Leaving Brexit aside, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is the most important geopolitical development in Europe since the fall of the Berlin wall, which opened a sequence during which EU integration overall moved forward. This trend was confirmed in recent years, including with the Covid crisis.
But will it be the case this time again?

For this 50th edition of Euroquestions we are pleased to welcome Pascal Lamy, coordinator of the Jacques Delors think tanks in Paris, Berlin, and Brussels, President of the Paris Peace Forum, former European Commissioner and Director-General of the World Trade Organisation.
