Europe's role in the world: A foreign policy guided by values in the light of global crisis management

Crisis Talk with Nicole Deitelhoff and Stefan Kroll

[Translate to English:]

[Translate to English:]

The Euro­pean Union is the result of a large num­ber of success­fully overcome crises. Having started out as a peace project, the EU is now an impor­tant player for peace, security and sustaina­bility in the world. It is not only bound by its funda­mental values in its inter­nal actions; human rights, the rule of law and demo­cracy are also guiding prin­ciples for its foreign policy. The current wars and crises in the world challenge the EU to strengthen the corner­stones of its value-led foreign and security policy. What does a value-led foreign policy mean for the reorga­nisation of European security following the Russian attack on Ukraine or the Hamas massacres in Israel? What strate­gies does the EU have towards auto­cracies and their alliances that reject Euro­pean values? How can Euro­pean values be strengthened and, if neces­sary, renewed in the face of these challen­ges?

 

Crisis Talks of the Leibniz Research Alliance “Crises in a Globalised World”

In the Euro­pean Union, crises have always been an impor­tant driver for change and progress. In crisis situ­ations, the Euro­pean Union, which is characte­rised by a high degree of hetero­geneity and is oriented towards shaping opinions, has so far usually been able to create common percep­tions of a situation, overcome blockages and facilitate inte­gration. As part of the series of Crisis Talks, the Leibniz Re­search Alliance “Crises in a Globa­lised World” addresses how Europe should deal with current and past crises.
