Harri Tiido: What does the Finnish memo teach us about the shift in world order?

Foreign policy expert Harri Tiido analyzes in the Vikerradio series a new world order and the importance of the EU's strategic capacity in a transformative era. According to Tiido, the EU and all of Europe must find new ways of operating.

Foreign policy expert and former Estonian diplomat Harri Tiido examines in his Vikerradio series "Harri Tiido's Background Stories" the changing global world order and the role Europe plays in this process.

Tiido presents the Finnish memo as the starting point for his analysis, a document that addresses the current upheaval in international relations. According to him, it is an important document that helps make sense of how European countries should position themselves in the new geopolitical situation.

Particularly important, in Tiido's view, is how the EU's strategic capacity develops in the coming years. Both the EU and, more broadly, all of Europe must find new ways of operating in a time when traditional international agreements and order are under severe pressure. Without a clear strategic direction, Europe risks becoming a bystander in processes that will determine the continent's security and economic future.

The Vikerradio series "Harri Tiido's Background Stories" regularly covers the context of foreign policy and security issues, providing listeners with deeper context to current events. Tiido's long-standing diplomatic experience lends weight to his analysis in a way that ordinary news stories cannot provide.
