In this 45-minute executive conversation, Dr. Nathalie Tocci, Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali and former Special Advisor to EU High Representatives, joins us to assess how Europe is navigating intensifying global rivalries. Tocci brings deep expertise on EU foreign policy, great power competition, and Europe’s evolving role on the world stage.

Together with Maria Demertzis, ESF Center Leader at The Conference Board, Tocci will explore:

• The unraveling of transatlantic relations and what it means for European strategy
• How US-China competition is shaping EU-China relations, especially post-Ukraine
• Europe’s evolving approach to Russia and the war in Ukraine
• Where the Global South fits into Europe's foreign policy outlook

This candid, strategic briefing is designed for leaders tracking Europe's external posture in a changing global order.
