Future of the European Union
From Brexit to the election of Emmanuel Macron, it has been an eventful year for the European Union. When trying to gauge the overall health of the union, one is confronted with a variety of mixed signals. Economic conditions have stabilized and are improving in many countries, but at the same time, a persistent migrant crisis and outbreaks of terrorism represent a threat to security. With much happening, we asked Wilson Global Fellow George Kopits to provide an overview on the future of the EU. That’s the focus of this edition of Wilson Center NOW.

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe” – an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
