Read our September Edition
Welcome to the September edition of European Studies Review. This issue explores how Europe is navigating complex landscape of geopolitical competition, technological change, migration, regulation and economic security. From emerging markets and critical resources to borders, enlargement and strategic industries, our contributors examine some of the key challenges shaping Europe’s place in a rapidly changing world.
We begin with analyses of the EU’s fragmented response to the rise of prediction markets and Europe’s evolving approach to critical raw materials, including the relationship between European strategic interests, Africa’s resources and France’s emerging rare earth strategy.
The discussion then turns to some of the regulatory and institutional questions confronting Europe today: copyright and the protection of personal identity, surveillance at the borders of Ceuta and Melilla, institutional learning under the EU Migration Pact, and the challenges surrounding Bosnia and Herzegovina’s path towards EU membership. Together, these articles offer a wide-ranging perspective on how Europe is adapting its institutions, policies and strategic priorities to new political, economic and technological realities.
