This chapter argues that Europe is at a turning point and must reform itself to remain a significant global power. The author emphasizes Europe’s dependence on external actors, particularly the United States for security, China for technology and supply chains, and foreign energy sources. To reduce these vulnerabilities, Europe must strengthen its strategic autonomy by investing in defense, artificial intelligence, semiconductors, and renewable energy. The war in Ukraine and evolving global alliances highlight the urgency of these reforms.The chapter also calls for Europe to reinforce its social and environmental role. It proposes reducing inequalities through tax harmonization, stronger regulation of multinational corporations, and the creation of a European minimum wage adapted to national contexts. Additionally, Europe should lead the ecological transition through investments in green industries and sustainable agriculture.A central theme is Europe’s democratic deficit, which fuels public distrust. The author suggests institutional reforms, including the direct election of a European President, the creation of a Senate representing nations and regions, and a stronger European Parliament with expanded powers and increased citizen participation.Finally, the chapter proposes a flexible confederated model of Europe, combining national sovereignty with stronger cooperation in strategic sectors. A multi-speed integration system would allow member states to participate at different levels while preserving European unity and global influence.
