Part 6/7:
Stubb’s reflections on the current state of Europe reveal a sense of historical amnesia. He pointedly noted that cyclical crises have defined Europe over the past decades, characterizing its trajectory as a journey from chaos to suboptimal solutions but ultimately hinting at the resilience of democratic institutions.
He underscored that while there are pressing challenges to the international order, the ultimate advocacy for democracy remains strong. Stubb believes that despite the chaos, a return to cooperative multilateralism is feasible if approached thoughtfully.
