Michael Leigh, EU Enlargement: Exporting Stability or Importing Instability? @stevenblockmans.bsky.social, Gradual EU integration: limits to an à la carte approach @dschwarzer.bsky.social, Enlargement will only succeed if the EU embraces more flexibility 2/4

Foreign policy begins at home - and I would add: also boomerangs back home! Europe has not even begun to grapple with the consequences of an increasingly personalist-authoritarian US government for the fate of its democracies at home. #policyincoherence #democracy @dschwarzer.bsky.social

Right now at Les Rencontres Économiques d’Aix-en-Provence, one of Europe’s key economic forums 💥 #Frauenpower 👉 How do we restore faith in facts & institutions — and shape a more peaceful society? 💬 Listen to the debate with @dschwarzer.bsky.social www.lesrencontreseconomiques.fr/en/#watch=am...

Außen- & Sicherheitspolitik in einer Welt der Unordnung: Es geht darum, von einer reaktiven Krisenverwaltung zu einer strategischen Zukunftsgestaltung zu kommen, schreiben Stefan Mair, @dschwarzer.bsky.social & Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff @tagesspiegel.de (paywall): www.tagesspiegel.de/politik/sich...

Today they have crossed a deep red line. We, the people, must hold the president and his appointees accountable for this outrageous abuse against American liberty.

🇬🇪🇪🇺 Happy #Europe Day! The people of Georgia are fighting every day to stay on the path to Europe - with courage, unity, and determination. #EuropeDay2025 #GeorgiaProtests

Very, very sad that Joe Nye passed away. I was lucky to exchange with him only four weeks ago. A very rich conversation on US power as always - and not without humour despite his dire analysis. He will be dearly missed. A great scholar and a wonderful person. RIP Joe.

Given the growing and strategic importance of space, Europeans should invite the best talents over to Europe now - from NASA and the US scientific community working on space www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Good outcome at the #EuCo on EU fiscal rules: National escape clause is branded as „immediate measure“ but the Commission is asked to explore further options (read: opening the rules). The insight seems to have kicked in that a prolonged use of the escape clause is probably not a good idea.

There can no longer be any doubt that Europe’s leaders need to bolster the continent’s defense capacity – and fast. In a new PS Big Picture, @plegrain.bsky.social , @dschwarzer.bsky.social, and others explain what this demands. (bit.ly/3DbsFPd)

This statement is essential for any European assumptions about US democracy, transatlantic relations, Europe, Ukraine.

Now is the time to reset relations between the EU and UK. Why a reliable alliance can be so valuable… Read the article by @dschwarzer.bsky.social 👇

After Keir Starmer‘s stint to the informal EU summit earlier this week, here are three ideas how to rebuild the UK-EU relationship at a time of geopolitical unrest.

Very timely launch of a new ECFR podcast! Thanks for having me for a discussion of what Germany needs to prepare for with Donald Trump back in office.

Alles #Trump heute? Aber erst ab 18 Uhr. Vorher geht es ab 13.30 Uhr um #China. Unter anderem mit @dschwarzer.bsky.social, Vorständin der Bertelsmann Stiftung, und Bundesaußenministerin Annalena Baerbock. www.youtube.com/live/XlRfipU...

Schön, das hier auf dem Weg nach Brüssel zu treffen! Ich darf den Band eröffnen mit einem Text zu den innen- und außenpolitischen Krisen, die Deutschland erschüttern - und wie wir seit 2022 schon einiges gemeistert haben.

A happy and healthy new year everyone! Current mood below. Getting ready for a year 2025 that will require our best innovative thinking and action to make Europe stronger and democracy resilient.

Meine Leseempfehlung fürs Wochenende: @lucasguttenberg und @nilsredeker sortieren eine Frage, die für die nächste Bundesregierung höchste Relevanz haben wird: Wie lässt sich die deutsche Schuldenbremse im Einklang mit EU-Recht reformieren?

Mit Alexander Thiele @Verfassungsblog darf ich im DLF Kultur zwei Stunden lang mit Bürger:innen diskutieren über den Zustand unserer Demokratie und was die nächste Bundesregierung anders machen soll. Tolle Beiträge der Anrufenden!

Capital hat mich gefragt, was Trumps Wirtschaftspolitik für D & EU bedeutet. Meine Antwort: Es wird teuer. Einfuhrzölle, Subventionen & Steuersenkungen für die US-Wirtschaft, Produktionsverlagerungen in die USA... Je mehr wir in Europa zusammenarbeiten, desto besser. www.capital.de/wirtschaft-p...

I like the term "emergency podcast". Seems to be the new normal. Just left #Studio9 at #DLF - we were planning to talk #US elections, #COP etc., but we spent half of the time sorting out what is happening in #Germany these days.

Heute bei Deutschlandfunk Kultur - wie immer ein sportliches und abwechslungsreiches Gespräch im #Studio9 Danke Korbinian Frenzel ! www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/der-tag-mit-...
