A new survey of 10 European Union nations conducted by the Pew Research Center highlights Europeans’ international threat perception and assesses their wariness of global security and economic engagement. It tests Europeans’ commitment to multilateralism, their willingness to use military force, their readiness to do more for developing countries and how they weigh ties with Asia and the United States. Finally, the survey asks Europeans to judge their country’s role on the world stage, how it compares to the past and what role they want the European Union to play in the future.
This survey builds on a recent study by the Pew Research Center on the degree of isolationism, protectionism, support for NATO and the UN and views of Europe among the American public, enabling a comparison of European and American attitudes. 

The debate will be held in French and in English
