Growing tensions between the US and China have challenged the rules-based international order. Despite tense transatlantic relations over the last years, the US remains Europe’s strategic ally while economic ties between the EU and Beijing have deepened. The election of Joe Biden as US president could become a game changer to face global challenges and relaunch transatlantic relations.
Is the rebirth of multilateralism really around the corner? What are the implications for the EU’s role as a geopolitical actor? From Europe’s neighborhood to China, what to expect from the EU’s foreign and security policy in 2021?
This event is promoted by ISPI and the Embassy of Germany in Rome in the context of the project “Making the EU Matter – Together for Europe’s Recovery”.
