Europeans between the ages of 16-29 across 27 countries don’t necessarily have the same priorities. But politicians across the board are desperate to get them on side because their vote can have a significant impact in the European elections. In this episode, we look at the issues that matter to them, from war and health to education and the environment.

The creation of an independent Palestinian state seemed possible in 1993, but thirty years later it feels like a distant prospect. The two-state solution has yet to materialise, and recent years have been marred by political assassinations, violent uprisings, extremism, terrorist attacks, and police repression.

Mapping the World

On 4 April 1949, the North Atlantic Treaty was signed, enshrining the creation of NATO just four years after the end of the Second World War. The primary objective of this military alliance of twelve European and North American countries was to prevent war in Europe and to counter the expansion of the Soviet bloc. Since its creation in the Cold War, the organisation has grown from 12 to 31 member states - including several former Eastern Bloc nations. Weakened by its turbulent history, NATO is facing a growing number of challenges: the difficulty of coordinating its members, the logistical obstacles in the event of an attack on European soil, and the threat, raised by Donald Trump, of an American withdrawal, at a time when European defence is almost entirely dependent on the United States.

A look back at the turbulent history of the military alliance facing unprecedented challenges in the face of Putin's Russia.

Ancient Greek statues are white, pure and classical, just like the marble they are carved from. False. These statues were painted in fabulous bright colours. Archaeologists and art academics have known this for centuries so why does the white myth endure?

From adopting and amending legislative proposals to deciding on the EU budget, the powers of European Parliament are wide-ranging. The MEPs elected for five-year terms partake in key forums for debate and decision-making, but also play a supervisory role over other European institutions.

A legislative, budgetary and supervisory institution at once – the European Parliament plays a fundamental role.

While anti-war and pro-Palestine protests heat up across university campuses around the world; att this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, which takes place in the Swedish city of Malmö on Saturday, the Palestinian flag will be notably absent as boycott campaigns swirl over Israel’s participation. In this episode of ARTE Europe Weekly, we look at how camp culture and geopolitics have always gone hand-in-hand at Eurovision.

The globally televised song contest Eurovision insists it’s not political. But the most recent chapter in a decades-long history of political tension behind the event’s glitzy backdrop suggests a different story.

For the first time in 2020, around 100,000 Italians left big cities in the north of the country for modest towns in the south, in search of a new life.

On 1 May 2004, the European Union welcomed ten new members, including eight countries from Central and Eastern Europe. This massive enlargement changed overnight the dynamics of the EU. Twenty years on, how has this enlargement in the East shaped the new member states and the EU as a whole?

EU enlargement into eastern Europe was a major geopolitical moment in 2004. A focus on the European Union's biggest decision and its consequences.

EU Enlargement: Twenty Years On

The European Union began in 1952 as the European Coal and Steel Community and has continued to expand ever since, particularly with the eastward enlargement in 2004. Since the war in Ukraine, the centre of the EU seems to be shifting eastwards as countries in central and eastern Europe become more influential players within the EU.
