European Council Experts Debrief is series of policy responses by TEPSA to the regularly published conclusions of the European Council. Each time the European Council meet for a summit, TEPSA gathers its leading academics to comment on the conclusions, analysing alliances formed, maintained, and broken, investigating the policy implications of the consensus reached, and prescribing solutions to move Europe forward.

This month, our experts focus on a number of important topics discussed at the European Council: What should be the EU’s China strategy? (source: TEPSA).
