Join Philipp Genschel who will assess the evidence of the EU’s first reactions to the war in the Ukraine and explain why even ‘bellicist’ integration is unlikely to usher in a European superstate.

I will assess the evidence of the EU’s first reactions to the war in the Ukraine and explain why even ‘bellicist’ integration is unlikely to usher in a European superstate.
