Europe is at the center of global power shifts – geopolitically, geoeconomically, and in terms of security policy. In our topic area “European Union,” our experts examine the strategic challenges that the EU faces and its capacity to act. They focus on the realignment of trade and foreign policy and, given Russia’s war against Ukraine, on issues related to security policy. Other key areas of research include EU integration, Franco-German cooperation, and transatlantic relations. The aim is to provide concrete recommendations for Europe to increase its capacity to act and its resilience.
Research in this topic area is carried out by various teams at DGAP. You can find more information about our research centers here: https://dgap.org/en/research-institute
