📝New FIIA Briefing Paper The rise of imperialist politics is forcing the EU to defend liberal democracy and economic stability, and to rely increasingly on likeminded partners in the absence of the US. Read the publication⤵️ fiia.fi/en/publicati...

Quote "Defending the rules-based order will require the EU to act as a geopolitical forc - not in the imperial sense of an old, but as a stabilizing power that proves democracy and cooperation are the best way forward" from the Briefing Paper written by Niklas Helwig, Juha Jokela et al. On the right side there is a picture where there are people walking with EU flags.
