reshape itself into a geopolitical force. European Commission
President, Ursula von der Leyen, has stated she wants to lead a
Geopolitical Commission with the European Green Deal as the
centrepiece of its strategy. Being the largest market in the world
with the second highest defence spending, and the worlds largest
development-assistance budget, the EU has significant transformative
potential. The EU, however, is limited by the fragmentation of the
European power both between and within EU institutions and member
states. The challenge of economic recovery from COVID-19 pandemic has
shown the need for greater solidarity among European leaders. At the
same time, the pandemic provides an opportunity for boosting European
integration internally and for implementing a new external
geopolitical vision. Partners: European Studies Association of
Australia and New Zealand (ESAANZ) * European Union Centre of
