The aftermath of the Ceuta crisis shows Europe has drawn the wrong lessons. Rather than doubling down on failed migration policies, the EU needs to address the underlying roots of such episodes.

On July 15, 2016, Turkey was shaken by an attempted military coup. As the events unfolded, Carnegie Europe hosted a media call with Marc Pierini, Sinan Ülgen, and Maha Yahya to discuss the implications of the botched coup for Turkey’s domestic politics and international relations. Jan Techau moderated.
You can listen to the audio of the call here.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has twice inspired praise for standing up to U.S. President Donald Trump: at the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos and on Canada-U.S. trade negotiations. Is Carney showing a third way better than the EU has in dealing with the Trump administration?

Moscow is testing Europe’s defenses with drone incursions and could decide to use drones against the continent on a much larger scale once the war in Ukraine pauses. European countries will need Kyiv to help them prepare for such a possibility.
