Ondřej Ditrych's op-ed in Seznam Zprávy

"To avoid being tossed around by history, we need a modernised, adaptable, and effective foreign-policy apparatus."

In an op-ed for Seznam Zprávy, Ondřej Ditrych analyses how the international system is becoming more fragmented and post-hegemonic, with weaker US dominance, more flexible coalitions, greater geopolitical competition, and growing pressure on Europe to take responsibility for its own security. 

For the Czech Republic, he argues that genuine realism means not passively accepting great-power politics, but actively pursuing national interests through a stronger EU, capable diplomacy, international institutions, and pragmatic coalitions with other states. (in Czech)
