Quite a feat for Volkswagen‘s COO to tell the story of German big auto‘s failure by focusing on structural inefficiencies alone. And leave out the many own goals the company has scored during its last golden decade — based on the arrogance and short-sightedness of VW management.

No putting lipstick on a pig: a coerced deal between no longer benign hegemon & a vasall that failed to invest in its own security & is now paying the price for it. All other tariffs staying equal (a big if), it looks survivable for EU industry. China shock remains the key threat.

🧬NEW POLICY BRIEF: GPPi's Florian Klumpp, Aaranya Alexander & @jhensing.bsky.social examine the implications of rapid advancements in biotechnology — especially synthetic biology — for Germany’s & Europe’s foreign & security policy & offer recommendations for policymakers: gppi.net/2025/07/18/b...

🎥 #MeetTheResearchers: ENSURED’s Amanda Pridmore! Amanda leads our work on strategic communication. What excites her most about ENSURED? The chance to rethink how Europe communicates its values — and ways that good storytelling can help build trust in multilateral cooperation. @gppi.bsky.social

On its 50th anniversary, ECOWAS faces one of its most pivotal crossroads yet. Will the organization rise to its challenges and redefine itself for the future? In our latest written roundtable, two experts offer their perspectives on where ECOWAS goes from here: gppi.net/2025/07/11/a...

Peace & security aid is shrinking fast — just as global violence surges. GPPi's new study warns: without smart investment in peacebuilding and localization, Europe and its allies face rising risks. Defense alone won’t be enough. @rotmann.net 🔗 gppi.net/2025/07/09/p...

References to quantum technology's security relevance are common, incl. in the EU’s new "Quantum Europe Strategy." What security issues does this technology raise? How will quantum sensing, communication & computing be used in the future? Find out: gppi.net/2025/07/07/q... @jhensing.bsky.social

🌟 REUNIR foresight workshop led by @gppi.bsky.social in Tbilisi. We revisited projections, developed new scenario frameworks, and explored “images” and “histories” of the future in truly engaging discussions @horizoneu.bsky.social @tepsa.bsky.social @geopower-eu.bsky.social @re-engage.bsky.social

Sudan’s civil war continues at a staggering human cost, but mediation efforts remain fragmented. In our latest “Ask the Experts” written roundtable, two experts @gerritkurtz.bsky.social (@swp-berlin.org) & Kinetibeb Kassa (Crisis Action) rethink these efforts: gppi.net/2025/06/27/a...

NEU: Spätestens jetzt ist es Zeit für eigene Zukünfte und Zukunftsanalyse. Zum Glück haben wir das in den letzten Jahren schon so fleißig geübt. internationalepolitik.de/en/wider-die...

Mein neuer Beitrag in der @internationalepolitik.de, Sonderheft Politikberatung zum Jubiläum der @dgap.org 🎂 🎈

Was sind die Hindernisse auf dem Weg zu einer realistischeren Chinapolitik? Ein paar Gedanken dazu für @internationalepolitik.de-Beilage zum Thema Politikberatung. Und so sehr Camus Motivation spenden kann: der Stein rollt gerade wieder massiv den Berg hinunter. Und wir sollten mehr dagegen tun.

Instead of wrestling with each other who should be the lead mediator in #Sudan, international actors should show more leadership individually and collectively, I argue @gppi.bsky.social. gppi.net/2025/06/27/a...

Amid calls to reform the humanitarian system, we shouldn't forget the decades of evidence showing what works — and what doesn’t. "What’s needed now is not fancy titles for timid reforms, but the courage to... implement the concrete changes we know would make a difference." gppi.net/2025/06/25/a...

“Robustness:” how well an institution “withstands external & internal contestations,” while upholding & advancing core functions. ENSURED research identifies factors undermining it, incl. 🗺️geopoliticisation, ⛓️‍💥institutional fragmentation, &💸underfunding. More at: www.ensuredeurope.eu/publications

A month after blasting the disastrous neocon record in Ryadh Trump finds himself trapped in Netanyahu's regime change operation. Netanyahu’s Iran Campaign Is Also Trump’s War — And China and Russia Are Benefiting For Now. gppi.net/2025/06/16/n...

Netanyahu hat Trump einen Monat nach dessen Anti-Neocon-Rede in Riad jetzt dort, wo er nie sein wollte: mitten in einem Regime Change-Projekt. Und anders als die CRINK-Analysten behaupten: für Moskau & Peking überwiegen fürs Erste die Vorteile. Mein Stück für Handelsblatt.

Chancellor Merz & Foreign Minister Wadephul are right to recalibrate German Israel policy saying No to blanc cheque for the Netanyahu government. Germany needs to bid farewell to the „Staatsräson“ formula in favor of a nuanced debate. My @agendapublica.es piece agendapublica.es/noticia/1992...

🎥 New #REUNIR video: Sarah Bressan (GPPi) on using foresight to detect foreign threats to EU accession. Looking to 2035, she explains why strategic thinking & scenario building are key to resilience. Watch now! @horizoneu.bsky.social @gppi.bsky.social @bressansar.bsky.social

This is just the beginning of Germany's China Shock that will decimate German core industries from automotive to machine tools. It's absolutely absurd the German debate doesn't label it as such -- and that we don't have a serious debate about countermeasures. www.bild.de/politik/inla...

Merz‘ adjustment of 🇩🇪 Netanyahu policy shows he’s willing to learn. It comes late, you could say very late. But it‘s not the result of overwhelming public or political pressure but seems to be based on serious reconsideration of the facts on the ground. My take for FT @chassnews.bsky.social.

Der erste post-transatlantische Kanzler trifft Donald Trump. Meine Handelsblatt-Kolumne zum Besuch von Friedrich Merz im Weißen Haus.

Strategic foresight is a serious, nuanced and crucial discipline — and should be leveraged to improve German security policy. GPPi's @bressansar.bsky.social puts six foresight hypotheses to the test. Curious? Read the full piece: gppi.net/2025/05/21/f...

What do you call a room of think tankers with snacks & big questions? A retreat (& good time). In this troubling political moment, GPPi's 2025 retreat was an opportunity to step back, reflect & reconnect. We grappled with difficult questions but also made time for pizza, a picnic & a pub quiz!

🧐What would European “digital sovereignty” look like? GPPi welcomed Dr. Francesca Bria (Stiftung Mercator), founder of the EuroStack initiative, to discuss. EuroStack's goal? Build strategic autonomy, reduce foreign reliance & make Europe less vulnerable to cyberattacks and economic coercion.

📢 In times of Trump 2.0, should Europe still pursue cooperation with the US on economic security & critical tech? In last week’s event, @jhensing.bsky.social, @jankaoertel.bsky.social (ECFR) & Geoffrey Gertz (CNAS) explored the possible futures of transatlantic relations in economic & tech policy.👇
