Brussels is pushing to begin formal membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova at the end of June as Hungary continues its oppostition; the newly passed "foreign agent law" in Georgia seems to be stalling the country's EU course. Enlargement has been at the top of the EU agenda since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, but these developments seem to be complicating each member candidate's prospects for a smooth accession. We checked in with Nicholas Locker, from the Center for a New American Security, to make sense of EU enlargement and the intervening variables in the process, such as Russia's continued aggression, China's Belt and Road Initiative, and European strategic autonomy.

The Russian war in Ukraine and Europe's current energy crisis are inextricably linked. Recent crisis-response techniques in the European Union appear to have been successful for the continent, resulting in just enough stored energy to survive through the coming winter. Looking ahead, medium- and long-term policies targeted at diversifying energy sources will be vital for economic and environmental sustainability in Europe. This week, we spoke with Max Gruenig, a climate and energy economist and Professor at Georgetown's Walsh School of Foreign Service. Our conversation touches on the energy crisis, Europe's most recent efforts to combat it, and Ukraine's future in the EU.

While an increasingly erratic climate demands environmental action and mitigation measures, the pandemic and war in Ukraine underscore serious vulnerabilities in global supply chains. In this context, we focus on two areas at the center of the transatlantic agenda — sustainability and resilience. Recent legislative developments in the U.S and EU aim to advance decarbonization, resource efficiency, and supply chain resilience. In this episode, Vice President of Corporate Communications for BMW of North America Adam Sykes joins us to discuss how these political and legislative developments are influencing BMW’s sustainability strategy and business operations.

At the Madrid Summit this past summer, NATO Leaders made significant and transformative choices that established the Alliance's near- and long-term strategic orientation with the 2030 Strategic Concept. The latest Strategic Concept was issued twelve years ago, but Russia's invasion of Ukraine continues to heighten Europe's security posture. As NATO members respond to the prospect of Russian aggression, implementing the NATO 2030 strategy signals a fundamental change in securitizing the Euro-Atlantic space for the next decade.
In this episode, Dr. Nele Marianne Ewers-Peters, and Ed Arnold discuss the 2030 Strategic Concept and its implications. Dr. Ewers-Peter is a lecturer at the Universität der Bundeswehr and a researcher who focuses on relations between member states and institutions. Ed Arnold is a Research Fellow at Royal United Services Institute focusing on European Security.

This week, we have a bonus episode from our friends at the German Marshall Fund. You can subscribe to their podcast, Out of Order, here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/out-of-order/id1326893666
Out of Order is a German Marshall Fund podcast about how our world was, is, and will be ordered. The Out of Order podcast brings together experts from the German Marshall Fund of the United States and beyond to talk about politics, economics, technology and everything else that might help us understand our disordered world.
When the Berlin Wall fell and the USSR crumbled, an era of excessive optimism set in. It was a period where it seemed like liberal democracies would lead a straight march to global peace. Three decades later, Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff says that, somewhere down the line, we took a hard turn toward excessive pessimism – or Immerschlimmerismus—the German word describing a feeling that things keep getting worse and worse. As the values that once bound western democracies fall by the wayside, is the concept of “the West” as we know it dead in the water?
Kleine-Brockhoff, head of GMF’s Berlin office is the author of the recent book “The World Needs the West“ (Die Welt braucht den Westen, in its original German) joins Out of Order to discuss why a system that once felt rock solid now seems to be, well, out of order—and whether a course correction is possible.
This episode was originally released on February 21, 2020.
In part 2 of the conversation, Richard Kuisel, a pre-eminent expert on the history of Franco-American relations, talked about the recent lecture given in his honor by Justin Vaïsse, Director General of the Paris Peace Forum, in December 2019, called "Eight Reasons We Can't Trust the French."
