Hike | Europe´s Diplomatic Counter-Revolution: Alliances and Deal Craft

180

In a world where power politics and “might makes right” are gaining ground, reliability is hard currency. Europe’s comparative advantage lies in credible, rules-based influence and the ability to convene coalitions with like-minded partners. This Hike explores how Europe can shape change in the international system through partnerships forged by shared interests and diplomatic dealcraft. It highlights how reinforcing trust and stability can translate into sustained European soft power. //INFO: Wear sturdy shoes and bring drinking water.//INFO: In case of heavy rain, the session is going to take place at the Firestation Event Hall
