The Foundation for European Progressive Studies (FEPS): the Progressive Post-- latest issue
Discover the latest issue of the Progressive Post
The EU finds itself increasingly compressed between intensifying global rivalries, while global issues urging collective responses and multilateral solutions continue to unfold. Global topics and the EU's approach to them are therefore at the core of the latest issue of the Progressive Post.
Even under the Biden administration, EU-US relations haven't been fully re-established to pre-Trump levels. In this difficult context, the EU's search for 'strategic autonomy' embodies its attempt to shape its foreign policy according to its own values and interests. This time, our special coverage is dedicated to Strategic autonomy: challenges and pitfalls. And one of our dossiers highlights the EU's relations to its most important ally, the United States: EU-US: love no more.
COP26 has brought a flurry of statements and declarations, but certainly no breakthrough. That is why we have called this issue's focus on the climate conference 'Cheerleading exercise': despite some progress, we are far from fending off climate change, and even further away from tackling the social dimension of the problem.
In the dossier 'Eastern discomfort', we rest our gaze on more domestic issues to analyse the gloomy situation of progressive parties in central and eastern Europe. Once considered the 'east European tigers', many of these countries seem an unfulfilled promise now. True renewal is urgently needed—and not entirely impossible.
