How Can the EU Become a Geopolitical Actor in Its Eastern Neighbourhood?
English 90
Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine is having huge geopolitical implications for the EU's eastern neighbourhood, forcing the EU to take on greater responsibilities, including as a security provider. What could a new Eastern Partnership policy look like that takes account of the changed geopolitical circumstances and what should be the EU’s policy vis-à-vis the neighbours of its neighbours, particularly Central Asia?
 
Session objective: Imagining new possibilities – Get inspired and foster new ideas by imagining bold solutions to complex challenges and imagine disruptively new ways of thinking.
