Policy Brief: Tackling Impediments to Capital Markets Union in the EU While efforts to complete harmonization of capital market legislation in this domain should retain the highest priority in the new Commission’s work programme, there is room to advance integration by exploiting the Simple, Transparent, and Standardized (STS) regulation. A Policy Brief by Stefano Micossi, and Andrea Stringhetti Assessing the ECB’s Monetary Policy Stance by Comparing Tightening Cycles At the peak of the latest tightening cycle, the ECB monetary policy stance was no more restrictive than it was at the peak of the two preceding ones; actually, probably less. A paper by Ignazio Angeloni Who’s Afraid of ‘Tariff Man’? A second term for Donald Trump could structurally intensify the trend toward trade fragmentation, heightening tensions, particularly between the United States and China, the world’s two largest economies. A commentary by Carlo Altomonte, and Giorgio Presidente What Trump’s Re-Election Reveals about the Nature of the European Union The narrative of the EU as a peace project is that it allowed Europeans to reject military investments on the basis of the excuse that we were living in a post-war society. This is not true.

The available estimates, ranging from 20 to 100 billion, are not at all reliable. A Policy Brief by Carlo Cottarelli, and Lelouca Virgadamo Does the EU and its Member States try Harder than We Think? Cooperation between EU member states on issues of joint production and procurement is arguably less limited than IEP@BU Policy Brief by Cottarelli and Virgadamo suggests. A commentary by Stephanie C. Hofmann Why Need to Have a Clear Strategy When We Discuss Defense Expenditure Identifying the appropriate level of spending is difficult and there is not really any science about this. This is because different considerations play a role, including military strategy to political psychology. Andrea Gilli, and Mauro Gilli react to the recent IEP@BU Policy Brief Defense Expenditure in EU Countries The New Commission Needs a Strategy to Trump-Proof European Security If Trump is elected in November 2024, the security outlook of Europe could deteriorate very fast. It is therefore essential that the Commission and the forthcoming Defence Commissioner begin the policy planning and design well in advance. A commentary by Francesco Nicoli The Real Problem With the European Defense Industry The EU aerospace and defense companies invest in R&D as much as their US counterparts, with the primary difference being the size of the market, Daniel Gros, Philipp-Leo Mengel, Giorgio Presidente, and Jean Tirole argues Enrico Letta: Financing Europe's Leap Towards Defence Integration The European Union can only adequately tackle the intricate challenges of modernising its defence capabilities by exploring diverse financing mechanisms and integrating both public and private resources, Enrico Letta argues in his Much More than a Market report Time for a Real European Defense? Survey data suggest that recently announced EU Commission plans for a European Defence Strategy might lack ambition: western Europeans are unlikely to be enthused by half-backed compromises, Francesco Nicoli writes in a commentary A new website shows the roll-call votes in European Parliament by MEP, MEP, group, and country, going back to 2004.
