💡 Ahead of our State of Europe festival of politics and ideas this week, we invite you to read this Critical Thinking article, by Prof. Dr. Bruno Colmant, Member of Académie royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-Arts de Belgique and Professor at UCLouvain - Université catholique de Louvain, again. ⤵️ ❝The European continent needs more clarity about its future, whatever that future may be.❞ Weakened by social movements and ahead of the European elections, 2024 will be decisive for the future of Europe. In the new emerging model we find ourselves in, the question arises about what we want today as a society. ⬇️ Check out the full article below. #CriticalThinking #StateOfEU #2024EUElections #RenewedSocialContract

In the end it is about the people and we know it is the commitment, competence, attitudes and motivation of individuals at all levels that determines the end result. Without the MLC as an effective standard implemented, enforced and maintained (modernized) as intended when we developed and adopted it, we will all struggle. #MLC, #ILO, #Seafarer, #HSE

Interesting thoughts on the situation of Europe in particular France and Germany.

Here's a useful vid from a commentator on China I am always interested to listen to. He knows China well and has lived there for years. I mean Cyrus Janssen. Here he comments on Turkey's pivot towards BRICS. It is well worth a listen - among other takes he makes in a growing stack of insightful vids - especially in the context of the now fast and ever-shifting trajectory toward a multi-polar world - which BRICS' continuing expansion both confirms and deepens. https://lnkd.in/eySw4mkP

Security dilemmas are a really growing field of concern everywhere. Our focus is - quite obviously and naturally - captured by the "Three Big": the disturbing events around Ukraine, the Middle-East and the Taiwan straits. But we must not forget the role West Balkans played, more than one time in recent history, in the development of dangerous crises. Thus, efforts towards strengthening stability in this neighbouring region is money, time and affection well invested. I am looking forward with thrill (and I hope: inventive ideas) to participate at the coming Budapest Balkans Forum, organized by the Hungarian Institute of International Affairs. My responsibility will be to design and implement some hands-on exercises for young participants. It is always a most rewarding task, immense source of mutual learning - and mutual fun. #westbalkans #security #cbersecurity #simulationexercise #Budapest #Balkans #Forum #diplomatic #negotiations
