Rethinking Europe and its Geopolitics in the Contemporary Era

The EU’s position within the global order has significantly changed over the recent past. While its most important ally, the United States, undergoes problems of its own, its two most important political antagonists, China and Russia, present a comeback on the global stage, willing to mediate in their most immediate geopolitical spaces. Noting the importance of China’s economic might and Russia’s military challenge, the panel explores the EU’s response to these emerging challenges and rethinks the global position of the wider European continent in the 21st century.
