Background: European countries are struggling to find their footing in a world evolving fast with changing geoeconomics and technological transition.

Whether reacting to US authorities shattering traditional alliances, assessing Ukraine as an existential conflict within its borders, or befuddled by increasingly sophisticated former colonies-turned-economic powerhouses, Europe is at a crossroads.

• Will Europe be part of a New World Order?

• What role will it play?

• Most importantly, who and what will define the future of Europe 2.0?

This Institute Interactive explores these questions and more in a discussion designed to evaluate Europe’s strategic opportunity to take (or lose) a primary seat at the new global table.
