We are active in the following fields:

Analysis, commentary, and publishing


We are regularly analysing, commenting and publishing about European integration, international security and defence, NATO and the Transatlantic Alliance, Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, Ukraine, relations with China and many more. We value clarity and frankness, and avoid the bureaucratic lingo of too many of the stakeholders in the Brussels institutions.

With our wealth of expertise, we are regularly participating as speaker or moderator in a broad range of international events. In case you are interested in one of us as a speaker or moderator, please use the contact form below.

Topics

Brussels Freedom Hub
With our wealth of experience and insights, from NATO and EU, academia and politics, we are covering the following major topics:

European integration and EU institutions


How can Europe cope with D. Trump, and withstand the double onslaught of autocracies abroad and neo-nationalism, populism and democratic backsliding within?

NATO and transatlantic relations 


NATO between Trump, Putin and Xi, juggling an increasing range of external and internal challenges.

International security and defence 


From lack of leadership and courage in international politics, via Russia’s useful idiots to a crumbling global security order.

Central and Eastern Europe 


Corroborated by the Ukraine war, but plagued by  new autocracies

China


The biggest long term strategic challenge to the West, NATO and EU alike, – and leader of the new autocracies

Democracy 


An endangered system – but hopefully more resilient than it seems

Arts and Culture

Movies, serials, to an extent even music, are hugely influential on political debates and our collective subconscious. They reflect societal vibes, but also influence them in subtle ways. Here is some food for thought!
