EU Foreign Policy Adaptation under Geopolitical Pressure

Abstract

This panel analyses how the EU’s foreign policy has evolved in response to mounting geopolitical pressures and external shocks. The papers investigate changes in EU external action across policy domains, including diplomacy, crisis response, and climate governance. Several contributions focus on how major international developments and competing power dynamics have reshaped EU priorities, instruments, and narratives. Collectively, the panel highlights the adaptive capacity—and limits—of EU foreign policy in an era marked by uncertainty, contestation, and overlapping crises.
