FEATURE: «DID YOU SAY EUROPE?», Antoine-Frédéric Bernhard | He is a major intellectual figure of the 20th century—a Swiss, no less—yet one we hear very little about. Lack of interest is undoubtedly a major factor, since Denis de Rougemont’s entire body of work has been available for free online since 2020, thanks to the efforts of several researchers at the University of Geneva. This prolific writer devoted a large part of his work to Europe, which he saw as caught between the two superpowers, the United States and the Soviet Union. In his 1970 *Open Letter to Europeans*—a plea for European cultural identity—the Geneva-based writer advocates for the idea of full federalism, grounded in a regionalism opposed to all forms of modern nationalism. His reflections on European unity are more relevant than ever. Here is a brief overview.

ARTICLE LONG FORMAT, Clément Guntern | Contrary to all expectations, the European Union has not emerged from the health crisis particularly weakened. On the contrary, it has been able to take important initiatives for its future. But is it prepared for the new world of rivalry and competition between powers? The question of strategic autonomy, currently under debate, will be crucial.
LONG FORMAT ARTICLE, Clément Guntern | As September's general elections for the Bundestag draw nearer, there's an unexpected topic on which Germany's environmentalists could make the most profound changes since the end of the war. And it's not just the fight against climate change.
