Arancha González Laya, Catherine de Vries and Frederick Studemann in conversation
FT Weekend Debate: How Europe Survives: Narrative, Power, Resilience in a Fragmented World
–
IE University. Aula Magna
As geopolitical tensions rise, global institutions weaken and the international order becomes increasingly fragmented, Europe faces a defining question: can it remain united, prosperous and influential in a rapidly changing world?
In this timely conversation, Frederick Studemann, Literary Editor of the Financial Times, brings together two leading European voices to reflect on the challenges and opportunities facing the continent today. Former Spanish Minister of Foreign Affairs Arancha González Laya, author of Solos en el Mundo: Estados Unidos amenaza, Rusia hace la guerra, China reconstruye un imperio... ¿Y Europa? examines how growing geopolitical rivalry and the erosion of international cooperation are reshaping the global landscape. Catherine de Vries, Vice Dean of IE School of Politics, Economics and Global Affairs and author of the forthcoming How Europe Survives, explores the remarkable adaptability and resilience that have enabled Europe to navigate successive crises.
A thought-provoking conversation about the future of Europe, the changing global order and the ideas that will shape the decades ahead.

José María de Areilza and Fidel Sendagorta in conversation
Europe in the labyrinth of geopolitics
–
Torreón de Lozoya (entrada por la calle Grabador Espinoza)
The Russian invasion of Ukraine and Donald Trump’s second term in office have brought an end to a long era in international relations. Europeans need to wake up and adapt to a different, far more adverse reality. The goal of global prosperity, central during the 30 years following the fall of the Berlin Wall, has given way to the imperative of security, understood in national terms and as an expansive concept.
Two leading analysts with first-hand experience of the international relations landscape, José María de Areilza and Fidel Sendagorta, will discuss Europe’s place in a world of rivalries for which it is unprepared, and the steps it must take to achieve strategic autonomy, strengthen alliances and defend its interests and values.
At the end of the event, the author will be signing copies of their books
