U.K., French Elections Could Herald a Paradoxical Alliance Shift By Dalibor Rohac The Dispatch July 16, 2024 In the immediate future, Europe and the EU might thus face a paradox: A country that has just left the bloc is keen to do more on the continent, while the EU’s two central players—France and Germany—are increasingly paralyzed and inward-looking. Together with the prospect of another Trump presidency, this will present some European governments with an intractable challenge—particularly those that were used to taking their strategic cues from Berlin, Paris, or Washington. To expect Westminster alone to fill that void seems a bridge too far, but here is to hoping that Sir Keir and Mr. Lammy will be part of the solution, rather than add to the problems of Europe’s security.

As promised, here is my article on the #MaastrichtDebate that took place last Monday among the candidates to lead the next #EuropeanCommission. It is the first campaign stop ahead of the #EuropeanParliament election that will take place from the 6th to the 9th of June across the #EuropeanUnion. While most citizens will likely decide their vote based on national issues, the debate sets the stage for the pan European campaign, with fault lines clearly drawn. The election, however, will not be the end but only the beginning of the transition period between the current EU mandate (2019-2024) and the next one (2024-2029). Find here the full timeline: https://lnkd.in/e-uMWCm2 #UseYourVote
On Monday night, lead candidates for the upcoming European Elections met in Maastricht for a spirited debate on crucial issues shaping the continent's future including the Green Deal, competitiveness, external affairs, and foreign interference. The atmosphere was charged as many candidates took the opportunity to scrutinise Commission President von der Leyen on her record. Dive deeper into the discourse shaping Europe's political landscape on the Elections Hub.

The results of the EU parliamentary elections were in line with last week's note, so I assumed the remainder of June would be focused on whether Commission President von der Leyen would gain a second term. Because Mr. Macron has other ideas, France will receive all the attention over the next three weeks. Von der Leyen will, however, work behind the scenes to gain the support of EU leaders before their summit on June 27. She will emphasize three reasons to support her. First, she is the only available candidate who can get the support of the leaders and cobble together a majority among MEPs. Second, she steered the EU through the crises of COVID and Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Third, it would be shortsighted to change leaders while a war rages in Europe and with the specter of the return of Donald Trump as US president. #euelections2024 #politics #vonderleyen #euparliament #politicaleconomy https://econ.st/4bc97FD

War or peace? Beijing tried to frame Taiwan’s presidential and legislative elections on January 13 as an existential choice between the “destroyer of peace”, Vice President Lai Ching-te of the ruling DPP, and the more China-friendly opposition parties. Voters in the self-ruled island mostly ignored Beijing’s bluster – and chose the status quo. Learn more about the implications of the election results for cross-Strait relations, US-China relations, and domestic politics in Taiwan from Enodo Economics' newest blog post. #Taiwan #China #US #USChinaRelations
