Can Europe Act? Power and Sovereignty in a Fragmenting World

As geopolitical tensions rise and the global order becomes increasingly unstable, Europe faces a defining challenge: can it act strategically and assert its role on the world stage?

In this conversation, former German Chancellor Olaf Scholz reflects on Europe’s capacity to shape its own future – from security and economic resilience to political leadership in times of crisis. The event will be moderated by economic historian Adam Tooze from Columbia University.
