S2.1 The “fat chicken” problem: Europe in an age of power politics ft. Nathalie Tocci

In a year marked by escalating global crises, from Ukraine to Gaza, Iran to Greenland, where does Europe stand and is it still guided by the values it claims to uphold?Joining host Aoife White is Nathalie Tocci, Director of the Institute of International Affairs, who offers a candid assessment of the European Union’s role in a rapidly shifting geopolitical landscape.While Europe has shown unexpected unity in supporting Ukraine, deeper fractures are emerging when it comes to upholding international norms and responding consistently to global conflicts. Tocci argues that the EU may be facing a more profound challenge than policy failure: a crisis of identity. Has Europe moved beyond hypocrisy, not by living up to its values, but by abandoning them altogether? And if so, what does that mean for its credibility, its citizens, and its place in the world?
