🇪🇺 | Time for an EU Security Council? Facing Trump's return as US president, the EU is ill-equipped to act swiftly on foreign policy & security. An EU Security Council could empower it to respond more effectively, argues Stefan Lehne on #StrategicEurope: carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…


The EU does not seem to grasp the urgency & severity of the Trump challenge. The US President-elect's foreign policy team—helped by their ideological affinity with some European politicians—will strive to divide EU member states, warns Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

When the UK decided to leave the EU, Macron & Merkel has proposed the creation of a European Security Council. The idea deserves to be revisited as such a body would enable the EU to respond more effectively to global developments, argues Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

The creation of a European security council would make the EU less vulnerable to outside forces. It would also provide a forum for aligning EU & UK foreign policies as they will face similar challenges during Trump's second term, argues Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

The EU's institutions & procedures in foreign policy are ill-suited to tackle the challenges posed by Trump's second presidency. An EU Security Council would enable the bloc to respond faster & more effectively to global developments, argues Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

In the latest episode of the Vienna Coffee House Conversations podcast, host Ivan Vejvoda speaks with Stefan Lehne, Senior Fellow at Carnegie Europe, former Austrian diplomat, and a 2018/19 Europe's Futures Fellow of the IWM and ERSTE Foundation | @erstestiftung.org on Bluesky, to examine the challenges facing

As #Austria edges toward an FPÖ-led coalition, the top contender for #Germany's chancellorship is pushing for anti-immigration policies. To contain the far right, mainstream parties must defend the core values of liberal democracy, warns Stefan Lehne: carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…


In Austria, Kickl looks set to become chancellor, while in Germany, AfD is imposing its anti-migration policies. In Europe, the firewalls that mainstream parties tried to erect to keep the far right out of governing are crumbling, deplores Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

A coalition government led by far-right leader Kickl is a likely outcome in Austria. At EU level, this would end Orbán's isolation in the European Council and, together with Slovakia's Fico, they could form a Euroskeptic alliance, warns Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

Center-right parties are often tempted to mimic policies of their right-wing competitors in the hopes of containing their success. As an electoral strategy, this frequently backfires and ultimately favors the far-right parties, explains Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

EU enlargement remains the union's most potent tool to strengthen unity and stability in Europe. But to succeed in the current geopolitical era, enlargement requires greater EU engagement and an innovative, differentiated approach, argues Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

The transactionalism taking over international relations is increasing the risk of deadlock in the EU. If Hungary's veto persists, EU countries that support Ukraine may block progress on the Western Balkans to put pressure on Orbán, warns Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

Long-standing US support for EU enlargement projects has come to an end. It is already clear that Washington's extraordinary demand for a large share of the Ukrainian mineral industry will complicate Kyiv's progress toward the EU, writes Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…

Tomorrow, the #EuropeanPoliticalCommunity will bring European—both EU & non-EU—leaders together. In their talks, they should reflect on the EU's role as an anchor of European stability & how enlargement can be used to enhance security, says Stefan Lehne. carnegieendowment.org/europe/strateg…
