The role and influence of the European Union on the global stage - An interview with Sven Biscop
Major conflicts are raging in different parts of the world. The war in Ukraine continues and since early October, a war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, following Hamas terrorist attack on Israel - adding a new chapter to the violent and complicated history of that region. Leaders of the European Union member states met in Brussels late last week to discuss these two conflicts and other pressing matters. In this episode I interview Belgian professor Sven Biscop, an expert at the Egmont Institute, about the role and the influence of the EU on the global stage. In this context we discuss the Middle-East, China, NATO, US politics and the support of the West to Ukraine, in a wide-ranging interview about geopolitics.
