Europe

European geopolitics is increasingly defined by the interaction between security integration, energy transition, and renewed great-power competition. Russia's war in Ukraine has accelerated the need for strategic autonomy, reshaped defence planning, and exposed structural dependencies in energy and industrial supply chains. Debates over EU defence industrial capacity reflect a broader effort to adapt to a more contested international environment. This section examines military posture, alliance cohesion, and the geopolitical implications of economic policy, including critical raw materials, infrastructure investment, and technological competition. Particular attention is given to the role of Eastern Europe as a frontline security space and to the evolving relationship between European institutions and external actors. Through maps, data analysis, and thematic briefings, this hub situates Europe within the wider context of transatlantic strategy and global power realignment.
