perspective on how crises – both visible and latent – are experienced, interpreted, and managed across different domains of public and private life. With a focus on the intersections of security, resilience, and social change, the book invites readers to reflect on the symbolic and material dimensions of disruption in the 21st century.
