Make it or Break it: L’Europa alla prova della verità
Già nei primi 100 giorni dell'amministrazione Trump, il contesto di sicurezza è molto cambiato per l’Unione europea.
La seconda amministrazione Trump ha cambiato approccio all’uso del potere in patria, con il tentativo di neutralizzare ogni resistenza, dai media alle università ai tribunali. La concentrazione del potere nella figura di presidente molto decisionista e molto volubile ha reso gli Stati Uniti un alleato meno affidabile per l’Europa.
La “pace attraverso la forza” per ora non si vede, in Ucraina come a in Medio Oriente, e così l’Unione europea si trova alle prese con la sfida di costruire una nuova architettura di sicurezza senza più poter contare davvero sul suo storico alleato, gli Stati Uniti, e con una minaccia strategica che pare sempre più pericolosa, la Russia.
In questo contesto è cominciato un dibattito sul riarmo europeo che polarizza le opinioni pubbliche, in particolare in Italia.
Come può rispondere l’Ue alla doppia sfida di Russia e Stati Uniti? E con quali risorse?
Ne discuteremo al prossimo incontro del ciclo di eventi di geopolitica co-organizzati da IEP@BU e ISPI Make it or Break it: L’Europa alla prova della verità

A IEP@BU Digital Event
Can We Make Digital Platforms’ Algorithms Less Harmful?
Webinar - May 14, 2:30 pm

Europe has relied heavily on regulation to protect itself from Big Tech firms. However, regulatory efforts are now encountering limitations, especially as the U.S. administration relaxes its own regulatory stance and increasingly challenges EU policies.
Given these shifting political dynamics, how can the EU effectively manage the influence of Big Tech platforms while fostering European digital platforms that better serve societal interests?
The recent IEP@BU report, Rules That Empower, highlights a significant limitation in current regulatory frameworks, noting that while regulations attempt to minimize harm caused by digital platforms, they have inadvertently stifled innovation.
The IEP@BU Policy Brief Certification of Business Practices and Algorithms of Digital Platforms proposes an innovative approach aimed at curbing harmful practices by dominant platforms. It also seeks to incentivize emerging platforms whose practices align closely with the public interest.
Platforms undergoing voluntary certification could thus distinguish themselves competitively, potentially pressuring dominant platforms to revise their practices to maintain market share. Regulators could, if necessary, eventually mandate certification for dominant platforms.
The upcoming IEP@BU digital event will further explore this policy brief and its implications.
Two of the authors, Dovev Lavie and Tommaso Valletti, will present their proposals. Luca Aguzzoni (European Commission) will provide feedback from a policymaking perspective, while Mariateresa Maggiolino (IEP@BU and co-author of "Rules That Empower") will serve as a discussant.
SPEAKERS:
Luca Aguzzoni: Head of Sector, DMA team, DG CNECT, European Commission
Dovev Lavie: Professor of Management, Department of Management and Technology, Bocconi University
Mariateresa Maggiolino: Full Professor of Antitrust Law, Bocconi University
Tommaso Valletti: Professor of Economics, Imperial College Business School
The IEP@BU Mission
Founded by Bocconi University and Institute Javotte Bocconi, the Institute for European Policymaking @ Bocconi University combines the analytic rigor of a research institute, the policy impact of a think tank, and the facts-based effort of raising public opinion’s awareness about Europe through outreach activities. The Institute, fully interdisciplinary, intends to address the multi-fold obstacles that usually stand between the design of appropriate policies and their adoption, with particular attention to consensus building and effective enforcement.
The Institute’s mission is to conduct, debate, and disseminate high-quality research on the major policy issues facing Europe, and the EU in particular, its Member States and its citizens, in a rapidly changing world.
It is independent of any business or political influence.
