Background

Today’s world is an increasingly complex environment. The fault lines between conflict and cooperation among a plethora of different actors are getting fuzzier.

The most severe financial and economic crisis of the past half century has accelerated an ongoing transformation in the economic, institutional and power relations at the global level.

How should Europe react in the face of these momentous changes? What are the instruments and what is the EU’s leverage as a foreign policy actor?

The entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty is hoped to herald a better coordinated and more assertive EU posture on the world stage. But what can we expect from, and what should we demand of, Europe?

Two Foreign Ministers, Lene Espersen from Denmark and Alexander Stubb from Finland, will address these questions in a public seminar.

This seminar is part of Lighthouse Europe, a series of debates on the global challenges facing the European Union organized by DIIS, in cooperation with the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the daily Politiken.
