EU and the World: A Moment of Opportunity? | 29th Forum 2000 Conference

As the global balance of power shifts, the European Union has a chance to redefine its role internationally. By expanding engagement and acting as a proactive force for reform, it can help build a more inclusive order where economic cooperation aligns with democracy, human rights, and international law. Yet the EU faces a credibility challenge: often seen as a declining power, it is accused of double standards—supporting Ukraine while neglecting other partners’ concerns. This is compounded by shifting U.S. policy and Russian and Chinese disinformation that erodes trust. What are the EU’s key interests, and does it have the tools to pursue them? How can it build trust, develop equal partnerships, and leverage trade, market access, and investment to forge democratic coalitions? And what concrete steps must it take to succeed?
