New initiative by Blanchard, Lamy, Letta, and Weder di Mauro charts long-term strategic vision for Europe by 2050
Summary
A new long-term strategic initiative led by prominent economists and policymakers (Olivier Blanchard, Pascal Lamy, Enrico Letta, and Beatrice Weder di Mauro) aims to explore what Europe should aspire to become by 2050. The project moves beyond short-term crisis management to assess current policy choices against a clearer strategic vision for Europe's future. It will produce both longer commissioned policy papers and shorter pieces through an open call, all intended to frame a forward-looking debate on Europe's long-term economic, political, and strategic trajectory.
