The 2020s witnessed the resurgence of a European Defense Community. Should this EDC 2.0 be conceived as a spin-off or a partner of NATO? In either case, Berlin, Rome, and Paris must work together to build a joint defence. Otherwise, efforts to strengthen the political and military Union will remain wishful thinking.The Conversations for the Future of Europe is a series of events tackling major EU challenges taking place from April to May 2023.
