🎬 How will the EU election results impact the green transition? Alfonso Medinilla argues that despite the desire for a more inward looking agenda focused on European competitiveness, Europe requires partners to succeed and cannot hope to build good partnerships with a purely extractive approach. This work follows from our series 'To the New Leaders of Europe,' where we explored how the EU’s relationship with countries worldwide is changing and emphasised the importance of investing in strategic global partnerships.

🌍 The “New Bismarckian” Era: Implications for Public Affairs—and My Take on Health Policy Stan Jackson’s recent article on geopolitics in a “New Bismarckian” era offers a fascinating lens on how Realpolitik might reshape public affairs. 💡 One thought it sparked for me: If health policy were viewed through a Bismarckian lens, we might see: ➔ A push for domestic production of critical medicines and vaccines as a matter of economic and national security. ➔ Strategic health diplomacy—leveraging healthcare initiatives, like vaccine distribution, as tools for geopolitical influence. ➔ A shift in health funding from global institutions (like the World Health Organization) to bilateral agreements or regional coalitions, mirroring broader geopolitical trends. ➔ Health initiatives framed as strategic assets, vital to workforce productivity and national resilience. 📚 Stan’s article is a timely reminder that major geopolitical trends can redefine our role as public affairs professionals—and across a whole range of policy areas, including healthcare. 👉 https://lnkd.in/es2XR4GV PS: What’s your takeaway? How do you think these shifts could affect public affairs—or health policy specifically? ♻️ If this resonates with you, consider sharing this post with your network and let’s keep the conversation going. #PublicAffairs #Policy #HealthPolicy #Geopolitics
