POLICY PAPER | QMV in CFSP: Impending necessity or resurfacing utopia?
Miroslava Pisklová writes about a discussion on potential broadening of the qualified majority voting (QMV) system to more of the remaining policy areas in the Council of the EU in which it is not yet used, namely the EU´s Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) that has recently gained momentum. This publication aims to analyse the advantages and disadvantages of introduction of the QMV in CFSP of the EU with a focus on the potential impact on smaller member states.

Blog | "Business-as-usual" mezi Německem a Čínou narušuje soudržnost Evropské unie
Válka na Ukrajině a následná ekonomická krize, způsobená závislostí Evropy na ruských fosilních palivech, ukázala Evropanům, jaká nebezpečí skýtají příliš úzké ekonomické vazby na autokratických režimech. Zatímco se však Evropa zbavuje své závislosti na Rusku, jiná ekonomická závislost sílí, konkrétně ta Německa na Číně. Naše stážistka Kristina Kropáčková se ve svém blogu zabývá širšími souvislostmi tohoto fenoménu a jeho důsledky pro soudržnost EU.

What are the causes of the contradictions? Are they more personal or political? What impact could it have if Paris and Berlin fail to agree on their position on China? Our senior research fellow Vít Havelka commented on the situation between the countries in the programme Odpolední Plus for Czech Radio Plus.
