The EU, writes Loukas Tsoukalis, is “a strange vehicle … unlike any others on the roads of the world, surely not a flashy vehicle – rather slow and not easy to drive. However, it has been able to accommodate ever-increasing numbers of passengers and covered a remarkably long distance – often in adverse conditions and with accidents on the way”. However, while the union has shown itself to be resilient, the new economic, societal and geopolitical challenges it faces mean it has to be much more than that. It has to project as well as protect. It has to grow up. In Europe's Coming of Age (Polity, 2022), Tsoukalis explains why and how. Born in Athens, Loukas Tsoukalis studied economics and international relations in Manchester, Bruges, and Oxford where he also taught for many years, followed by chairs at the University of Athens and the London School of Economics, and visiting professorships at Harvard and the College of Europe. Today, he is a professor at Sciences Po in Paris. This is the latest of his many books on the EU including The Politics and Economics of European Monetary Integration, What Kind of Europe? and In Defence of Europe: Can the European Project Be Saved? *The authors' own book recommendations are: The Globalization Paradox: Why Global Markets, States, and Democracy Can't Coexist by Dani Rodrik (Oxford University Press, 2012), and Capitalism, Alone: The Future of the System That Rules the World by Branko Milanovic (Belknap Press, 2019).

The coronavirus crisis brought about financial hardship for the European Union, and many agree that a recovery fund would be needed to overcome it. In the beginning, countries like Italy and Spain, in particular, felt left alone in dealing with this health, social and economic crisis. And still, support for financial burden-sharing is low in the “frugal” countries which would be the net contributors to such a recovery fund. But does this mean, there a general lack of solidarity in Europe? Can solidarity go in line with member states’ self-interest? In this week’s podcast Mark Leonard is joined by ECFR’s heads of offices Jana Puglierin (Berlin), Arturo Varvelli (Rome) and José Ignacio Torreblanca (Madrid) to discuss how solidarity is perceived across Europe and what ECFR’s Solidarity Tracker can teach us about pan-European solidarity during the covid-19 crisis.

After episodes about the Hong Kong protests, Chinese authoritarianism, and the Israel/Palestine conflict, we turn our attention to Europe and the United Kingdom's departure from the European Union.Other than the word, spork, Brexit might be the world's current favorite portmanteau*, or combination of two words to make a new word. When the British-Exit, or Brexit, from the EU became a possibility, the messy divisiveness of how to accomplish the exit became evident. We discuss the parliamentary vote this week that gave Boris Johnson and the conservative party control in the UK. Their platform was, "GET BREXIT DONE" so that will be happening sooner rather than later. What does this mean for Ireland and Scotland? What does it mean for Europe? Can the UK stay together? England hasn't been this divided in hundreds of years. All will be discussed. To prepare for this episode, we began by learning as much vocabulary around the issue as possible. We read several articles about the past and present and looked closely at the upcoming parliamentary elections which happened to be December 12, one day before our recording/editing date. We prepared for several different outcomes depending on who won. We watched documentaries, made spidea webs, studied maps, used the question formulation technique and countless sticky notes to organize our thinking and learning. We hope that you find this episode clear, concise, and informative. We worked to stay objective, fair, but also insightful about the implications and their causes. We hope you enjoy this episode. *Other popular Portmanteaus:podcast = iPod + broadcastemail = electronic + mailsmog = smoke and fogsitcom = situational + comedyclasp = clutch + graspsplatter = splash + spattersnark = snide + remarktaxicab = taximeter (tax) + cabriolet (carriage)electrocute = electric + executebiopic = biography + pictureavionics = aviation + electronicsVelcro = velvet + crochet (small hook in french)breathalyzer = breath + analyzerfrankenfood = frankenstein + foodbromance = brother + romanceshopaholic = shop + alcoholicromcom = romance + comedybrunch = breakfast + lunchspork = spoon + forkemoticon = emotions + iconsalphanumeric = alphabetic + numbericfavicon = favorite + iconphablet = phone + tabletnetizen = Internet + citizenfreeware = free + softwaremalware = malicious + softwarewebisode = web + episodeWifi = wireless + fidelitymobisode = mobile + episodewebinar = web + seminarnetiquette = Internet + etiquettewikipedia = wiki + encyclopediaYelp = Yellow pages + helpfrenemy = friend + enemyginormous = gigantic + enormouschillax = chill + relaxbollywood = bombay + hollywoodmockumentary = mock + documentarymetrosexual = metropolitan + heterosexualcyborg = cybernetic + organismSpam = spiced + hamroyalty-free music by bensound.com

More than one hundred forty nations around the world have their own competition laws addressing how multinationals may compete in their borders.  No two are the same. Knowing that, is it realistic to expect multinational companies to understand how policies and economics operate in countries around the world? How can multinationals doing business without borders compete abroad without fear of running into competition violations? In this episode, we’re focusing specifically on Europe and how companies can compete on that continent. My guest on the show is Isabelle Rahman, a partner in the Antitrust and Competition Practice Group in the firm’s Brussels office. Isabelle has substantial experience in the application of the EU competition rules and represents clients active in the airline, chemical, consumer products, food, life sciences/pharma, fashion, entertainment and media industries, among others. What We Discuss in This Episode:   Which companies received the largest fines for violations of European competition laws? Is Commissioner Vestager on a crusade against U.S. technology companies doing business in Europe? Are the amounts of the fines levied against some U.S. tech companies in Europe appropriate? What are the different social underpinnings to the respective competition policies in the U.S. vs. Europe? Can your competitor file a complaint with the European Commission against your company? Why Europe consistently looks to protect against harm to the consumer Could a lack of similarly powerful and situated companies in Europe be one reason why the European Commission seemingly takes stricter measures against U.S. companies? What percentage of U.S. multinational companies’ revenues come from overseas? How has the Trump administration affected U.S. relations with Europe? How should companies with higher market shares in Europe conduct themselves in order to avoid violations?

When asked about the US strategy in the War on Drugs, American drug czar Gil Kerlikowske said “In the grand scheme, it has not been successful,” and "forty years later, the concern about drugs and drug problems is, if anything, magnified, intensified.” In 2011 the Global Commission on Drugs issued its top recommendation: reclassify drug use as a public health issue instead of a criminal issue. In 2013 President Obama announced a plan to expand drug education efforts, increase access to treatment for drug users and restructure the use of mandatory minimum sentences for drug offences. Some European countries have already begun to implement these policies with interesting results. What do Obama’s new initiatives mean for the country? What does it mean to reclassify drug use as a public health issue? What lessons can be learned from Europe? Can the United States effectively reduce the harmful effects of drugs at home and abroad while also reducing the enormous fiscal burden of the War on Drugs? Confirmed Speakers Beau Kilmer, Co-Director, RAND Drug Policy Research Center; Senior Policy Researcher, RAND Corporation; Professor, Pardee RAND Graduate School Ethan Nadelmann, Founder & Executive Director, Drug Policy Alliance Robert MacCoun*, Professor of Public Policy, Goldman School of Public Policy; Professor of Law, School of Law, University of California Berkeley
