Policy is formulated on what decision-makers think, not necessarily on what is. The foreign policy of the European Union (EU) is no different. Yet we know little about how EU officials think the EU and its external policies are perceived by their counterparts in the countries with which they work. In this panel discussion Othmar Karas, former vice-President of the European Parliament, and Tina Freyburg, Full professor of Comparative Politics at HSG, explore the EU's perception of its external image and how it shapes its foreign policy. The conversation will delve into how the EU's global standing, reputation, and values influence its diplomatic strategies, partnerships, and responses to international challenges. The event offers a unique opportunity to gain insights from a key figure in EU governance, addressing the complex dynamics between the EU's self-image and its role on the world stage. Ideal for those interested in European politics, international relations, and global diplomacy.
