Until further notice, a transatlantic divorce is inevitable

Europe has the strength to counter a weakened Russia - if it can unite and act decisively. The greater obstacle is America’s self-perceived decline, as it undermines alliances and ignores authoritarian threats, eroding its global leadership role.After a bevy of high-level consultations in Washington, from the windowless corridors of the Pentagon to the downtown thinktanks, I see a Europe that remains dangerously somnambulant in nature. We are operating on 20th-century software in a 21st-century hardware reality.

The European Union’s Black Sea strategy

Brussels recently introduced a new strategic concept for its activities in the Black Sea region. While ambitious in its goals, it will require a great amount of political will in order to make them a reality.

The reassurance force for Ukraine needs a strategically mature Europe

Momentum is growing regarding long-term aid for Ukraine even if fighting ends on the front line. Such moves will require decisive actions from Europe, which now has the potential to truly become a strategic power.

The Kosovo-Serbia dispute amid global turmoil: a defining test for the EU

Ongoing disagreement between Kosovo and Serbia remains a key geopolitical issue for the EU. Much like in Ukraine, the ability of Brussels to produce tangible results will decide whether or not it can operate effectively in its neighbourhood well into the future.

Europe at a crossroads: strategic security dependency in the age of uncertainty

The sense of unease caused by US President Donald Trump’s changing policy on Ukraine must result in action across Europe. While NATO member states can still rely on some established frameworks, a new outlook is needed in order to deal with issues concerning an overdependency on Washington.

The end of post-socialism and the opportunity for a European public service media house

The Trump administration’s recent move to remove funding from Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty has caused worry across the continent. However, this situation presents also an opportunity to build a new pan-European service fit for the future.

Polish perspective on EU-South America trade deal

The Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and the South American bloc MERCOSUR is a prologue to the creation of one of the world's largest markets. However, behind the large-scale economic prospects lie the fierce disputes characteristic of the EU, especially acute in Poland – a country that is traditionally one of the largest agricultural producers in the EU.

It is time for the EU to initiate a Trans-Caspian Partnership

EU leaders’ decision to start accession negotiations with Moldova and Ukraine has put the final nail in the coffin of the Eastern Partnership which was never designed to handle enlargement. The time is therefore ripe for a geopolitically more assertive EU to geographically reimagine and thematically widen its Eastern policy. Substituting the obsolete Eastern Partnership for a new Trans-Caspian Partnership could be the solution. In the South Caucasus and Central Asia, the desire to forge closer ties with the EU has increased following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

Germany, France, Poland and the future of the European Union

Numerous tensions, deepened by Russia’s war with Ukraine, high inflation and the energy crisis, generate our anxiety about the future of the European project. Especially as the proposals that are put forward may actually lead to a greater fragmentation and further “unsealing” of the European Union. This, in turn, can only impede its further development.

Escaping Russian war: Central Asia pursues its own agenda

Russia’s ongoing war in Ukraine has encouraged Central Asian states to strengthen their multi-vector orientation of foreign policies. Looking to take advantage of this new reality, the EU and European states have now increased their engagement within the region and beyond. Despite the efforts, it is clear that the new environment will not be recalibrated and stabilised overnight.
