ASPO 25A16 - The G3: Navigating US-EU-China Relations

This course will address the state of relations between the three world superpowers which are the European Union (EU), the United States of America (USA) and the People's Republic of China (PRC). The course addresses the subject of these triangular, complicated, relations by developing: firstly, China-US relations, secondly, EU-China relations and, finally, EU-US relations. Each of these parts begins with a historical reminder and then explores the reset of these relations today. A large session of the course is also devoted to cross-cutting issues within this G-3 such as, for example, climate change, trade policy, digital technology, soft power, human rights, defense strategy, etc. This course wishes to adopt new perspectives to the understanding of the G-3 dynamics. A “decentered” perspective from each superpower's points of view – be it Brussels, Washington or Beijing- will be adopted.
