European Union

Uniting 27 disjointed countries, the European Union is the world’s only democratic experiment in both supranational and intergovernmental governance, transforming the geopolitical landscape of the twenty-first century. In trade deals, digital rules, energy strategy, defense policy, and transatlantic bonds, it has become a powerhouse in shaping global norms. As geopolitical rivalries intensify, CSIS examines the influence of each member, the United States, and adversaries on how the European Union seeks to reignite trust in the European project—at home and abroad.
