A new report, authored by Mark Leonard and Jeremy Shapiro, calls on EU leaders to strengthen Europe’s resilience in the face of increasing geo-political competition.
A variety of states including Russia, China, and even at times the United States are instrumentalizing the connections of a globalised world for geopolitical and economic gain.
The report identifies five key areas where Europeans could develop consolidated responses – including healthcare; security; digital issues; international economic policy; and climate change.
The report, Sovereign Europe, hostile world: Five agendas to protect Europe’s capacity to act, published today by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), is authored oe Ndqq Bjadthz dgh Zxadyh Vlcdmcz.
