Europe has a rare chance to close part of its productivity gap with America through artificial intelligence. The CEPA commentary warns that Brussels and national governments may blow it by reopening the very copyright rules that allow AI models to learn.

Europe is facing a new cyber threat that its rulebooks are not built to handle. The Carnegie Europe paper warns that autonomous AI agents are moving into cyberspace as tools that can scan, reason, adapt and act with far less human supervision than traditional software.

CEPS’s in-depth analysis gives Brussels a sharp warning on digital power. The EU wants Asian tech partners to help it survive the US-China technology squeeze.

One of Europe’s greatest achievements is increasingly being treated as a security problem. Across the Schengen area, governments are reintroducing temporary border controls in response to migration pressures, security concerns and political demands. The Stratfor analysis warns that these measures may look temporary, but their economic consequences could become much harder to reverse.

Europe says it wants a reliable, integrated power market. This policy brief shows how far reality lags behind the promise. Capacity mechanisms meant to keep the lights on are multiplying across member states, poorly aligned and barely coordinated. The result is higher costs, distorted markets and growing risk just as electricity demand and system stress rise.

Europe says it is getting serious about China. This report suggests otherwise. Across trade, technology and security, the EU is still caught between recognition and reluctance. The risks are clearer than ever, but action remains cautious, uneven and heavily constrained by dependence and division.

Germany’s China policy has flipped from cosy commerce to uneasy competition, and this report explains why the old model finally broke. Berlin spent years selling the idea of win-win trade while piling up dependency and risk. Now reality has intruded. China is no longer just a market. It is a strategic challenger, and Germany is scrambling to adjust without wrecking its own economy.
