Strategic challenges

  • Pro-European “awakening”. Is there an alternative to anti-European populism?
  • New political movements in Europe. Choices by Europeans; their vulnerability to populism
  • Single- or two-speed EU? A community of values or an “association to protect the common market”?
  • Attractiveness of the EU’s development model (democracy, security, joint management, weakening of the power of supranational companies)
  • Dilemmas of expansion and closing. What Eastern policy should the EU pursue?
  • Impact of migration on the future of the Community
