Read our December Edition
Welcome to the December edition of European Studies Review. This edition explores how Europe defines and projects its power, culturally, legally, and politically, amid growing questions about sovereignty and resilience.
From the EU’s cultural and visual identity to the limits of symbolic minimalism, we examine how Europe represents itself at home and abroad. We also tackle pressing societal and legal debates, including the shift toward consent-based rape laws and the search for non-carceral approaches to justice.
Resilience and sovereignty remain central themes, from the EU Civil Protection Mechanism’s role in future crises to the challenges AI poses to European digital autonomy. Institutional tensions surface in debates on lobbying and regulation, while a comparative look at the EU and the Arab League places Europe’s regional role in a broader perspective.
Together, these articles reflect a Europe increasingly shaped by the choices it makes about identity, power, and governance.
