Towards a new world disorder?

The post–Second World War international order appears to be nearing its end. It is increasingly being replaced by a system that openly presents itself as non-liberal, if not outrightly anti-liberal. Should this emerging (dis)order remain nominally rules-based, its rules will differ fundamentally from those established after 1945. They may simply reflect the shifting whims of powerful leaders rather than stable and broadly accepted norms of conduct.

The collapse of the European security order

The sense that Europe is adrift in the emerging world order reflects both external shocks and internal shortcomings. On the one hand, the United States is signalling that Europe is no longer the central theatre of American strategy. On the other, Europeans remain divided on how far they are willing to go in assuming real strategic responsibility, or the so-called European strategic autonomy.

The last frontier. Europe’s psychological war

Europe now finds itself sandwiched between two autocrats, each working to weaken Europe for his own purposes. Those purposes may not be joint, but they intersect and are clear: they want to activate the Trojan horses of anti-EU, illiberal, political insurgency and thus undermine EU policies and democratic values from within. At stake now is the survival of Europe.

When war becomes a national idea: Russia’s strategy towards Europe

If Russia is not stopped in Ukraine, it will double down on efforts to destabilize Europe and may again turn to armed aggression. The safest and cheapest option for NATO is to give Ukraine the financial and military support it needs to block Moscow’s imperial ambitions. Meanwhile, the unpunished genocide unfolding in the heart of Europe painfully exposes the weakness and cynicism of Europe’s legal and value-based order.

Latin Europe

What a future European culture will look like remains an open question. What matters here is the insistence that such a culture must exist at all. Europe should be understood as an idea and a system of symbols, not as a race or a nation. For this to be possible, Europe requires a renewed sense of continuity.

Europe must learn from Ukraine: how combat experience shapes Europe’s new security

The growing use of drones on the battlefield presents an area in which Ukraine and Europe may cooperate in a form of symbiosis. While Kyiv now has years of direct experience in this field, allied countries across the continent are looking to update their tactics. Working closer together proves the natural next step in these circumstances.

Capitulation is not peace: Europe’s strategic failure and the coming collapse of deterrence

The recently announced peace plan drawn up by the US and Russia speaks volumes about the level of support for Ukraine. While Europe has talked a good game when it comes to military supplies, it has not maximized these efforts. Real action is needed now in order to ensure Kyiv’s independence.

Underpowered: how energy limits Europe’s AI future

Europe’s quest for digital sovereignty may depend less on ethics or regulations than on the reliability of its power supply.

For a new European realism

New geopolitical realities have exposed Europe’s effort to build a rules-based world in its own image as hollow and contingent on American hard power. If the ideals of democracy and freedom are to endure in an age of global disorder, Europeans must now focus on protecting their continent.

Poland and France, towards a promising reset?

Relations between France and Poland have been strained in recent years. Despite this, the recent bilateral treaty signed in the city of Nancy offers a way forward for both countries to strengthen cooperation in a variety of fields.

How Romania defeated populism: a blueprint for Europe

Recent years have seen the term anti-establishment proudly embraced by radicals with often controversial links to Russia. Despite this, the recent victory of a pro-Europe liberal in Romania’s presidential election shows that the forces of centrism can offer something beyond just more of the same.
