Germany's new chancellor gets off to a bumpy start. Is Google helping Turkey to strangle independent media? And Malta is forced to abandon a lucrative business model. Then a VE Day Special: Nathalie Tocci on Europe, a look at Britain and France's “coalition of the willing”, and a very personal tour of synagogues in the Netherlands.

The Trump administration has upended the U.S. approach to the war in Ukraine, largely siding with Russia as it tries to broker an end to the fighting. With Washington no longer interested in acting as Ukraine's chief protector, the burden is shifting to Europe. But can it bear the load? To launch Season 2 of Counterpoint, we put that question to Nathalie Tocci and Stephen M. Walt. Tocci is the director of Italy's Istituto Affari Internazionali and has worked as an advisor to the government of Italy and to EU officials. She argues that Europe can fully replace the United States in supporting Ukraine. Walt, a professor of international affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School and longtime columnist at Foreign Policy, argues the other side of the case. Counterpoint is a production of Foreign Policy, in partnership with the Doha Forum. It is hosted by FP deputy editor Sasha Polakow-Suransky. Learn more about your ad choices.

French politician Marine Le Pen has been convicted of embezzlement, which means she now faces potentially years behind bars, a €100,000 fine and an immediate ban from running for public office. It's a shockwave for France, where Le Pen has run for the presidency in every election since 2012, with her support swelling in recent years. To unpack what this means, foreign policy advisor Nathalie Tocci and veteran French reporter Thierry Arnaud join the show.  Also on today's show: Dr. Sania Nishtar CEO, Gavi, The Vaccine Alliance; Tina Fordham, Co-founder & geopolitical strategist, Fordham Global Insight; author Edward Fishman, "Chokepoints"  Learn more about your ad choices.

The first episode in this new series of the BlomCast looks at a truly historic event: the end of the “West”. With the new US administration, the transatlantic alliance has practically collapsed leaving Europe exposed to a dictator on its eastern flank whose war has already cost some one million lives. Whither Europe? Will it become a collection of colonies and puppet states steered by hostile powers in a neo-imperial world? Or can European find the determination and energy to create a new alliance centred on a new kind of Europe? Nathalie Tocci is at the heart of the European project. She has advised on and written EU strategy, is director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali in Rome and has researched and written extensively, among others for the Guardian, the New York Times and Le Monde. In my conversation with Nathalie we try to understand whether the collapse of the West is analogous to that of the Soviet Union, how the global picture has shifted, and whether the values at the heart of the European project can be enough to motivate a real transformation.

Nathalie Tocci, Direttore dello IAI, è stata ospite a Spazio Transnazionale su Radio Radicale, il programma condotto da Francesco De Leo. Durante l'intervista, ha discusso delle sfide future per l'Europa, dell'evoluzione dell'Unione europea e della difesa europea, considerando il contesto della guerra in Ucraina e le dinamiche transatlantiche. Infine, Tocci ha commentato le dichiarazioni di Giorgia Meloni in merito al Manifesto di Ventotene e alla sua visione dell'Europa.

I know my question may seem too apocalyptic — or even crazy — but I had to ask: Is the EU's war with the US or Russia more likely? And as strange as it may sound, Nathalie Tocci provided a very interesting answer. So, welcome to my discussion with the Director of the Italian Istituto Affari Internazionali (Institute of International Affairs). We talked about Donald Trump's plan for negotiations with Russian leader Vladimir Putin on Ukraine, the role of Europeans in all of this, and what America means to the EU these days. An ally, friend, partner, rival? An adversary, even? Listen to our conversation. And if you enjoy what I do, please support me on Ko-fi! Thank you. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://ko-fi.com/amatisak

In this episode of International Horizons, RBI director John Torpey interviews Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs in Rome, about the implications of Donald Trump's second administration for Europe. The discussion explores how Trump's approach to foreign policy—characterized by protectionism, nationalism, and disdain for multilateralism—affects European politics, particularly in relation to NATO, trade, and the far-right's growing influence. Prof. Tocci highlights how Trump's return emboldens nationalist movements across the continent, especially in countries like Italy, where leaders such as Giorgia Meloni now feel freer to express their ideological stances. The conversation also examines the evolving European response to Trump, from initial panic to a mix of wishful thinking and cautious strategizing, particularly regarding the future of NATO and the war in Ukraine.

In questo podcast vi proponiamo l'intervento di Nathalie Tocci, Direttore dello IAI alla trasmissione di Radio Radicale “Spazio Transnazionale”, curata e condotta da Francesco De Leo. Nel presentare il suo libro "La grande incertezza", edito da Mondadori, Tocci sottolinea l'importanza della cooperazione internazionale e del multilateralismo per far fronte alle sfide transnazionali del presente.

L‘epoca delle grandi aperture, della globalizzazione, dell’integrazione e del multilateralismo è ormai finita e difficilmente potrà tornare, dato che era legata indissolubilmente alla superpotenza americana - spiega Nathalie Tocci, direttore dell'Istituto Affari Internazionali e autrice del libro “La grande incertezza. Navigare le contraddizioni del disordine globale” (Mondadori, 192 p., € 18,00). Viviamo in un mondo contradditorio in cui apertura e chiusura coesistono, dove la linea di demarcazione tra democrazia e autoritarismo non è così netta. Non siamo stati capaci di approfittare della svolta epocale rappresentata dalla caduta del comunismo: abbiamo abbassato la guardia, non siamo stati in grado di gestire la crisi migratoria e abbiamo sottovalutato le difficoltà della transizione ecologica - conclude la Tocci.RECENSIONI“I 47 confini che dividono il mondo” di John Elledge(Garzanti, 408 p., € 22,00)“Qui non è Nuova York. 130 giorni nell’America profonda” di Glauco Maggi e Maria Teresa Cometto(Neri Pozza, 122 p., € 20,00)“La maledizione di Peter Rugg” di William Austyn(Mattioli 1885, 76 p., € 10,00)“La vita secondo me” di Richard Russo(Neri Pozza, 720 p., € 24,00)“Divisi.

In this conversation at the Review of Democracy, Nathalie Tocci – Director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali and part-time professor at the School of Transnational Governance, European University Institute – discusses the direction the EU has taken in recent years in the light of its global strategy and how far it has managed to become strategically autonomous; reflects on what principled pragmatism implies in the context of the rise of illiberalism; and considers what could change during the second European Commission headed by Ursula von der Leyen – and whether the EU's centre of gravity might be shifting.

Las próximas elecciones europeas de junio están en el centro del debate político y la atención pública. La peculiaridad de las diversas fechas de votación en los países europeos ha avivado la discusión sobre si estas elecciones representan genuinamente un proceso a nivel europeo o simplemente la suma de 27 elecciones nacionales individuales. El formato de los Spitzenkandidaten añade una capa adicional a este debate, planteando interrogantes sobre la efectividad de presentar un candidato transnacional como líder de cada familia política del Parlamento Europeo, quien luego dirigirá la Comisión Europea durante cinco años. Sin embargo, las críticas sobre la transparencia y democracia del proceso electoral están en primer plano. En este episodio de Conversaciones Elcano, Judith Arnal y Miguel Otero hablan de las próximas elecciones y el futuro de la Unión Europea, con Nathalie Tocci, actual directora del Instituto de Affari Internazionali, en Roma, ex asesora de Federica Mogherini en su mandato como Alta Representante para la política exterior de la Unión Europea, y también miembro del Consejo Científico de nuestro propio Instituto.      _____________________________________________ Visita nuestra web: www.realinstitutoelcano.org Síguenos en nuestras redes sociales: X: https://twitter.com/rielcano LinkedIn: https://es.linkedin.com/company/real-instituto-elcano Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RealInstitutoElcano Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rielcano/ Threads: https://threads.net/@rielcano       YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RealInstitutoElcano/

"La Conferenza di Sicurezza di Monaco del 2024 è iniziata con toni molto cupi, con la notizia dell'assassionio nel carcere in Siberia del leader dell'opposizione russa Aleksej Naval'ny", racconta Nathalie Tocci, Direttore dello IAI. "Dietro tutto questo c'è lo sfondo della guerra in Ucraina, con le sue centinaia di migliaia di morti; c'è la guerra in Medio Oriente, sono quasi 30 mila i civili palestinesi uccisi da Israele e ancora oltre 130 gli ostaggi ancora nelle mani di Hamas; poi c'è uno sfondo più ampio in cui, se vogliamo citare solamente un numero, sono oltre 800 milioni le persone che ogni notte vanno a dormire con fame", continua Tocci. "Tutto questo a causa di guerre, repressioni e cambiamenti climatici. Quindi è stata una Conferenza che aveva come sfondo questo scenario cupo. E devo dire, non è stata, in realtà, una conferenza che ha rassicurato molto".

Questa serie di podcast guarda alle opportunità e alle sfide per la cooperazione tra Germania e Italia, entrambi impegnati a decarbonizzare i propri sistemi energetici e a garantire al contempo la sicurezza dell'approvvigionamento. La serie fa parte del progetto An Italian-German Dialogue on Energy Security and Transition amid Russia's War on Ukraine, che lo IAI cura con il sostegno del Ministero degli Esteri tedesco. In questa puntata, il ricercatore dello IAI Max Münchmeyer parla con S.E. Hans-Dieter Lucas, Ambasciatore della Repubblica Federale di Germania in Italia, e con Nathalie Tocci, Direttrice dello IAI. La conversazione verte sulle strategie politiche e finanziarie dell'Italia e della Germania per la transizione energetica, e di come queste si inseriscono nel più ampio quadro del Green Deal europeo.

Incontro con Nathalie Tocci. Intervista di Elisabetta Pozzetto La crisi energetica e quella climatica. L'Europa e l'Italia sembrano sempre più schiacciate tra l'urgenza della prima e la visione della seconda. L'invasione dell'Ucraina ci riporta all'impellenza della questione della sicurezza energetica, con il rischio di accantonare la transizione ecologica, pilastro cardine del Green deal europeo. Dobbiamo quindi mettere da parte la transizione per la sicurezza? Secondo Nathalie Tocci, riconciliando sicurezza e transizione energetica, l'Unione europea può rilanciare il processo di integrazione dopo quasi vent'anni di stagnazione.

One month on from Hamas's attack on Israel killing 1400, Israeli forces have killed more than 10000 Palestinians in Gaza. The head of our Brussels office, Camino Mortera-Martinez asks Nathalie Tocci, director of the Institute of International Affairs in Rome, and senior research fellow Luigi Scazzieri what Europe's role is in this latest iteration of a decades long conflict, and where it should be.

Per commentare l'attacco di Hamas a Israele si è parlato molto di ‘effetto sorpresa'. Nel suo podcast, Nathalie Tocci, direttrice dell'Istituto Affari Internazionali, si sofferma su cosa non sorprenda, oltre la cronaca: “Ci si era illusi che il conflitto israelo-palestinese non era risolto ma che forse, tutto sommato, non richiedeva una risoluzione, alla luce della forza schiacciante israeliana e la normalizzazione tra Israele e il mondo arabo.” L'attacco di Hamas, “ci riporta alla realtà: questo è un conflitto che deve essere affrontato”.

In questo podcast, vi proponiamo l'intervento di Nathalie Tocci a RadioRadicale, nel corso della puntata speciale di “Spazio Transnazionale” del 23 luglio 2023, condotto da Francesco De Leo sulle elezioni in Spagna. Per il direttore dello Iai, “nessuno spostamento a destra” nel barometro dell'opinione pubblica spagnola ed europea. Per le elezioni europee “la realtà è più complessa” di un semplice ritorno della destra su scala continentale.

Rassegna stampa del 26.06.23 | La Russia di Putin vive una stagione tremendamente complessa che può portare ad un collasso delle sue istituzioni. Le ragioni sono antiche e riguardano la forma di gestione del potere simile ad un “mafia-state”. Quest'oggi grazie agli articoli di Vittorio Emanuele Parsi e di Nathalie Tocci cercheremo di capire e conoscere i punti di approdo di una crisi che potrebbe cambiare il volto dell'est.

It's easy to feel doomed when it comes to climate change. In her latest book, the Italian political scientist Nathalie Tocci makes the case for cautious optimism about Europe's climate and energy policies. We chat to her this week about the opportunities and challenges of the European Green Deal, as well as how to interpret the death last week of Silvio Berlusconi.

In questo podcast, Nathalie Tocci analizza la difficile posizione economica della Tunisia e la preoccupazione del governo italiano sull'aumento della migrazione irregolare proveniente da Tunisi: “È una relazione di forza opposta a quella che si immagina. Proprio perché Saied percepisce la vulnerabilità di Roma, manipola perché si faccia portavoce delle sue istanze”.

In this episode, Director of Rome's Institute for International Affairs and 22/23 Europe's Futures Fellow of IWM and ERSTE Foundation Nathalie Tocci joins Ivan Vejvoda to offer her assessment of the European response to the full-scale Russian Invasion of Ukraine. From the often surprising unity and speed with which the EU has adapted to economic, energy and geopolitical challenges to the more fraught issues of security and defence where a clear European purpose has been less in evidence, Nathalie and Ivan discuss the strengths and shortcomings that have been revealed by the war. Looking to the future, they also address the shifting power centres within the EU, the interaction of continent-wide forces with local concerns and the consequences of the war for the psychology of enlargement policy and other EU wide concerns.Nathalie Tocci is a researcher and advisor in the field of international relations and European affairs.

All'inizio dell'invasione russa in Ucraina era sembrato che l'Europa non avrebbe retto all'impatto della guerra. Che ci saremmo trovati schiacciati tra l'ex superpotenza russa da un lato e la superpotenza americana dall'altro: che saremmo rimasti deboli, sempre un po' litigiosi, sempre un po' divisi. Ma le cose sono andate diversamente. L'Europa ha retto l'impatto del ritorno della guerra molto meglio del previsto.In questa puntata speciale di Globo registrata live a Voices facciamo un bilancio con Nathalie Tocci, direttrice dell'Istituto Affari Internazionali, uno dei più importanti centri studi italiani.I CONSIGLI DI NATHALIE TOCCI– “L'ottava vita (per Brilka)” di Nino Haratischwili – “Nella testa di Vladimir Putin” di Michel Eltchaninoff – “Terre di sangue” di Timothy Snyder EUROPA E UCRAINA SUL POST– L'autonomia strategica europea, spiegata – La Commissione Europea vuole produrre più munizioni – Annalena Baerbock non le manda a dire Learn more about your ad choices.

The success of Giorgia Meloni's Brothers of Italy in the recent Italian general election has sent shudders around Europe. With Meloni set to form a coalition of right-wingers and Eurosceptics, her foreign policy agenda could call into question the very foundations of the European project. Alongside Poland and Hungary, Italy could join calls for greater national sovereignty, aiming to shift the balance of power away from Brussels technocracy. In this week's episode, Mark Leonard is joined by ECFR council members Nathalie Tocci, who is the director of Italy's Istituto Affari Internazionali, and Marta Dassu, senior advisor for Europe at the Aspen Institute, as well as Arturo Varvelli, head of ECFR´s Rome Office and senior policy fellow. They discuss the implications of the new government in Rome and whether it does indeed point to a shift to the right. What will be the new government's stance be on Russia and its war in Ukraine? And how could constraints such as debt and the coherence of the coalition challenge Meloni's government? This podcast was recorded on 27 September 2022.

This past weekend, voters in Italy went to the polls for national parliamentary elections. As expected, the elections resulted in a victory for the alliance led by Giorgia Meloni's far-right Brothers of Italy party, which received enough votes to govern without support from the center-left. How significant of a change does this result represent for Italy, and how worried should we be about its implications for Europe and the transatlantic community? Nathalie Tocci and Cecilia Sottilotta join Andrea Kendall-Taylor and Jim Townsend to move beyond the headlines and assess what Meloni's victory means for Italian and European politics.

The Brothers of Italy party, which won the most votes in Italy's national election, has its roots in the post-World War II neo-fascist Italian Social Movement. Keeping the movement's most potent symbol, the tricolour flame, Giorgia Meloni has taken Brothers of Italy from a fringe far-right group to Italy's biggest party. A century after Benito Mussolini's 1922 March on Rome, which brought the fascist dictator to power, Meloni is poised to lead Italy's first far-right-led government since World War II and Italy's first woman premier. How did post-facism begin in Italy? The Italian Social Movement, or MSI, was founded in 1946 by Giorgio Almirante, chief of staff in Mussolini's last government. It drew fascist sympathisers and officials into its ranks following Italy's role in the war when it was allied with the Nazis and then liberated by the Allies. Throughout the 1950-1980s, the MSI remained a small right-wing party, polling in the single digits. But historian Paul Ginsborg has noted that its mere survival in the decades after the war "served as a constant reminder of the potent appeal that authoritarianism and nationalism could still exercise among the southern students, urban poor and lower middle classes". The 1990s brought about a change under Gianfranco Fini, Almirante's protege who nevertheless projected a new moderate face of the Italian right. When Fini ran for Rome mayor in 1993, he won a surprising 46.9 per cent of the vote - not enough to win but enough to establish him as a player. Within a year, Fini had renamed the MSI the National Alliance. It was in those years that a young Meloni, who was raised by a single mother in a Rome working-class neighbourhood, first joined the MSI's youth branch and then went on to lead the youth branch of Fini's National Alliance. Does that mean Meloni is a neo-facist? Fini was dogged by the movement's neo-fascist roots and his assessment that Mussolini was the 20th century's "greatest statesman". He disavowed that statement, and in 2003 visited the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Israel. There, he described Italy's racial laws, which restricted Jews' rights, as part of the "absolute evil" of the war. Meloni, too, had praised Mussolini in her youth but visited Yad Vashem in 2009 when she was a minister in Silvio Berlusconi's last government. Writing in her 2021 memoir I Am Giorgia, she described the experience as evidence of how "a genocide happens step by step, a little at a time". During the campaign, Meloni was forced to confront the issue head-on, after the Democrats warned that she represented a danger to democracy. "The Italian right has handed fascism over to history for decades now, unambiguously condemning the suppression of democracy and the ignominious anti-Jewish laws," she said in a campaign video. How did the Brothers of Italy emerge? Meloni, who proudly touts her roots as an MSI militant, has said the first spark of creating the Brothers of Italy came after Berlusconi resigned as premier in 2011, forced out by a financial crisis over Italy's soaring debt and his own legal problems. Meloni refused to support Mario Monti, who was tapped by Italy's president to try to form a technocratic government to reassure international financial markets. Meloni couldn't stand what she believed was external pressure from European capitals to dictate internal Italian politics. Meloni co-founded the party in 2012, naming it after the first words of the Italian national anthem. "A new party for an old tradition," Meloni wrote. Brothers of Italy would only take in single-digit results in its first decade. The European Parliament election in 2019 brought Brothers of Italy 6.4 per cent - a figure that Meloni says "changed everything". As the leader of the only party in opposition during Mario Draghi's 2021-2022 national unity government, her popularity soared, with Sunday's election netting it 26 per cent. But what about the party's logo? The party has at the centre of its logo the red, white and green flame of the original MSI that remained when the movement became the National Alliance. While less obvious than the bundle of sticks, or fasces, that was the prominent symbol of Mussolini's National Fascist Party, the tricolour flame is nevertheless a powerful image that ties the current party to its past. "Political logos are a form of branding, no different than those aimed at consumers," said Rutgers University professor T Corey Brennan, who recently wrote Fasces: A History of Rome's Most Dangerous Political Symbol. He recalled that when Almirante made his final MSI campaign pitch to voters in the 1948 election at Rome's Spanish Steps, he put the party's flame symbol on top of the obelisk and illuminated it with floodlights. "You can make whatever you want out of a flame, but everybody understood that Almirante was making a deep emotional appeal to keep the spirit of fascism alive," he said. How do Italians feel about it? In general, the party's neo-fascist roots appear to be of more concern abroad than at home. Some historians explain that by noting certain historical amnesia here and Italians' general comfort living with the relics of fascism as evidence that Italy never really repudiated the Fascist Party and Mussolini in the same way Germany repudiated National Socialism and Hitler. While Germany went through a long and painful process of reckoning with its past, Italians have in many ways simply turned willful blindness to their own. Historian David Kertzer of Brown University notes that there are 67 institutes for studying the Resistance to Fascism in Italy, and virtually no centre for studying Italian Fascism. In addition, Mussolini-era architecture and monuments are everywhere: from the EUR neighbourhood in southern Rome to the Olympic training centre on the Tiber River, with its obelisk still bearing Mussolini's name. The Italian Constitution bars the reconstitution of the Fascist party, but far-right groups still display the fascist salute and there continues to be an acceptance of fascist symbols, said Brennan. "You don't have to look very hard for signs," Brennan said in a phone interview. "Fully a quarter of all manhole covers in Rome still have the fasces on them." Does that mean Italians support facism? If history is any guide, one constant in recent political elections is that Italians vote for change, with a desire for something new seemingly overtaking traditional political ideology in big pendulum shifts, said Nathalie Tocci, director of the Rome-based Institute of International Affairs. Tocci said the Brothers of Italy's popularity in 2022 was evidence of this "violent" swing that is more about Italian dissatisfaction than any surge in neo-fascist or far-right sentiment. "I would say the main reason why a big chunk of that - let's say 25-30 per cent - will vote for this party is simply that it's the new kid on the block," she said. Meloni still speaks reverently about the MSI and Almirante, even if her rhetoric can change to suit her audience. This summer, speaking in perfect Spanish, she thundered at a rally of Spain's hard-right Vox party: "Yes to the natural family. No to the LGBT lobby. Yes to sexual identity. No to gender ideology." Back home on the campaign trail, she projected a much more moderate tone and appealed for unity in her victory speech Monday. "Italy chose us," she said. "We will not betray it, as we never have." - Nicole Winfield, APSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Polls suggest that the largest single party will be the Brothers of Italy - and its leader Giorgia Meloni will therefore be prime minister. That's causing consternation in some quarters because the party has roots in the fascist-influenced politics of post-war Italy.
