The future of German foreign policy? @dgapev
@IPQuarterly has asked @fuecks, @markspeich & me to contribute to a short series: Fast Forward.
My argument: Germany’s foreign policy debate is too narrow. Foreign policy is also fiscal policy.
A few thoughts:

Germany's China shock.
How collective elite failure maneuvered Germany into position of weakness and vulnerability vis-à-vis Beijing’s authoritarian state capitalism & what needs to happen to change course.
Just in time for the Merz China trip.
New piece with @IPQuarterly.

"In his attempt to secure the best deal possible or advance his policy ambitions, Trump rejects convention, diplomatic norms, and legal constraints," writes Council Council President and CEO @londonvinjamuri in @IPQuarterly. ip-quarterly.com/en/trump-do…

Europe is under increasing pressure from both 🇺🇸&🇨🇳
With @IPQuarterly I talked about:
🔹 Current “deal” with 🇺🇸
🔹 Defence against unfair subsidies from 🇨🇳
🔹 Role of new trade agreements
🔹 Why Europe can only survive with greater strategic autonomy

This is an important text that holds many lessons for other transatlantic partners (-> Merz)

Time to tackle the "what if" question. Could Europe trust France on defense if it is run by a President Le Pen or Bardella?

‘With decisive 🇪🇺 and #NATO summits coming up in June, 🇬🇧 is now part of 🇪🇺 discussions, and stands to profit from the outcomes as much as – and likely more than – a non-🇪🇺member could expect to,’ writes @HoffHenning, @IPQuarterly

"A gradual move toward a more European NATO might be the only way to keep the alliance alive and Europe safe in the coming years."
The critical question is whether Europeans still have time to make it happen.
@KristiRaik in @IPQuarterly commentary ⤵️
Europe’s most important task—and biggest dilemma—is trying to keep the US engaged in European defense, while also preparing for its possible abandonment.
By sticking together, the Nordic-Baltic states are leading the way.

For @IPQuarterly, I put together this piece exploring how Europe needs to avoid making strategic mistakes that would lead to what one could call a "Justinian Trap" in adapting to a post-American global order:

Incoming Chancellor Friedrich Merz has lost a lot of trust in 🇩🇪. Meanwhile, his 🇪🇺 partners are hoping he will use GER money to underpin europ. leadership ambitions. They are in danger of losing sight of domestic political risks, I argue @IPQuarterly: ip-quarterly.com/en/risks-me…

It’s difficult enough for Europe to find the right response to the ever-closer Russia-China relationship. The apparent US attempt to split Moscow from Beijing is making matters worse.
My latest for @IPQuarterly

“It is now becoming all the clearer that the 🇩🇪 & 🇪🇺 denial of reality over the past decade is going to lead to high costs for 🇺🇦 & 🇪🇺 as a whole”, writes @meistefan1 in @IPQuarterly with regard to the return of #Trump as 🇺🇸 president & its consequences.
