2026 - Strategic Blindness in the Sahel: Russian Influence and EU Security
This article examines the evolving security dynamics in the African Sahel and their implications for European Union (EU) security amid the expansion of Russian influence since 2021. It argues that the displacement of EU and Western actors by Russia has reshaped the regional security environment, generating a condition of strategic blindness for the EU, characterised by reduced situational awareness, limited intelligence access, and diminished capacity to shape developments on the ground. The study identifies key transnational threats affecting the EU, including terrorism and violent extremism, irregular migration, organised crime, illicit trafficking, and foreign information manipulation and interference (FIMI).

August 9, 2026 - THE BRUSSELS GAMBIT
Somewhere on a tablet in her deputy's coat pocket, unread until the car, a routine notice was already waiting: a Gulf-registered subsidiary of a Texas-headquartered firm had that afternoon signed a contract to field an autonomous perimeter network for a private consortium operating in the South China Sea. The market, whatever the communiqué said, was not waiting for Brussels to catch up to it. It never had. Continue reading
