RSU Faculty of Social Sciences is delighted to invite you to a guest lecture by French researcher Élie Tenenbaum, Director of the Ifri Security Studies Center.
Outline
Over the last decade, France has positioned itself as the most strategically engaged European power in the Indopacific. This reveals both a historical legacy in the region due to overseas territories, and a heightened perception of the long-term impact of the US-China rivalry on European strategic interest. As challenges and threats keep piling up in Europe as well as in the IP, France struggles with limited capacity, stressing the need for a dynamic partnership policy and a updated realistic posture.
