EUCO Debrief is our series of policy responses to the regularly published conclusions of the European Council. Each time the European Council meet for a summit, TEPSA gathers its leading academics to comment on the conclusions, analysing alliances formed, maintained, and broken, investigating the policy implications of the consensus reached, and prescribing solutions to move Europe forward. This month, our experts focus on a number of important topics discussed at the European Council: updates on Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine, EU energy policy in the context of the war, the state of play as regards EU-China relations, and more.
This month, in addition to the foreword by TEPSA Secretary-General Jim Cloos, our expert contributors include:
