This paper analyzes the historical background of the current developments in Central Eastern Europe, in other parts of Eastern Europe and in previously member countries of the former Soviet Union. The author concludes that the political and economic transformation of these countries to a solid democracy and well-functioning market economy have not been successful for most of them yet, and this may have serious consequences on the European Union, too.The paper contrasts these trends with what we can observe in the United States now. The author turns to the "hard facts" next, when he discusses the different factors of human and economic development and the issue of migration in the Central and East European post-socialist countries and in a selected group of advanced countries.

Gegenwärtige sicherheitspolitische Herausforderungen wie z.B. die Krise in der Ukraine, die Bedrohung durch ISIS, Terroranschläge auf europäischem Boden, oder Migrationsströme ausgelöst durch politische, wirtschaftliche und soziale Umbrüche geben Anlass zur Frage, ob die Europäische Union über eine effektive Strategie zur Bewältigung dieser Sicherheitsprobleme verfügt. Die Europäische Sicherheitsstrategie (ESS) ist das Grundlagendokument, auf welchem die Sicherheitspolitik und die Sicherheitsstrategie der EU basieren. Viele argumentieren jedoch, dass diese Strategie nicht mehr zeitgemäß ist und durch eine neue Globale Strategie ersetzt werden sollte. Wenngleich hier die Meinung geteilt wird, dass es einer globalen Strategie bedarf, so wird gleichzeitig die Position vertreten, dass die ESS viele Elemente beinhaltet, die heute genauso relevant sind wie zum Zeitpunkt ihrer Verabschiedung im Jahre 2003. Statt die ESS zur Gänze zu verwerfen, lautet dementsprechend die hier vertretene These, sollte sie aktualisiert, gestärkt und mit anderen Elementen besser integriert werden, um sie zu einer wahrhaft globalen und effektiven Strategie zu machen.
