Hospodářské noviny | Climate is giving way to security and economy. However, easing off on green transformation now would be a strategic mistake

June 26, 2024

This year's elections to the European Parliament have sparked debates about continuing the European plan to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to net zero by 2050, despite recent events suggesting the need to reassess this plan. The election results did not signify as much of a setback for European green ambitions as anticipated. The priority of climate and environment is no longer as high among most Europeans as it was five years ago, reflecting current political and international challenges such as security, economic prosperity, and the competitiveness of European industry. Kateřina Davidova, a researcher at EUROPEUM Institute, wrote an opinion piece on this topic for Hospodářské noviny.

Policy Brief | Were Czech industrial policy interests reflected in EU 2024-2029 strategic agenda discussions?

June 27, 2024

In light of the recent return of industrial policy to the global and EU stage, this policy brief outlines how Czech interests in this policy were reflected in the debates leading up to the adoption of 2024-2029 EU strategic agenda. First, it strives to define Czech industrial policy interests, outlining two alternative approaches to how they can be perceived. The liberal approach follows the long established consensus, according to which Czechia – as a very open, export oriented economy – should promote above all a seamless Single Market and free trade. Writes EUROPEUM Institute researcher Klára Votavová in her Policy Brief.

Policy Brief | Byly zájmy české průmyslové politiky zahrnuty v diskusích o strategické agendě EU na roky 2024-2029?

June 27, 2024

V souvislosti s nedávným návratem průmyslové politiky na globální a unijní scénu tento policy brief popisuje, jak se české zájmy v této politice odrážely v debatách vedoucích k přijetí strategické agendy EU na období 2024-2029. Nejprve se snaží definovat zájmy české průmyslové politiky a nastiňuje dva alternativní přístupy k tomu, jak je lze vnímat. Liberální přístup navazuje na dlouhodobě zavedený konsenzus, podle něhož by Česko - jako velmi otevřená, exportně orientovaná ekonomika - mělo prosazovat především bezproblémový vnitřní trh bez překážek a volný obchod. Píše výzkumná pracovnice Institutu EUROPEUM Klára Votavová ve své nové publikaci.

ČTK | Lipavský: Dealing with Russian aggression is key for the future of Europe

June 13, 2024

According to Minister of Foreign Affairs Jan Lipavský, it is crucial for the future of Europe how it deals with Russia's brutal aggression towards Ukraine and its increasingly aggressive stance towards the West. He also emphasized that it will be essential for the European Union to ambitiously strengthen its role as a global player in the coming period, including prompt action in the development of the defense industry. He presented this vision in his speech at the Prague European Summit co-organized by EUROPEUM Institute and the Institute of International Relations.

June 13, 2024

Podle ministra zahraničí Jana Lipavského je klíčové pro budoucnost Evropy, jak se vypořádá s brutální agresí Ruska vůči Ukrajině a jeho stále agresivnějším postojem vůči Západu. Bude také nezbytné, aby Evropská unie v nadcházejícím období ambiciózně posílila svou roli jako globálního hráče, včetně rychlého jednání v oblasti rozvoje obranného průmyslu. Tyto kroky zdůraznil v projevu na Prague European Summit spolupořádaném Institutem EUROPEUM a Ústavem mezinárodních vztahů.

ČTK | Far-right parties will get stronger after the European elections, but can they unite?

June 05, 2024

And what would this mean for Ursula von der Leyen's chances of being re-elected as head of the European Commission? Žiga Faktor, deputy director of EUROPEUM Institute and head of its Brussels office, commented for ČTK.
