Shifting Boundaries of
the EU’s Foreign and Security Policy
https://www.swp-berlin.org//en/publication/shifting-boundaries-of-the-eus-foreign-and-security-policy/
A Challenge to the Rule of Law
Europe’s foreign and security policy needs to
become more effective.
To this end, the executive autonomy of European
governments should be maximised, and
legal constraints from EU law minimised – this view is
only seemingly plausible. Only an EU foreign and
security policy anchored
in the rule of law based on the EU treaties is
realistic and sustainable.

What's Next: Iran's Oil
Field Attacks
The recent drone strikes on Saudi
oil facilities have escalated tensions between Saudi Arabia and Iran, and
have fueled speculation of how the U.S. will respond to the flagrant
attack on an important ally. In the coming days, Secretary of State
Mike Pompeo will sit down with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman,
while Iranian President Hassan Rouhani plans to attend the United
Nations General Assembly in New York—leaving open a broad range of
possible responses and repercussions.
For
those wondering "what's next?" Hudson Institute's experts frame the
challenges ahead for the U.S., Saudi Arabia, and Iran.
