=====Key Insights=====
The report discusses the evolving dynamics of global politics characterized by intensified contestation. It highlights the impact of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the resurgence of territorial conflicts, alongside the growing rivalry between the United States and China. An informal coalition of countries is increasingly promoting anti-Western narratives and challenging established global governance structures. The report identifies three main types of contestation: territorial, normative, and issue-specific. It emphasizes the need for European leaders and policymakers to adapt their strategies to effectively navigate this new landscape. The report concludes that developing successful strategies for Europe to thrive in this world of contestation will require realism, agility, and smarter approaches to foreign policy, making it a top priority for the new EU leadership in 2024.  \\
