This episode of EuropeChats is a discussion between Marc De Vos, CEO of the Itinera Institute and author of “Superpower Europe: The European Union’s Silent Revolution”, and TEPSA Secretary-General Jim Cloos.
2025: soon as far from 2000 as from 2050! What are the inflection points and future questions on the road to 2050? Marc De Vos wrote his opinion on this in a short essay. Many questions that Itinera is deeply concerned with and on which it tries to exert impact on the possible answers.
‘We all know what we have to do, but we don’t know how to get re-elected once we’ve done it.’ Thus spoke Jean-Claude Juncker as then President of the Eurogroup back in 2007.
Watch the full movie of the event Europe: Superpower or Decline? with the lecture of Marc De Vos and the debate on the future of Europe.
