For the Dutch political theorist, the European Union demonstrates, through the multiple crises it has gone through over the past ten years, its resilience and its ability to adapt.

Put to the test of the war in Ukraine, the EU “ 

is coming out of its neutrality (by delivering weapons) and taking on a new role, it's a real change

 ”, emphasizes Luuk van Middelaar.

The EU has come a long way because “ 

the word power was still taboo at the beginning of the century

 ”.
