Europe in the world

The role and position of Europe in the world have been the subject of intense debates in international relations and beyond over the past decades. Different strands of argumentation address ideational, hierarchical, and material issues. On the ideational side, criticism of Eurocentrism highlights, on one hand, a set of ideas, theories, and practices of a rationalist modern ideal of governance, emphasizing expertise and bureaucracy, and the resulting environmental destruction. On the other hand, this critique questions Europe’s colonial legacy. However, European modernity has a Janus-faced character, as it also represents the development of representative democracy and human rights.

Regarding hierarchical and material issues, Europe’s economic prosperity, the core-periphery dynamics in the world economy, and the future of the planet are central concerns: How do Europe and the European Union situate themselves in the Anthropocene?

Additionally, the role of Europe and the European Union is now challenged by the war in Ukraine, raising questions about how European states and the EU can position themselves in a changing world order. Importantly, Europe is not identical with the European Union.
