Um fim de tarde na @FCGulbenkian cheio de estórias da História dos últimos 25 anos da União Europeia 🇪🇺 no Mundo contados na primeira pessoa por @ValedeAlmeidaEU em conversa com Maria João Avillez e com abertura de @JMDBarroso. O livro 📕 vale muito a pena.

Cleaning documents, I found this note that was handed to me (can’t remember by whom) over a dinner during #ESPAS2017 #GlobalTrends conference. In this age of #EU doom & gloom it’s a good reminder of potential & possibility of the European project. #Foresight is a call to action.

Nils Gilman take on US NSS is well worth your time. “The 2025 National Security Strategy (NSS), the document you have thrown down on the table like a gauntlet, is a masterpiece of political rhetoric — and a catastrophic failure of strategic foresight.” https://t.co/PWC5U99iYw
