Transatlantic turbulence and European security – Effects of President Trump’s foreign policy agenda and Brexit

What does Brexit and President Donald Trump’s foreign policy mean for European security?

A few years ago, it was suggested that Europe’s political situation could best be characterized as “crisis upon decline”. Crisis in the form of several structural problems that lacked effective common solutions – migration management, debt levels within the Eurozone, and mounting Russian aggressiveness are telling examples – and decline in the sense of other actors and other regions catching up or even overtaking the privileged positions of western states in the world system. The state of “crisis upon decline” was suggested to have a negative impact on Europe’s geopolitical influence. Following is a collection of UI Briefs with a number of analysis:
