‘Saying you’re a geopolitical actor doesn’t make it so’: Sven Biscop on Europe

The Belgian political scientist on what the Iran war and the transatlantic collision reveal about Europe’s place in a fast-changing world.


The rupture: how Europe fell out of love with America

Many believed the transatlantic alliance could weather another term of Trump, but a year and a half on those hopes have largely faded.


Europe lacks China strategy, needs new US approach, Biscop says

Sven Biscop, director at the Royal Institute for International Relations in Brussels, on what the Iran war and the transatlantic collision reveal about Europe’s place in a fast-changing world.


Europe’s crisis tourism: how the Iran war swallowed the EU’s geopolitical agenda

From trade with China to the Middle East conflict and resulting energy shock, Brussels’ agenda has been repeatedly knocked off course.


EU reels from explosive US security strategy that paints the bloc as a rival

Brussels warns Washington against interference as Trump’s outline accuses Europe of decline and backs far-right movements across the bloc.


Europe’s summer from hell bleeds into autumn as Trump and Xi turn the screws

Brussels flounders and others set the pace of global power politics, so commentators reach for comparison in Chinese history.


Europe reduced to spectator as Trump and Putin eye Ukraine carve-up in Alaska

Alaskan summit has European leaders scrambling to exert their influence on the discussion, in the absence of any seats at the table.


Sven Biscop is a Belgian academic and geopolitical analyst. As Director of the Europe in the World Programme at Egmont – the Royal Institute for International Relations in Brussels since 2002, he specialises in European foreign, security, and defence policy. He is also a Visiting Professor at Ghent University and the College of Europe.
