The pandemic has accelerated EU efforts to build up resilience, but more must be done. Boosting preparedness for future crises requires greater trust between governments and better engagement of citizens.
The EU’s AI-cybersecurity ecosystem remains highly fragmented. To realize its technological leadership ambitions, the bloc must connect the dots between its myriad initiatives, processes, and stakeholders.
Once limited to the state level, terms like “strategic autonomy” and “sovereignty” are now commonly used in the supranational EU context, including in the field of defence, tech, and digital. The meaning of these terms is not yet fixed but rather articulated via hegemonic interventions across various interconnected policy fields.
In this era of geopolitical competition, Europe believes it offers an approach based upon multilateralism and international solidarity. To convince others of this viable alternative, Europe must better understand perceptions in the Global South and improve its own international standing.
Responsible for 95 percent of international communications and data traffic, submarine cables are the backbone of the digital era. To mitigate security threats, governments must prioritize the security and resilience of this critical infrastructure.
Chips—the building blocks of all electronic devices—are the backbone of today’s interconnected society. The technological and geopolitical importance of chips, which are now in short supply, is at the center of discussions in the U.S.-EU Trade and Technology Council.
The dependence of automated vehicles on software exposes them to significant cybersecurity challenges. To fundamentally change transportation in the twenty-first century in a safe and secure way, AVs must place cyber at the center of their risk management.
Dissatisfaction with globalization has turned into a powerful force, with unchecked globalism increasingly seen as a threat to the integrity of democratic rule. Policymakers must reframe globalization to mitigate its negative consequences while keeping its core growth-enhancing dynamics intact.
Semiconductor manufacturing is currently concentrated in a handful of countries, exacerbating supply chain dependence. The EU’s newly launched Chips Act aims to reduce this dependence, and avoid future shortages—although naysayers question whether the EU will be able to obtain the necessary funding.
In a complex, changing, and increasingly contested world, the Carnegie Endowment generates strategic ideas and independent analysis, supports diplomacy, and trains the next generation of international scholar-practitioners to help countries and institutions take on the most difficult global problems and safeguard peace.
