With each new Trumpian twist and turn, Merz has become more convinced that Europeans—and Germany in particular—need to find new partners around the world (in addition to the transatlantic alliance).

The Christian Democrats have had a mixed start to this year’s regional votes. But for Chancellor Friedrich Merz, the state of the Social Democrats is more worrying than a grab-bag of election results.

The EU needs to take secure chemical supply chains more seriously, @RANDEurope's Francesca Ghiretti writes in our spring issue. Right now, chemicals are a neglected part of Europe’s economic security.

NEW: Great powers' use of regulatory heft, trade flows, and pure economic coercion as instruments of foreign policy has passed the highwater mark. Middle powers are likely to profit.

NEW: The Iran war started as a war of choice, but it is now morphing into one of necessity, Iran expert @ksadjadpour tells IPQ. Now, Europeans are facing a dilemma that is not of their making.

The world is facing the end of an idealistic-normative approach to the international order. Germany needs to recalibrate its approach.

With the logic of current US foreign policy solely based on power, the question for Europe is whether it can muster the strength, cohesion, and nerve required to shape whatever global order comes next.
Wojciech Solak in our spring issue: ip-quarterly.com/en/trump-co…
One year on from Donald Trump’s return to the White House, a solid majority in Germany no longer trusts the United States. Opinions about what role the country should play in Europe, though, remain in flux.

The best time to prevent a crisis is before it happens. But which crisis, and how long do we have?

Poland's nationalist-populist Law and Justice (PiS) party has decided to make Poland’s attitude to the EU the country’s key political cleavage. This is unprecedented and dangerous.

The future of German foreign policy? @dgapev
@IPQuarterly has asked @fuecks, @markspeich & me to contribute to a short series: Fast Forward.
My argument: Germany’s foreign policy debate is too narrow. Foreign policy is also fiscal policy.
A few thoughts:

Friedrich Merz claims to have a brand-new German foreign policy—but so far, there’s been more continuity than change with his government.
What Berlin needs is a major strategy for protecting Europe’s security, @henninghoff argues in our new issue: ip-quarterly.com/en/german-f…

New from @JosephdeWeck: In the age of weapons of mass disruption, Europe's economy cannot afford to seize up every time geopolitical friction erupts. Leaders must plan for frequent upheavals, short intervals between them, and unreliable global trade flows.
ip-quarterly.com/en/europe-a…
The debate about EU enlargement is fast approaching a critical phase as member states consider the question of how to facilitate Ukraine’s accession. Germany is starting to become more flexible on the subject, @MilanN_inBerlin and Nikola Xaviereff write. ip-quarterly.com/en/eu-enlar…
Faced with a Trump administration that is treating allies as free-riders, the Japanese are trying to prove their indispensability—due to a lack of other options, writes @dgapev's Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff.

NEW: The European Union doesn’t think of itself as a geopolitical power in the South Caucasus. But its policies there are constraining Russia in ways that matter strategically—regardless of Brussels’ intentions.
