In this episode, Dr. Thu Nguyen helps us make sense of the EU’s biggest challenges and what we can expect from Germany in light of the recent elections.
With wars at its borders, inequality among its population members, rising nationalism, and debates over enlargement, the European Union is facing one of its biggest tests yet. Can it stay united and adapt, or is fragmentation inevitable?
Germany’s recent election results sent shockwaves through its political landscape, but what do they mean for Europe? By exploring questions surrounding Germany’s leadership in the EU, shifting voter dynamics, and the broader debate over European integration, we explore how these developments fit into the bigger picture of Europe’s future.
Thu argues for a European Solution and analyses how to navigate internal and fundamental disagreements at the EU.
With a PhD in EU constitutional law, Thu is an expert in democratic legitimacy, EU institutions, and the rule of law. As Deputy Director at the [Jacques Delors Centre] (https://www.delorscentre.eu/) in Berlin, she’s not just analyzing European politics—she’s shaping the debate.
You may also know Thu as the host of “EU to go,” a podcast that breaks down EU politics clearly and concisely.
Expect to learn:
- Whether the EU is really ready for enlargement—or just pretending to be.
- Why European strategic autonomy is more than a buzzword.
- Germany’s elections and their impact on EU leadership.
Listen in as we dive into the key decisions shaping Europe’s future.
