5:00 pm Strategic Autonomy or Strategic Illusion? Europe’s Geopolitical Dilemma
MCC nyíregyházi képzési központ
4400 Nyíregyháza Kálvin tér 4-5.As global power balances shift and security risks intensify, Europe faces a fundamental strategic question: can it truly act autonomously, or is “strategic autonomy” more aspiration than reality? While the European Union has developed significant regulatory influence, its military dependence on the United States continues to shape its room for maneuver. Has Europe mistaken rule-making authority for hard geopolitical power? And does it possess the political cohesion, industrial capacity and institutional agility required to respond independently in times of crisis? This panel will consider whether Europe is prepared to translate ambition into capability — or whether strategic autonomy remains an unresolved dilemma at the heart of the European project.
