Conference in english
Global macroeconomic imbalances were a major cause of the current crisis, and attempts to deal with them are certain to create powerful national and international tensions. What are those tensions likely to be, and what do they tell us about prospects for the future? Rebalancing of growth, then, raises again the problem of winners and losers. The structure of interests in the major societies will change as their economic orientation changes. How can governments facilitate positive changes and strengthen an international environment in which cooperation among the major powers takes place?

Assessing the Balance of Power between Europe and Russia
The evolving U.S. strategic posture and the intensification of the war in Ukraine are reshaping the security landscape in Europe. This context calls for a clear assessment of the balance of power between Europe and Russia.
Europe in turbulence: navigating a new world order without the United States?
The foundations of the post-1945 international order, long anchored by U.S. leadership, are shifting. Amid intensifying geopolitical rivalry, democratic backsliding, and strategic fatigue in Washington, the question arises: what if the United States no longer plays its pivotal role in international security? Simultaneously, the Global South is asserting new political and economic agency, complicating the old binaries of West vs. Rest. For Europe, this landscape is both a challenge and an inflection point.
The future of space cooperation in the new strategic context
The policy orientations of the Trump II administration profoundly challenge the foundations of international cooperation in space science and exploration. This shift reflects a broader trend of strategic disengagement and weakening of multilateral mechanisms in the space domain.
