One thing is certain: it is our huge gratitude to all our readers for your contributions in print and across social media and for supporting and engaging with us in such an inspiring way. We wish you all very peaceful holidays and a great start to 2015. We resume our Strategic Europe blog on January 5, 2015.

    France, Turkey, and a Reset in the Black Sea

    A renewal of relations between France and Turkey is vital to strengthen European strategic autonomy. To make this détente a reality, Paris and Ankara should move beyond personal friction and jointly engage with questions of Black Sea security.
