College of Europe Podcast (Bruges)

In Episode 2 of the Geopolitics of Heated Rivalry podcast, Professor Michele Chang and Luis Matos break down episodes four through six, where Shane and Ilya navigate panic attacks, tuna melts, and one very judgmental Canadian bird on their journey from awkward flirtation to cozy cottage romance.

Beyond the drama, the discussion dives into queer politics, identity, and representation, exploring everything from heteronormative tropes to the very real pressures faced by queer individuals in Central and Eastern Europe. Guests Arthur Crisci and Coralie Ballieu bring sharp insights, humor, and just enough snark to keep the analysis as entertaining as the show itself.

In this episode of CSDP, Giulio Croce interviews Teresa Coratella, Deputy Head of the European Council on Foreign Relations in Rome.

In this conversation, they discuss Foreign Information Manipulation Interference (FIMI) and cognitive warfare, coming both from Russia and China and from the United States. FIMI is the frontier of hybrid warfare, with the ability to exploit the openness of democratic societies and manipulate public opinion. To be fit for the future, the EU and its Member States need to find a way to shield democratic processes from information manipulation.
