A Resilient and Sovereign Europe: How to Thrive in a Fragmented World
English 90
The ongoing shift towards a more fragmented world order, driven by the pandemic and Russia's war against Ukraine, calls for urgent action. Europe needs to reduce its dependencies and strengthen its strategic sovereignty, while remaining open to the world. How can Europe respond to these challenges and regain its competitiveness? How can Europe become bolder in shaping the global order?
