We begin the March edition of The Monthly Policy Review with a Snapshot on #Sweden, focusing on the forthcoming EU elections. The 2nd article in our series dedicated to the European Parliament #election focuses on the Swedish candidates 🇸🇪🇪🇺   At the backdrop of recent #geopolitical developments and escalating #security threats, European #defence industries are experiencing heightened demand. This includes Sweden, who with its just ratified #NATO membership is now seeing its defence industry transforming with increased collaborations and growth. Join us as we explore the European- and Swedish defence industries post-2022.   We finish with an analysis of Swedish #foreignpolicy in 2024 at the backdrop of the Sveriges riksdag debate on foreign policy in mid-February 🏛️ #mundusinternational #defenceindustry #sverige

Snap elections in #France have kept out the far-right, a welcome outcome. The post-WWII “cordon sanitaire” has endured—thanks to the creation of the cross-party “Front Republicain” that coordinated in close races to keep the right from power. But far from the “clarification” that Macron hoped to achieve from the gambit, what will follow is an extended period of political disarray. And as I said in my conversation this morning on CNBC with Karen Tso and Arabile Gumede on @SquawkBoxEurope, it’s too soon to write the political obituary of the French far-right. Markets had priced in a #hungparliament outcome, but this result is a mixed bag; better relations with the #EU are likely, and continued support for military aid to Ukraine, but challenges with cohesion on the budget this autumn. On the plus side, Putin will be disappointed…Stay tuned 🇫🇷 #PQ #PoliticalQuotient #VoxPopuliRisk #PoliticalRisk #Europe #independentanalysis Fordham Global Foresight

BRIEFING: US Elections Monthly Webinar: Ukraine, NATO & Transatlantic Security The 2024 US presidential election will shape the transatlantic security landscape for years to come. With the growing politicisation of support for Ukraine and the provision of military aid, the outcome of the election will be pivotal in defining the trajectory of the conflict. Simultaneously, questions over Donald Trump's commitment to NATO and Article 5 will almost certainly exacerbate security risks in the north Atlantic through election day in November and beyond. The briefing will take place online on Wednesday 10 April @ 1600hrs BST (London) / 1100hrs EDT (New York) Register today: https://lnkd.in/gx59YCy2 *Please be aware that we do not accept personal email addresses, when registering for the briefing please use a corporate address.

My new article in Naftemporiki The acquisition of "know how" by Greece in defence, multinational and extra-territorial operations is considered imperative in the context of the EU's common security and defence policy, especially with the uncertainty caused on the other side of the Atlantic and the upcoming US presidential elections. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dFPSMBMY

#VantageOnFirstpost EU President Calls Far-Right Parties "Putin's Proxies" | Vantage with Palki Sharma European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen has called far-right parties "Putin's proxies" weeks ahead of elections to the European parliament. Opinion polls suggest that far-right parties could make significant gains and influence EU's policy on Ukraine and Russia. European leaders fear that a right-wing EU could end military aid to Ukraine and reset relations with Putin's Russia. Von der Leyen is said to be reaching out to Italy's right-wing prime minister Giorgia Meloni for support from her right-of-centre coalition. What would a far-right European Union look like? How would it affect the war in Ukraine?
