The World in Europe

The World in Europe is the collective effort of the CIDOB researchers to reflect on the crises and global trends that, inevitably, insert the European Union into current international dynamics and determine its position in the world. This report explores the conflicts that are consolidating an arc of instability at the EU’s borders, as well as the dynamics that reveal a power shift at a global scale. On the occasion of Europe Day, CIDOB aims to think the world from Europe and, above all, to identify how an ever more complex, interconnected and contested world is reflected in the continent.
