“The successful implementation of any EU defence strategy is politically problematic because of reasons of sovereignty; large countries with large defence industries must act more generously towards other member states.” For the fifth article in our Draghi Report Series, HCSS director of research Tim Sweijs and director of the security programme Frank Bekkers give their take on the report’s section on Defence.
Opinie | Mensen zijn het zwaaien met mensenrechten zat en willen oplossingen zien. Juist de idealisten hebben met hun onbuigzaamheid in het migratiedebat het vertrouwen in de rechtsstaat geen dienst bewezen, schrijft HCSS analist Gerben Bakker in EW Magazine. De verdragsrechtelijke realiteit waarvan Nederland altijd een braaf voorvechter is geweest, verliest daardoor draagvlak. En daardoor verliest de rechtsstaat gezag.
“The main challenge right now is determining how to implement the CRMA and coordinate these actions at the European level. The EU doesn’t need more recommendations, it needs to focus on the existing legislation and act on it.” For the next installment of our HCSS Draghi Report Series, we asked Irina Patrahau and Michel Rademaker for their take on the report’s section on Critical Raw Materials (CRM).
On 17 September 2024, HCSS strategic analyst Laura Jasper participated in a panel on “Unveiling the Disinformation Paradox” at the 13th EDEN Europol Conference in The Hague. Laura’s contribution centered around adopting a strategic approach to the question of Foreign Information Manipulation and Interference. She addressed the link between existing fractures within society, foreign interference and the blurring boundary between state and non-state actors, in particular organized crime groups, and how this threatens national security.
De georganiseerde misdaad maakt dankbaar gebruik van de wapenhandel die door de oorlog in Oekraïne op gang is gekomen. Wat kunnen we hier tegen doen? Paul van Liempt bespreekt het in deze nieuwe aflevering van podcast De Strateeg met Laura Jasper, strategisch analist bij HCSS, en met Tom Driessen, voormalig hoofd van de nationale recherche en nu strategisch adviseur bij HCSS.
“It is encouraging that the recommendations from Draghi advocate for innovation, specifically in batteries, as well as synthetic fuels. However, Europe’s approach to China cannot rely solely on tariffs and protectionism.” In part 3 of our Draghi Report Series, HCSS director of political affairs Han ten Broeke and strategic analyst Ron Stoop give their take on the report’s section on the Automotive sector.
The next contribution in our HCSS Draghi Report series comes from our strategic analyst Benedetta Girardi, who together with analysts Ron Stoop and Berend Kwak discusses the analysis and policy recommendations on semiconductors. “Draghi adresses the dependency on China, but does not address the potential risks of a too high dependency on the US in the semiconductor value chain.”
Rode lijnen bestaan wel degelijk en de gevolgen van het overschrijden ervan ook. Wij zijn al in oorlog met Rusland, maar het is een andere oorlog dan u denkt, schrijft Rob de Wijk in zijn column voor Trouw. Niet onze krijgsmachten zijn het doelwit, maar de bevolking: u en ik dus. Rusland wil ons verzwakken door middel van maatschappelijke ontwrichting.
The highly influential Draghi report has opened up a lot of policy topics for fundamental debate. In our Draghi Report Series we ask our experts on their appraisal of the sectoral analyses and policy recommendations. To kick off the series, HCSS analysts Ron Stoop and Berend Kwak have interviewed our very own Patrick Bolder about the Space domain.
