• 11 October 2024 Jean Monnet Chair Elisabeth Johansson-Nogués participates in a podcast episode with the EU-VALUES Network

The podcast features a reflection on EU values in part based on Elisabeth’ recent article, co-authored with Francesca Leso, titled “Geopolitical EU? The EU’s Wartime Assistance to Ukraine”. The discussion is centered around how the EU’s leadership views the war as not only a military conflict but a symbolic struggle for democratic values and human rights. The EU’s support for Ukraine represents a commitment to principles like sovereignty and the rule of law, which are increasingly under threat by authoritarian regimes worldwide. Listen in to hear more on the implications of this conflict for the EU’s global standing as a foreign and security actor, and how the war represents an indication that broader shifts in international relations and global values might coem to pass.
