The Three Seas Initiative: An empty promise?
60
Deemed as a bridge-builder for the region, the Three Seas Initiative has also been dubbed as potential disruptor. Its initial design was about connectivity, the final step of the EU integration of that region. However, under the Trump presidency it was increasingly projected as an instrument challenging Franco-German perspective in the EU. With US elections coming, would it move beyond an abstract regional concept?

Better Safe Than Sorry: Time to Get Serious about European Strategic Sovereignty

Former US President Trump’s statements about NATO shocked European allies and raised doubts about the continued reliability of the US as Europe’s security guarantor. Will Europe be able to defend and promote its way of life without the US? What does it take to achieve more sovereignty in terms of security and defence? //INFO: The session will begin with the short film Power (Dana Sink, US 2017, 2:23 min), offering an artistic perspective on the topic of discussion. //INFO: This session will be translated by Wordly.
