Main themes
During his sessions, Professor René Leray will focus on the particular nature of the EU and will analyse how this nature may influence its role, its position and effectiveness in the main areas of its external action and international relations (trade, currency and finance, development aid; culture education and research; diplomacy, crisis management and military aspects).
Dirk Wouters will address the following topics: the relationship between the United Kingdom and the EU (Brexit); transatlantic relationship; and finally the European Institutions, and especially functioning of the European Council.
Raoul Delcorde's lectures will examine the various CFSP and CSDP arrangements, analysing specific cases: an example of successful diplomatic mediation (EU3+1 in negotiations on the Iranian nuclear programme); the EU and multilateralism, taking into account the support given by the EU to the multilateral institutions. M. Delcorde will deal with the issue of the CETA crisis and its effects on the EU-Canada relationship; at the juncture of the EU trade policy and the transatlantic relation.
Jean-Louis De Brouwer will concentrate on the issue of migration as far as they constitute a priority of the EU external agenda. He will supply a detailed plan and an institutional dossier.
