Shifting to a Common European Defense By Nicolai von Ondarza Let’s imagine a possible scenario playing out this year: It is March 2026. European Council President António Costa steps out into a cold Brussels night and announces to the media: “Not since the end of World War II has our continent ever been this threatened by war, and our security been at such peril.
The Trump Administration’s National Security Strategy
Targeted opportunities for transatlantic cooperation. By Dr. Daniel Kliman in Washington, DC The US National Security Strategy (NSS) crystallizes many of the essential elements of the White House's approach to the world. These are a focus on burden shifting to allies and partners globally, a proclivity for resolving conflicts to limit the risks of entrapment, a recalibration of international economic relationships to promote prosperity at home, and a distrust of multinational institutions.
Cómo Francia y Reino Unido ponen su potencia nuclear al servicio de toda Europa
Vanguardia Dossier Con la visita del presidente francés Emmanuel Macron al Reino Unido a principios de julio, ambos países reafirmaron su cooperación en materia de defensa, energía, grandes proyectos industriales y lucha contra los cruces ilegales del canal de la Mancha. En tanto que únicas potencias nucleares de Europa, Gran Bretaña y Francia también firmaron la declaración de Northwood, en la que se comprometen a una planificación nuclear más estrecha y conjunta.

France’s Government Collapses Again
Tug Of War France is caught between its short-term politics and long-term ambitions. By Martin Quencez France’s fifth prime minister since 2022 has stepped down after less than a year in office. François Bayrou resoundingly lost a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly, with nearly two-thirds of legislators present voting to bring down his government. The budget was the main cause of the downfall, deepening concerns about France’s ability to address its growing debt.
What To Watch in Fall 2025
The year 2025 has been a turbulent one for transatlantic relations thus far. US tariffs hit Europe as the consequence of a trade deal, European leaders have increasingly stepped up their commitments in an effort to shift the security burden in NATO, and changes in the United States’ relationships with India and China also directly affect Europe.
Sorbonne 2.0: more continuity than change for Macron’s European policy
Georgina Wright analyses President Macron’s recent European speech, arguing that while it will have reassured those who support Macron’s priorities for Europe, it provided few new ideas and will have done little to convince those who do not. A week has passed since French President Macron delivered his long-awaited speech on Europe at the Sorbonne university in Paris – just about enough to digest its content.
The Future of the Zeitenwende-Scenario 4: Président Marine Le Pen?
The 2027 French presidential election is still a long way off. Yet some French policy circles are already talking of the après-Macron. A strong contender for his replacement is former presidential candidate Marine Le Pen of the far-right party Rassemblement National (RN).
Demystifying Macron’s foreign policy
“It feels like 1956 all over again” Dominique de Villepin, former French Foreign Minister (2002 to 2004) The 1956 Suez crisis, one of the biggest foreign policy failures of France’s Fourth Republic, saw France and the UK collude with Israel to retake the Suez Canal after it had been nationalised by Egypt, and then retreat under American pressure.
Lueur d'espoir dans la relation franco-britannique
Aller au contenu principal Exemple : Education, Europe, Santé Alors que la visite officielle du Roi Charles III à Paris a dû être reportée, dans un contexte domestique particulièrement fragile, la directrice de notre programme Europe, Georgina Wright, replace la relation franco-britannique en perspective. Suite au 36ème sommet qui s'est tenu au mois de mars entre le président Macron et le Premier ministre Sunak, quelles évolutions de la relation bilatérale peut-on attendre ?
L'Inflation Reduction Act américain : au-delà de l’exigence climatique
Aller au contenu principal Exemple : Education, Europe, Santé Compétitivité et innovation > | Europe et International > États-Unis et amériques Analyses - 22 Mars 2023 La loi américaine de l’Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) suscite des inquiétudes en Europe. Beaucoup craignent à juste titre que la législation américaine érode la compétitivité et la pérennité de l’industrie européenne des technologies vertes.
The IRA Has A Greater Focus Than Just Tackling Climate Change
Skip to main content Ex: Europe, Middle East, Education Topics > International affairs | Regions > America > Europe | Topics > Economy > Environment Analyses - 16 March 2023 Europe is right to worry that the Biden administration’s Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) could harm Europe’s clean tech industry. But relying on the US to grant exemptions to EU companies will not solve the problem, argue Georgina Wright and Louise Chetcuti.
The Real Reasons Why Europe Is Concerned by the US Inflation Reduction Act
In their recent joint statement, French Finance Minister, Bruno Lemaire, and German Minister for Economy and Climate Action Robert Habeck called on the EU to "optimize and accelerate the notification process of Important Projects of Common European Interest" (IPCEI) like batteries, hydrogen and solar panels. On 14 December, the European Commission promised to set out a new framework to make state aid rules "simpler and faster to get access to investment aids and tax credits".
What EU Strategy for France After the Election?
Summary On April 21st, the GEG Weekly Seminar will discuss the impact of the French presidential election on the country's EU strategy. Panelists will discuss how the election is seen from abroad as well as what can be expected for the end of the French presidency of the Council of the EU and beyond with regards to France's position on EU internal geopolitics.
What Marine Le Pen’s Victory Means for Europe
It’s also unclear how she plans to achieve some of the things set out in her programme. For example, Le Pen isn’t against the EU’s trade deals, though she would like them to exclude agriculture. It’s hard to see how the EU’s trade partners would ever agree to this - though the EU could be forced to pause ongoing negotiations, for example with Australia and New Zealand.
Making The Impossible Possible: What Would It Take For Ukraine To Join The EU?
This first stage of the process can take anything between several months and several years - though in theory, the EU could decide to speed this up for Ukraine if it wanted to. Conducting and concluding accession talks Then come the negotiations themselves. These are structured in 35 "Chapters", each covering a distinct aspect of EU membership (single market, environment, social policy, etc). Several chapters being negotiated negotiated at one time.
Trans-Atlantic Scorecard - January 2022

Welcome to the fourteenth edition of the Trans-Atlantic Scorecard, a quarterly evaluation of U.S.-European relations produced by Brookings’s Center on the United States and Europe (CUSE). To produce the Scorecard, we poll Brookings scholars and other experts on the present state of U.S. relations with Europe — overall and in the political, security, and economic dimensions — as well as on the state of U.S. relations with five key countries and the European Union itself.

Macron’s Proposals On Russia Could Be Good For The West
President Macron’s address to the European Parliament was supposed to be a highlight of France’s six-month EU council presidency. Instead, his remarks have caused tensions in the transatlantic relationship. Last Wednesday, Macron argued that Europeans should "work on proposals to build a new security and stability order in Europe", first among themselves and then within NATO. Europe could then use these discussions as a basis for frank negotiations with Russia.
Resetting the Entente Cordiale
Is it time to reset the Entente Cordiale? London certainly seems to think so. According to The Times, the UK government is drawing up plans for a new strategic alliance with France that would go beyond existing defense and security ties. It would include further areas for cooperation, like nuclear testing, cooperation in the Indo-Pacific and the ability to land planes on each other’s aircraft carriers. But does France think the UK is being serious? AUKUS, the elephant in the room Timing matters.
A Golden Opportunity for Global Britain?
The Australia-UK-US pacific security pact - AUKUS - has been greeted with anger across France. France’s reaction is both due to Australia’s decision to cancel a five-year old contract with France to build diesel-power submarines and because it officially found out about AUKUS a couple of hours before it was announced. This led to France recalling its ambassadors from Canberra and Washington D.C. Interestingly, however, France did not recall its ambassador from London. Why is that?
Not granting the EU full diplomatic unity will hurt British interests
The UK is refusing to give the EU’s Delegation to the UK the same diplomatic status as it does to national embassies. This decision is short-sighted and could damage the Global Britain brand, argues Georgina Wright. Of all the diplomatic hills to die on, this should not be one of them. Last week, the BBC reported that the UK was refusing to grant the EU ambassador and his staff full diplomatic immunity.
What Can 'Global Britain' Be?
Ben Judah & Georgina Wright World Politics Review October 21, 2020 Over the past four years, as the United Kingdom has wrestled with the consequences of its narrow vote to leave the European Union, there has been little to no broader foreign policy debate in the country. Instead, Britons seem to have become caught between three temperaments.
Le drame du Brexit n’est pas encore terminé
Vous pensiez que le Brexit était derrière nous ? Vous n’êtes pas les seuls. Boris Johnson a été élu en promettant d’en terminer avec le Brexit, et à la suite de la signature de l’accord de retrait en janvier 2020, on sentait chez le Premier ministre – et dans l’opinion publique – une volonté de passer à autre chose. La pandémie a naturellement encore plus détourné l’attention sur le sujet. Cependant, les dernières semaines ont vu le Brexit revenir au cœur des préoccupations.
No, Brussels is not misreading the UK’s threats of no deal
EU Chief negotiatior Xinhua News Agency/PA Images I’ll let you in on a well-known secret: the EU is a formidable negotiator. It does not always get what it wants but it has got rather good at negotiating with third countries. Take trade deals: it has more trade agreements than any other country or group of countries—and at the last count, it had a dozen negotiations on the go.
Article 49: Rejoining the EU
Article 49 of the Treaty on European Union establishes how a country can join the EU. As the UK left the EU on the 31 January 2020, it is now considered a third country under EU law. If it wanted to rejoin the EU one day, the UK would join through the framework set out by Article 49. But Article 49 is only part of the membership process. The 1993 Copenhagen criteria also outlines some of the requirements for EU membership. Candidate states may also be subject to other specific conditions.

Food Politics and Policies in Post-Brexit Britain
10 January 2019 Brexit, for better or worse, means a major structural change in how people in the UK think about the food they eat. There is an opportunity the reformulate food policy for the better, but this could be easily squandered if not managed carefully.
In Brexit Negotiations, Both Sides Have Now Compromised
Much of the current debate around Brexit is about the withdrawal agreement, but actually the withdrawal agreement is just the first part of continuing negotiations between the UK and the EU. So, after seeing the draft agreement, released on 14 November, is the shape of the future trade relationship any clearer? The only thing that is clear is that the UK and EU can’t start talking about the future until a withdrawal agreement is in place and it has gone through the British parliament.
A longer Brexit transition makes sense
When it comes to Brexit, a key fear is that time is running out. From the moment the UK triggered Article 50, it had exactly two years to negotiate its exit from the EU. Five months to go and there is still no agreement. Meanwhile, the UK and the EU have barely begun discussing their future relationship. Both sides agreed, in principle, to a transition period to allow more time.
Hopes turn to an orderly “no deal” Brexit
Those hoping for summer respite from Brexit will be bitterly disappointed. Three months left to finalise the terms of the UK’s withdrawal and there is still no agreement in sight. There is also no guarantee that the final agreement—if one is reached—would make it through the UK parliament. The chances of extending Article 50 negotiations seem remote. Is it time to start planning for “no deal”? The European Commission certainly thinks so.
