  Is Europe destined to Irrelevance?

  Jul 22, 202650 min

  Our guest, Fabian Zuleeg is the Chief Executive of the European Policy Centre. He joins the podcast to discuss why Europe’s "holiday from history" has officially come to an end. As the US pulls back its "parental guidance" and global democracy faces a retreat, Zuleeg argues that the EU must move past the "progress illusion"—the dangerous idea that incremental steps are enough to maintain relevance in a rapidly changing world. From the strategic necessity of integrating Ukraine to the urgent need to bypass national vetoes, this conversation offers a sobering roadmap for European survival. #EuropeanUnion #EPC #US #France #MFF #MovingEurope Timestamps: - 00:00 – End of transatlantic guidance- 03:00 – Era of structural challenges- 06:00 – Shrinking global GDP share- 09:00 – Missing the technology bus- 12:00 – Adapting to AI technology- 15:00 – Coalition of the willing- 18:00 – Integrating Ukraine’s defense sector- 21:00 – Ukraine’s strategic EU necessity- 24:00 – Bypassing the national veto- 27:00 – Common European borrowing needs- 30:00 – Parallel financial instruments- 33:00 – Preparing for Le Pen- 36:00 – Future of liberal democracy- 39:00 – Learning far-right playbooks- 42:00 – Engaging citizens with honesty- 45:00 – Shrinking window of agency- 48:00 – Lessons from Brexit’s failure- 50:00 – Avoiding the progress illusion
