[Submission Statement]
In 2025, much of Sławomir Sierakowski’s predictions with regards to the EU’s relative position in global geopolitics appears to have held. The relative position of the EU compared to it’s height in the mid-2000s has degraded significantly. The EU is now faced with a situation where it must decide between the US or China, and largely on their terms.
It will be interesting to discuss this lens given bipartisan shifts within the US under both the Biden and Trump admin to leverage industrial policy and trade barriers to reindustrialize, as well as China’s rise as a head-on-head economic competitor with much of Europe.
How should the EU build it’s comparative position in order to reduce the risk of irrelevance? 20 years ago, it looked like the EU was rising. 20 years in the future, the EU might do so again. But the question is what steps should be taken?
