Imperialism as a new geopolitical reality
Recently, the Munich Security Conference has served as a platform to launch a warning about the return of a world order reminiscent of the old imperialist dynamics. In a scenario where the world powers are regrouped in spheres of influence, the global landscape becomes more and more complex.
The pendulum of the story
Historians and analysts such as Gideon Rachman of the Financial Times warn that authoritarianism gains ground, and the actions of figures such as Trump, Putin and Xi Jinping are indicative of a global tendency towards brute force in international relations. This change in paradigm forces us to reconsider our alliances and strategies.
Europe’s reaction: need for a new strategy
In Brussels’s political circles, the restlessness is palpable. Josep Borrell, a former EU representative, clearly said it: “Europe is surrounded by carnivores, and we continue to be herbivores.” This metaphor emphasizes the urgent need to adapt to a world where the laws of the jungle seem to prevail.
The Federalist European Union Manifesto
The European Union of Federalists has published a forceful manifesto denouncing the growing threat of authoritarian empires, such as Russia and China, which challenge European integrity. Tensions with the United States, which have broken the transatlantic alliance under the Trump administration, are a central theme of this document.
Reform proposals and the necessary convention
The EU (AIACE) former Association has called for an immediate call for a convention that will design a coordinated response to global threats. The need for political union and common strategies in the field of defense and foreign policy is more urgent than ever.
The time to decide
History has shown us that decisions made in times of crisis can define the future of a nation or a union. The call for a convention on the salvation of Europe could be the first step towards an effective response to the challenges that await us.
The opinion of experts and think tanks
Think tanks in Brussels analyze the current situation and many already predict a new Cold War between the United States and China. Geopolitical fragmentation and the crisis of trust between the two powers are redefining global alliances, and the EU faces the challenge of finding its place in this new scenario.
The challenge of adaptation
With transatlantic relationships at a delicate time, the EU must learn to manage their strategy in the face of rivalry between the United States and China. The ability to adapt to new international dynamics is key to its survival as a global actor.
As the world progresses to a new imperial order, Europe is at a decisive time. His response to these threats could determine not only his own existence, but also the future of global balance.
