    Investing in a secure and competitive EU: A Conversation with EIB President Nadia Calviño

    The European Union is actively working to find its place in the ever changing geopolitical landscape. With the war in Ukraine, a growing China and an unpredictable Washington, the European Investment Bank is working overtime to fund defense and much more throughout the EU. We sat down with the President of the EIB, Nadia Calviño, to discuss the many facets of the EU's investment goals under the current geopolitical environment. From defense to securing supply chains, without forgetting about affordable housing, we analyzed what investments the EU needed to make to bolster its security and competitiveness.    The Europe Desk is a podcast from the BMW Center for German and European Studies at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

    EU Enlargement: Future Prospects and Current Challenges

    Brussels is pushing to begin formal membership talks with Ukraine and Moldova at the end of June as Hungary continues its oppostition; the newly passed "foreign agent law" in Georgia seems to be stalling the country's EU course. Enlargement has been at the top of the EU agenda since the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, but these developments seem to be complicating each member candidate's prospects for a smooth accession. We checked in with Nicholas Lokker, from the Center for a New American Security, to make sense of EU enlargement and the intervening variables in the process, such as Russia's continued aggression, China's Belt and Road Initiative, and European strategic autonomy.   The Europe Desk is a podcast from the BMW Center for German and European Studies at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C.

    Ukraine, Two Years On: Is the Tide Turning?

    The Russian invasion of Ukraine has passed its second year mark, and support from Kyiv is now facing multiple challenges, from a military aid package that is stalled in U.S. Congress, to rifts in the EU's "strategic ambiguity" strategy and shortages in ammunition production.
