“The international system has become turbulent and unpredictable, presenting major challenges for the European Union. Yet the EU is not just adapting to the new volatile environment but is also actively shaping the world around it. Through its multidisciplinary approach and insightful analyses, The EU Charting its Course in a Geopolitical World is essential reading for scholars and policymakers interested in how the EU is navigating the geopolitical shift.” —Tapio Raunio, Professor of Political Science, Tampere University, Finland This open access and the ninth edition of Interdisciplinary European Studies, The EU Charting its Course in a Geopolitical World, explores whether the EU’s evolving policy framework and expanded powers are adequate to respond to an increasingly volatile international landscape. This open access delves into the EU’s responses across key domains—trade, strategic investments, military rearmament, public health, and corporate sustainability. Drawing on expertise from economics, law, and political science, the volume offers a multidisciplinary perspective on the EU’s emerging trade toolbox, its role as a market power, the shift to a green the economy for business and households, and its push for deeper cooperation in the area of industrial military production. Each chapter is grounded in current research and provides concise analyses of the current state of affairs and contemporary debates. Concluding with a set of policy recommendations, the volume serves as a valuable resource for European and national policymakers.
