Reflections on the Future of Europe with Paolo Gentiloni

Europe finds itself at a crossroads, confronting a challenging external environment, an unprecedented surge in support for populist parties, and the impending withdrawal of the United Kingdom from the European Union. This raises a host of crucial questions: What will be the major challenges for Europe in the coming years? Is Europe prepared to weather these storms? And how will the rise of populism affect the institutional and policymaking landscape in Europe?

It is in this context that Paolo Gentiloni, former prime minister of Italy (2016-18) and member of the centre-left Democratic Party, will offer his reflections on dealing with Europe’s travails, drawing on his personal experience at the helm of power during a turbulent period.
