About
Europe and the World
Europe and the World explores the international role of the European Union across six thematic areas. These vital themes reflect rising tensions around the globe, a pressing need for renewed cooperation with state and non-state actors, and the demand for a comparative perspective in order to obtain a better understanding and learn to cope with diversity:
- Peace and security;
- Promotion of universal values and human rights;
- Poverty alleviation and sustainable development;
- Global trade and financial interdependence;
- Global digital connectivity, market regulation, and cooperation on technological developments affecting world affairs;
- Global pandemics and health cooperation, especially with a view to tackling rising inequalities.
