Is the EU ready for geopolitical enlargement? | InvigoratEU Talks #01

In the first episode of InvigoratEU Talks, we turn to the enlargement policy toolbox. What does geopolitical enlargement actually mean in practice? And can the current enlargement methodology still deliver in a context shaped by war, security pressures, and renewed competition among great powers? InvigoratEU Talks is a podcast series born from the Horizon Europe-funded project, InvigoratEU, bringing together leading scholars and policy-makers from across Europe to do exactly what the name suggests: re-invigorate EU enlargement and neighbourhood policy in a changing world.   Host: Mariam Khotenashvili, Executive Director, TEPSA Guests: Vsevolod Chentsov, Ambassador of Ukraine to the EU, Funda Tekin, Director, Institut für Europäische Politik (IEP) & Academic Coordinator of InvigoratEU Frank Schimmelfennig, Professor, ETH Zurich Music: Luka Margiani Editing: Barbara Vanotti This episode is funded by the European Union as part of the Horizon Europe-funded InvigoratEU project.
