Europe

Europe comprises leading Western powers, challenging transatlantic allies, and some of the world’s repressive regimes. The continent has undergone immense and unprecedented political unification with the formation of the European Union, yet it faces internal divisions, external pressures, and renewed great power rivalry which challenge the transatlantic community. CSIS analysis on Europe explores the region’s evolving role through the lens of multinational institutions, national politics, critical elections, and the future of the transatlantic alliance.
