CSDP 4 - In the World's Forge - how the Clash of Powers Shapes Europe (and how we should deal with this)

In this fourth episode of the College Security and Defence Podcast series, Pol Koopman talks with researcher Pierre Haroche about his newest book: "Dans la forge du Monde - comment le choc des puissances façonne l'Europe". Europe has made quite a name for itself on the global stage. From the centuries of European empire and brutal colonialism, to the bipolar great power competition of the Cold War with Europe as the battleground, to our current time where Europe seems to have become a mere province of where real power lies. Is this actually a bad development? And how should Europeans deal with this unknown reality? You'll find out all about it - and more - in this episode.

In the College Security and Defence Podcast (CSDP) students Alexander Neuhalfen and Pol Koopman delve into the many subjects that buzz around in European diplomacy, security and defence. Through interviewing a wide array of guests they hope to make sense of these often complex topics, while at the same time providing something nice and entertaining to listen to. This podcast is a collaboration of the College of Europe students' Security and Defence Society and Young Diplomats Society.
