Baroness Cathy Ashton talks to Global Europe Director Robin Quinville about Ukraine’s future in the European Union. How will the European Union change over the next few years as it opens itself to Ukraine and other candidate countries? Will the next enlargement be a catalyst for EU internal reform? What will the EU look like in the coming decades?  

Baroness Ashton was Vice President of the European Commission and High Representative of the European Union for Foreign and Security Policy from 2009–2014; she is now the Wilson Center’s Slater Family Distinguished Fellow.  Join us for a fascinating discussion on the EU of the future.

Global Europe Program

The Global Europe Program addresses vital issues affecting the European continent, US-European relations, and Europe’s ties with the rest of the world. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues: digital transformation, climate, migration, global governance. We also examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our program activities cover a wide range of topics, from the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE to European energy security, trade disputes, challenges to democracy, and counter-terrorism. 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.  Read more
