A (renewed) European Union in a (renewed) global order- The EU challenges in the current global scenario
The European Union is facing an unprecedented crisis period characterised by internal as well as external challenges.

The presence of these polarising political forces within the EU institutions represent a concrete obstacle to effective decision-making.
