Europe's 30 overseas territories—stretching from Greenland in the Arctic to Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean—have become critical assets in great power competition.

Marc Pierini mapped all of them, making a compelling case for why Europe can no longer afford to overlook these territories.

They're not relics of colonial history; they're strategic footholds that shape Europe's global influence, resource access, and defense posture.

European states control several Overseas Countries and Territories around the world that carry strategic, economic, and environmental weight. As great powers challenge the rules-based order, defending them is a geopolitical imperative for Europe.

📰 | Why MAGA's Far-Right European Ties Will Endure

In supporting Europe's far-right, MAGA and Russia both want the same thing: a weaker EU.

Europe must defend itself without abandoning the openness these forces exploit, writes Armida van Rij.

Today, the global balance of power is off-kilter, rules and norms are in disarray, and the big upheavals are only just starting.

So, if there is any chance of putting an end to the war in Ukraine, it is unlikely to be through a wide-ranging arrangement with Moscow, says Kadri Liik.

While Russia is not ready to sue for peace on Europe’s terms, it could still either seek a ceasefire in Ukraine or try escalation. Brussels needs to prepare for both and prioritize that preparation over normative discussions.

The EU has built partnerships centered around climate and clean energy.

However, their ethos is simultaneously broad in scope and tailored to capacity building rather than shaping markets.

Going forward, Europe will need to embrace a more utilitarian and business-oriented external posture, argue Milo McBride and Pauline Gerard.

Europe’s industrial supply chains leave it vulnerable to global shocks. The EU needs a pragmatic green industrial strategy that balances durable partnerships and bolsters homegrown clean tech without sacrificing low-carbon ambition.

Excessive caution on the this side of the Atlantic contrasts with the attitude on the other.

Donald Trump’s National Security Strategy is full of vitriol toward Europe.

But in the EU’s equivalent document, the U.S. president will be “he who must not be named,” says Stefan Lehne.

There is an elephant in the room when it comes to the EU’s upcoming security strategy: Donald Trump. Unless European leaders acknowledge the depth of the transatlantic crisis, true autonomy will remain out of reach.

🛡️ The European security strategy will be judged by spending levels and geopolitical posturing.

🧑‍🔧 But its true measure is whether it can connect new defense tech to a credible answer on power: building infrastructure, reducing dependencies, and ensuring accountability.

👉 Anything less is readiness in name only, argues Raluca Csernatoni.

Defense tech innovations will be at the heart of Europe’s new security strategy. But so far, Brussels is making moves without a broader plan, undermining readiness and credibility.

🌍 The world's largest economies are locked in a strategic competition that has turned supply chains from economic mechanisms into deliberate instruments of statecraft.

Europe now depends on the U.S. for energy and on China for technology. Yet, the EU's most dangerous vulnerabilities lie not in today's high-risk goods, but in tomorrow's emerging-risk products.

According to Sinan Ulgen, Brussels must weather present shocks while building the foresight to prevent long-term structural lock-in.

🤝 This includes revitalizing trade arrangements with key partners.

🧭 Despite broad agreement among governments that the European order needs systemic change, little is actually moving in that direction.

📉 The EU's model of integration hasn't stemmed the erosion of its competitiveness and economic security. From the green transition to political renewal, progress on urgent files remains stalled.

❓ So what would the optimal model for European cooperation and integration look like, if current institutional arrangements hadn't locked in existing structures, processes, and memberships?

💡 Richard Youngs gathered ideas from eleven experts:

Several leaders have called for major EU reforms, but only modest changes have resulted. What if the European order really could be reimagined from zero today?

For the policymaking and expert communities, it can sometimes feel like Groundhog Day.

But over the past twelve months, there have also been some noteworthy evolutions.

Rym Momtaz takes stock of the deep shifts underway.


As we close out another season of Strategic Europe, it is worth taking stock of the deep shifts underway.

🆕 | The hybrid warfare landscape is evolving rapidly, leaving policymakers without clear strategies.

To more effectively address emerging challenges, Raluca Csernatoni and Alicia Wanless argue governments should dig deeper into the underlying dynamics.


The hybrid warfare landscape is evolving rapidly, leaving policymakers without clear strategies. To better inform their work in addressing emerging challenges, governments must dig deeper into the underlying dynamics at play.
