Phones, EVs, defence—critical raw materials power them all. Europe & U.S. still lean on China, leaving supply chains exposed.

549 days. That's how long it takes a new medicine to reach a patient in Croatia after EU approval, one of the slowest timelines in Europe.

Next Monday in Brussels, GLOBSEC convenes policymakers, dipomats and experts to unpack what that delay actually costs CEE governments.

NATO may adjust its nuclear posture as US conventional forces in Europe shrink. The real question isn't how many weapons, but where they'd go.

NATO might shift its nuclear posture: the real question is not how many weapons, but where they would go — as this debate is far from any decision.

Earlier this month, the Financial Times broke the news that, amid a significant drawdown of U.S. conventional forces in Europe, NATO is reportedly considering an adjustment to its nuclear deterrence posture.

The aim would be to reassure allies of Washington's commitment at a moment when American conventional forces on the continent could shrink substantially — perhaps within the next year and a half.

Such a move would carry implications not only for NATO's current deterrent policy, but also for the force generation needed to execute the regional defense plans the Alliance adopted in 2023, which remain the foundation of eastern-flank stability.

Three questions follow: why, where, and when.

Is Europe financing its defence the right way? Not yet. 🇪🇺

The EU-27 outspend Russia & China on defence — yet fragmented procurement means far less capability per euro.

The EU's new Cloud and AI Act isn't about banning US hyperscalers.
It's a four-tier sovereignty ladder, from data residency to full autonomy, that ties public contracts to where your workload sits.

Medicines used to be a health question. Now they're economic security. The real test is geopolitical: keep innovation and production at home, or end up a spectator between the US and China.

Europe is spending more on defence than at any time since the Cold War. But is it enough?

COVID. Ukraine. Now the Middle East.

Each crisis, Europe changes where it buys fossil fuels, not how much it depends on them.

The only durable exit is demand: heat pumps, EVs, efficiency.

At @GLOBSEC I interviewed Nickolay Mladenov, the diplomat leading the Board of Peace for Gaza.

He warned Israel that pushing Gazans into an area more than half the size of the Strip would lead to another October 7.
