Divided EU Foreign Policies

The increasing popularity of pro-environment policies could make the Green party a viable coalition partner for both the center-right CDU and center-left SPD.

A look at what the coming week will bring -- and a list of recommended Stratfor articles from the week that was.

France's failure to stabilize the region will make it difficult to reduce its counterterrorism operations without triggering more violence.

Sanctions targeting the Kremlin’s economic interests could result in a range of retaliatory actions, including import bans and cyberattacks.

The intensifying dispute over customs controls could prompt Brussels to retaliate with tariffs on British products.

Amid growing frustration with its slow inoculation campaign, Brussels will struggle to keep countries from buying China and Russia’s vaccines.

The EU will limit China’s access to strategic economic sectors and continue to confront Beijing over political, human rights and security issues.

The opposition leader's jailing will trigger swift and strong public rebukes from the U.S. and Europe. But penalties that actually change the Kremlin’s behavior are unlikely.

The talks will likely defuse the threat of a military conflict in the Mediterranean, though Ankara and Athens are unlikely to resolve their deeper disputes.

Coordination on issues like climate change will increase. But Washington and Brussels will likely still spar over trade, tech policy and defense spending.
