The Scramble for Europe, The End of Illusions , Green Deal Failures & New Realities
Episode details
Episode description
Europe wanted climate leadership, economic strength, and moral authority. Instead, it got industrial decline, energy vulnerability, and geopolitical weakness. In this episode of Dranaissance, Marc De Vos (Co-CEO of the Itinera Institute and Professor of Law at Ghent University) delivers a clear-eyed analysis of Europe’s current crossroads. From the structural failures of the Green Deal to the Draghi Report’s sobering diagnosis, this conversation cuts through the rhetoric to examine where Europe stands today and whether it still has the will and capacity to compete. We discuss the urgent need for stronger European governance, more effective decision-making, and the harsh realities of the “Scramble for Europe” in an era of raw power politics and intensifying global competition. We explore: - The Draghi Report: key warnings and where Europe stands now - Why the Green Deal became an industrial liability - The urgent need for new European governance and real decision power - The “Scramble for Europe”; raw geopolitics, trade wars, and external competition - Strategic autonomy vs. growing dependencies - Economic defense and what a genuine industrial revival requires - Climate Realism and the hard choices for a competitive Europe Follow Marc De Vos Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/marc-de-vos-705141176/ X - https://x.com/devosmarc Website - https://www.marcdevos.eu/ You can purchase Marc's book, ‘Superpower Europe’, here: https://ertsberg.be/boek/grootmacht-europa/ Sponsors: DraghiAI - https://draghi.ai/
