Peter Zeihan: Can the French Lead the EU into the Future?

Thought Leader: Peter Zeihan
July 16, 2024

From Peter Zeihan: The EU was established to promote unity and peace, but times have changed and priorities have shifted. So, what does the future of the European Union look like and how does France fit into the mix?

The EU’s expansion throughout the years has involved integrating some diverse countries, at first for stability and later for economic and political strength. Recent challenges like Brexit, a financial crisis, and the Ukraine War have demanded a shift from an economic focus, to a political and military focus.

France is well suited to lead this transition, thanks to its centralized government and strong military. In order to ensure long-term stability, the French will have to decide what their role is in all of this and where to go from here.
