TEPSA is happy to present its new policy brief “EU vs. Russia: A Bit More Self-Confidence Please”, written by Jim Cloos, TEPSA Secretary-General and former Deputy Director General for General and Institutional Policy at the General Secretariat of the Council of the European Union.
Abstract:
The recent bilateral contacts between Biden and Putin have led to a flurry of comments about the role of the EU. This is understandable but also a bit disheartening because it points to a lack of self-confidence on the part of the Europeans. Rather than complaining and whining, the Europeans should, when analysing the situation, also look at their own considerable appeal and potential.
