The US Redraws Economic Security: Partnerships Must be Backed by Force – EDITORIAL
4 April 2025

A common foreign and security policy offers the prospect of transforming the Union from a passive participant into a strategic actor. However, the pursuit of agency is not merely a reactive response to short-term events but represents the next logical phase of European integration.
The question is not whether Europe is capable of asserting greater autonomy but whether it will seize this moment to advance the process.
