Oliver Farry is pleased to welcome Alexandre Vautravers, Associate Fellow in Leadership in Conflict Management at the Geneva Centre for Security Policy (GCSP).

He says Europe is entering a phase of cautious autonomisation in response to an unpredictable US ally that has increasingly adopted highly confrontational policies towards allies and adversaries across the globe.
