Studium Generale | Laura Jasper: Heeft de liberale democratie een toekomst?
Sinds de oorlog in Oekraïne lijken de kaarten op het wereldtoneel opnieuw geschud: westerse dominantie is niet meer vanzelfsprekend. Ondertussen is de VS steeds meer in zichzelf gekeerd en lukt het Europa maar niet om een vuist te maken. Wat betekent dit voor de toekomst van de liberale democratie in de wereld? En welke rol kan Europa spelen in de nieuwe wereldorde? HCSS strategisch analist Laura Jasper sprak hierover in Utrecht in een volle zaal voor de Studium Generale serie “Democratie in een wankele wereldorde.”
De Balie | Benedetta Girardi: Geopolitical tensions in the South China Sea
Of all the world’s conflict zones, the Indo-Pacific is overlooked. The risks of escalation are real. With China involved, there is a lot at stake. HCSS strategic analyst – and expert on the Indo-Pacific – Benedetta Girardi participated in a debate at De Balie, where she discussed the rising tensions and the role that Europe should play in the region. Is Europe playing its role accordingly? What motivates the actions of China and the U.S.? And what about the 5.9 billion people living in the Indo-Pacific, do they get a say in this geopolitical game of chess?
European Sustainable Energy Week | Irina Patrahau on supply chains for critical minerals
HCSS strategic analyst Irina Patrahau participated in a panel during the European Sustainable Energy Week in Brussels, where she spoke on the importance of critical minerals for the clean energy transition. In her contribution, she focused on geopolitical issues and the challenges that industry faces to secure complex and opaque supply chains. “There is a gap between the supply of minerals and final consumers in Europe, as the midstream is often too complex for single companies to map, understand and manage supply chains risks,” Patrahau stated.
