Josep Borrell in conversation with José María Beneyto

The international chessboard is undergoing a moment of accelerated transformation. Relations between China, the United States and Europe are the focus of geostrategic tensions, technological disputes and fundamental questions about global leadership, multilateralism and the defence of democratic values. Understanding this new geopolitics is key to interpreting the challenges of the present and projecting possible futures.

This high-level dialogue will bring together two key figures in European political thought and action. Josep Borrell, former High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, will contribute his diplomatic experience from the epicentre of the continent's strategic decisions. He will be accompanied by José María Beneyto, professor, jurist and author of fundamental essays on Europe and the global order, whose intellectual vision will enrich the analysis of the current situation.

During the first half of the meeting, the two will discuss the balance of power between China, the United States and Europe, the role of the European Union in a more fragmented international scenario and the keys to a coherent and effective foreign policy. In the second half, students from IE University's European Union Club, Oleksandr Mysyk, Vanessa Chioaru and Catherine Del Rio will join the conversation in an intergenerational dialogue that will highlight the voice of young people and their role in building the Europe of the future.
