Europeans should defend their rules on trade, investment and infrastructure—and, in so doing, change the logic that encourages Chinese retaliation, writes @tobiasgehrke.bsky.social buff.ly/nLtIP7e

❗️ Turkey has become an embedded outsider: a middle power that builds strategic autonomy from inside the Western system. Europe should stop trying to resolve the contradiction and learn to capitalise on it. 🔗 buff.ly/3yqq2SK

The UAE built its power by turning itself into a hub that binds it to every great power at once. The war with Iran has tested this strategy and is forcing a rethink in Abu Dhabi. https://ecfr.eu/publication/little-venice-little-sparta-the-uaes-statecraft-meets-the-war-on-iran/

1/4 Canada’s interest in closer ties with Europe is real. And so is Europe’s need for reliable partners beyond the US. But the EU’s new offer of “associate membership” still lacks a clear definition. Without one, it risks becoming little more than symbolism. 🧵 buff.ly/7VUM4eR

1/4 The international order is not simply breaking down. It is becoming “un-ordered”: a world in which states increasingly act without reference to a common framework. For Europe, that requires a different kind of multilateralism. 🧵 buff.ly/VLEo95r

Restoring a fading order is not the right foundation for a sustainable policy on international cooperation. Instead, Britain should put its experience, expertise and diplomatic influence on the side of innovation in international politics, writes @anthonydworkin.bsky.social buff.ly/COwhEXw

1/4 Britain’s foreign policy is stuck in the past, writes @AnthonyDworkin. Brexit, two Trump presidencies and a much more fragmented world have exposed the limits of the old post-cold-war model. Britain now needs a more flexible, internationalist strategy. 🧵 buff.ly/UkllSXV

1/4 The UAE built its influence by becoming a global hub, connecting trade, finance, energy and technology across competing powers. The war with Iran exposed the limits of that model: deep economic ties did not prevent Emirati infrastructure from becoming a target. 🧵 buff.ly/S7B5YnE
