Welcome to the March edition of European Studies Review. This issue explores a Europe in transition, balancing technological advancement with the preservation of its core political and legal identity.
We lead with a critical look at the rise of e-Justice and the enduring role of human judgment, alongside an analysis of the EU’s digital borders and the political economy of eu-LISA. The theme of security and resilience continues with an examination of Germany’s Zeitenwende, the push for European industrial integration, and the complexities of the Defence and Security Procurement Directive.
Beyond the institutional core, we reflect on France’s role in integration, the shifting political landscape in Moldova, and the strategic dilemmas currently facing the British government. Together, these articles offer a comprehensive look at how Europe is reinforcing its sovereignty in an era of rapid global change.
