Europe as a Place of Pluralism and Not Uniformity
2025

A great legacy of the European Council of Milan is the image of a Europe that does not need to be either unanimous or uniform in order to proceed toward its development, precisely insofar as one can trust one another. A commentary by Marta Cartabia

SAVE THE DATE - At the Table or on the Menu? Europe, Middle Powers and International Order
18/11/2026 - 18/11/2026
Bocconi University

The global order is fracturing under the pressure of great-power rivalry, war, economic coercion, technological dependence, energy insecurity and climate disruption. As the US-led rules-based order weakens, middle powers can either submit to a world of competing empires or work together to renew international law and multilateral cooperation. 

For Europe, this choice is existential: it can remain strategically dependent or act collectively to promote a more open, plural and non-imperial order based on autonomy, cooperation and mutual restraint. Achieving this goal requires more than rhetoric. Europe must strengthen its institutions, investments and innovative capacity across four critical domains: energy and climate, defence and security, trade and economic coercion, and technology and industrial policy. 

The IEP Annual Event will examine whether Europe can turn its vulnerabilities into resilience and strategic autonomy, helping middle powers move from fragmentation towards a renewed global order.
