War in European soil is the latest test on EU resilience. After living in a polycrisis for the last couple of decades, the European Union is facing one a tough trial, one that is pushing it out of its “soft power” approach to international relations. How will the EU handle a return to War in Europe? And how does inequality manifest in this context? Marta Matrakova, research coordinator at the Institut d’études européennes (IEE) of the ULB and Frederik Ponjaert, senior researcher, discuss on “Making Sense of EU”, how inequality, both at the EU level and in the rest of the world, interact. On this episode, we welcome guest questions from two IEE-ULB students, Jeanne Fabreguettes and Martina Rubino, and we try to make sense of what’s next for EU integration as enlargement comes back to the table.---------------------------------- "Making sense of EU" is a podcast created and produced by the Institut d’études européennes (IEE) of the Université libre de Bruxelles, in which scientific research sheds light on the pressing issues of EU affairs.
