Event Highlights: How Europe Can Thrive in World Politics?
In this lecture by Marina Henke, Professor of International Relations at the Hertie School (Berlin, Germany) and director of the Hertie Centre for International Security, describes the geostrategic confusion in Europe in response to the shock of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. She summarizes three of the “grand strategic positions” for Europe—transatlantic renewal, EU strategic autonomy, or neutrality—and highlights some of the pros and cons of each option. In conclusion she states where she believes Europe is heading and the implications for the transatlantic relationship.
Prof. Henke’s lecture took place on Tuesday, November 15, as part of the Center for the Study of Europe’s “Europe in the World Series,” an initiative of the Jean Monnet Chair in European Security and Defense, Kaija Schilde.
