Europe at a Crossroads After the Shock
With 2020 coming to a close and the European approval for the Covid-19 vaccines, we are starting to see a dim light at the end of the tunnel. Although it may still seem distant, the European Union is looking to rebuild a decimated economy and reposition itself on the global stage. A two-day conference held this autumn, organized in collaboration with the Fondazione Corriere della Sera, brought together world-renowned experts to look at what possible futures exist for the EU and will a Biden presidency be able to rebuild much of what was lost under Trump in the way of trans-atlantic relations. Our latest e-book collects original pieces based on the conference proceedings and as well as exclusive interviews with Giuliano Amato, Enzo Amendola, and Paolo Gentiloni.
