Abstract
Nuclear disarmament, arms control, and nonproliferation policies are increasingly affected by declining regional security, increasing militarization of U.S. foreign policy, and changes to the global normative nuclear order. In the coming years, Europe, and the European Union (EU), must take on additional responsibilities to mitigate these growing risks. In particular, EU member states should focus on preserving the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty as well as the Iran nuclear deal, finding a diplomatic solution to the conflict in Ukraine, and bridging the divide between the Ban Treaty advocates and the nuclear-weapons possessor.

- Europe on Iran: Gone with the WindCommentary
Europe’s reaction to the war in Iran has been disunited and meek, a far cry from its previously leading role in diplomacy with Tehran. To avoid being condemned to the sidelines while escalation continues, Brussels needs to stand up for international law.

France has stopped clinging to notions of being a great power and is embracing the middle power moment. But Emmanuel Macron has his work cut out if he is to secure his country’s global standing before his term in office ends.
