Summary

In this episode of Lawyering Peace, Dr. Paul Williams speaks with Dr. Charles Tenenbaum, Associate Professor at Sciences Po Lille and expert on international mediation and conflict resolution, to examine how France and Europe are responding to the accelerating transformation of the global order.

Drawing on decades of work in diplomacy, mediation, and international security, Dr. Tenenbaum explores France’s evolving vision of strategic autonomy, the future of the rules-based international order, and the growing pressure on Europe to assume greater responsibility for its own security. The conversation examines Russia’s war against Ukraine, the future of NATO and European defense integration, and the challenges facing the European Union as it balances enlargement, flexibility, and political cohesion.

The discussion also turns to the Global South, artificial intelligence, and the broader competition shaping the next international system. Throughout, Dr. Tenenbaum reflects on whether Europe can remain both a normative and strategic power in an increasingly fragmented and contested world.

This episode offers a timely and nuanced assessment of diplomacy, power, and global governance at a moment of profound geopolitical transition.
