Guest blog post by Pedro M. Lopez Those who have been to Latin America probably remember keywords such as the “tropics,” “music,” “steaks,” and “exotic fruit.” Terms such as “free trade,” “trade deficit” or “ trade agreement” are less likely to be associated with Latin America.

The lack of a well-defined European identity has framed the diversity of European citizens as a challenge to be overcome rather than an opportunity that must be seized.

It has also… » read more

Last year, just as I was shaping a vision of how a “Manufacturing Renaissance” could allow creating 100 million jobs for less skilled westerners, I took a course on AI (Artificial Intelligence) which suggests that 100 to 200 million more low technology jobs in service such as banking and trading were going to disappear soon… » read more

Genval, 2nd April 2017 – The latest plans of illiberal Hungary aiming to close the Central European University (CEU) can be explained in the context of 2018 general elections. As there is no potent opposition, the government desperately needs permanent war rhetoric & a popular public ennemy. Attacking science and research can however backfire. (source… » read more

Genval, 29th March 2017 – The Second European Parliament Roma Week put the spotlight again on the issue of Roma integration in Europe and its future post-2020.

In June 2016, the European project suffered a considerable blow. Britain decided to leave the European Union, and the dream of an ‘ever closer union’ between the peoples of our continent is now widely challenged and contested. With the rise of populist movements in a number of different countries, the very existence of the EU… » read more

Un blog de notre invitée Véronique Likforman, Secrétaire Générale, DLF Bruxelles-Europe. L’Europe pourrait couler, les Européens ne l’écoutent plus ; et presque personne ne se demande s’il ne faudrait pas leur parler une langue qu’ils comprennent : la leur. L’Europe, vingt-quatre langues officielles. Plutôt que s’exprimer chacun dans la sienne pour être parfaitement compris des… » read more

Democracy and Public Space Debate about the European public sphere, the open space where news is disseminated and debated in the EU, can sometimes seem quite esoteric. Why then have academics and European politicians been so concerned about it? Because the concept is closely linked to some of the most burning questions about the EU,… » read more

“In our dialogue with the European Commission, we have assumed that our cooperation will be based on such principles as objectivism, or respect for sovereignty, subsidiarity, and national identity. However, we have gradually come to realise that interferences into Poland’s internal affairs are not characterised by adherence to such principles. On top of that, such… » read more

Guy Verhofstadt, unsurprisingly, claims that the solution to Europe’s nationalism problem is further European federalism. While this statement is partially true, it is misleading and, therefore, I must disagree. A federal Europe would have the tools to combat nationalism (and it’s leftist counterpart) as well as having the virtue of being more resistant to propaganda… » read more
