Welcome to the September edition of European Studies Review. This month, we look at how the EU is trying to stand on its own feet as global power shifts accelerate, from waning U.S. engagement to the scramble for influence in space and technology.

We start with the EU’s bid for autonomy in a world less reliant on Washington, then turn to the EU’s space ambitions, still in waiting, yet pushed forward by unlikely champions like Luxembourg. On security, we track the evolution of sanctions against Russia and examine how France and Poland, long divided in their approaches, are finding new ground against a common threat.

Beyond geopolitics, Europe’s dependence on foreign technology raises hard questions about its economic resilience. Lessons from Argentina’s decline, Hungary’s defiance on migration, and the rising tide of disinformation and bureaucratic inertia all point to the same conclusion: Europe’s future will be shaped as much by its internal choices as by external pressures.
