The Eastern Europe and Transatlantic Network and the Jean Monnet Centre of Excellence are very pleased to co-host the lecture, “The Rediscovery of Great Power Politics”, with Professor Sven Biscop.
Event Description:
How Putin, Xi, and now Trump deal with Europe and Canada is not dissimilar. Great powers do as great powers do. Is there any space left for a strategy based on multilateralism and cooperation, or must Europeans and Canadians accept the rule of great power politics and embrace geopolitical and geoeconomic rivalry in order to survive?
