The us board of peace and the erosion of european interests

18 March 2026

Read more
Europe’s divided response to Washington’s initiative reveals a deeper problem: a diplomatic framework that strengthens the US control while narrowing Europe’s strategic influence. The dispute over participation shows how a US-led diplomatic strategy can work against European interests, weakening both individual member states and the European Union (EU) as a political union.

L’HYDROGÈNE VERT, VECTEUR ÉNERGÉTIQUE POUR L’AVENIR DE LA TRANSITION ÉCOLOGIQUE DE L’UE

9 mars 2026

Read more
L’hydrogène vert est au cœur des politiques climatiques européennes pour accompagner l’UE dans sa transition énergétique et réduire sa dépendance aux énergies fossiles. Bien qu’il offre des opportunités économiques, le développement de l’hydrogène vert reste minime dans le mix énergétique européen tant il est complexe à généraliser à l’échelle du continent.

THE EUROPEAN DRONE DEFENCE INITIATIVE: BUILDING A 360° SHIELD AGAINST HYBRID THREATS

16 February 2026

Read more
In October 2025, the European Commission and the High Representative proposed the “Preserving Peace – Defence Readiness Roadmap 2030” in Brussels. The aim is to ensure all EU Member States can deter aggression by the end of the decade. This strategic plan identifies drones as a critical capability gap that must be filled to protect every citizen and square centimeter of European territory. By setting clear milestones for 2030, the EU aims to respond to escalating threats with unity and determination.

BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND MOSCOW: EU’S MARGINALIZATION IN THE UKRAINE PEACE TALKS

11 february 2026

Read more
As the peace talks for Ukraine restart and seem to gain new momentum over the last months of 2025, the EU tries to assert its presence as a central and fundamental actor for the peace process. Brussels insists that its absence would hinder every possibility of a just and lasting peace, undermining not only Ukraine’s future, but also the EU’s security. The EU is willing to pass from a role of financial supporter (and possible post-conflict stabilizer) to an actual co-architect of peace. Nevertheless, the Union continues to be excluded from formal peace talks, while the US President Donald Trump continues to seek direct negotiations with Putin’s Russia, hardly considering Ukraine’s will.

26 january 2026

In the past decade, housing prices have risen sharply across Europe. For many people, especially young, owning a home now feels out of reach. With rents increasing and supply falling short, some questions stand out: why is this happening, and what can the EU do about it?

How Georgian youth are replacing the government to save the EU integration

8 December 2025

Read more Facing the Georgian Dream party’s halt to EU accession, Georgian youth activists have taken on an unofficial diplomatic role. At the November 2025 JEF Europe Congress, the integration of JEF Georgia served as a deliberate, symbolic lifeline from European peers, replacing the state’s mission. This civil diplomacy keeps the country’s pro-European will visible

L’Union européenne est arrivée à la COP30 à Belém, au Brésil, avec l’objectif d’affirmer son leadership climatique sur la scène mondiale. Mais l’échec d’un accord sur la sortie des énergies fossiles a révélé les fragilités d’un bloc qui peine encore à parler d’une seule voix.

L’ÊTRE HUMAIN – L’OMÉGA D’UNE SOCIÉTÉ ?

10 juillet 2024

“Retourne cuisiner”, “rhabille-toi”, “on dirait un homme”, etc. Il y a aujourd’hui une montée phénoménale, notamment grâce aux réseaux sociaux, d’un masculinisme fièrement affiché et revendiqué. Si un sentiment d’évolution semblait prôner ces dernières années, c’est un profond sentiment de retour en arrière qui s’élève doucement dans notre société

Europe’s Free Press on Trial: SLAPPs and the Fight for Media Freedom

28 April 2026 Media independence Ludovica Avalle 7 min

Press freedom is one of the founding pillars of democracy: when it is threatened, democratic life suffers. Across Europe, journalistic freedom is under pressure, not only from political actors but also from economic and legal mechanisms that limit what the media can investigate and say. Non‑governmental organisations such as Reporters Without Borders and Freedom House, which regularly monitor these threats and advocate for journalistic freedom, have highlighted the spread of SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation) across the EU, especially in countries like Italy.

Fast fashion : comprendre la stratégie de l’UE pour mettre fin à la mode jetable.

20 April 2026 Climat European Union Florya De Decker 6 min

Un Européen consomme en moyenne chaque année plus de 25 kg de textiles, dont quasiment la moitié est jetée. Les déchets textiles sont très peu recyclés et la grande majorité est incinérée. En plus de l’impact qu’a la production de vêtements sur la consommation d’eau, leur recyclage est peu courant. Ce phénomène peut être qualifié de production de déchets textiles, notamment en raison de l’accélération des cycles de fabrication de géants de l’industrie vestimentaire. Face à ce modèle industriel destructeur de l’environnement, l’Union européenne (UE) a présenté différentes stratégies afin de freiner la fast fashion ,voire l’ultra-fast fashion.

Britain outside the Union, inside Europe’s orbit

16 April 2026 International Tatiana Pires 5 min

5 years after Brexit, the United Kingdom is once again looking towards Europe. From renewed cooperation on defence to a recent British push to be included in “Made in Europe” initiatives, London’s evolving strategy makes us question if the UK has really distanced itself from Europe.
