Can Europe survive? Navigating a fractured world
We welcome David Marsh—renowned author, commentator, and one of Europe’s most seasoned observers— for an inspiring afternoon in De Nieuwe Schatkamer at DNB.
Date:
30 March
Time:
16:30 - 18:00
Marsh will do a keynote presentation on his acclaimed new book:
Can Europe survive? The story of a continent in a fractured world.
Marsh traces Europe’s trajectory from the fall of the Berlin Wall to today’s era of geopolitical rifts, economic headwinds, and shifting global power balances. He exposes the structural challenges at the heart of the European project:
- the erosion of leadership and political cohesion,
- the rise of populism and nationalism,
- Europe’s increasingly precarious place between the US and China,
- and the vulnerabilities within the eurozone and Europe’s economic model.
Following the keynote, Marsh will sit down for an in‑depth conversation with Roel Janssen, journalist and expert on international affairs. Together, they will explore the book’s most urgent themes—Europe’s fractured geopolitics, its economic dilemmas, and the fundamental question: what will it take for Europe not just to endure, but to thrive?
You will hear firsthand from a leading thinker who has spoken to the architects, challengers, and critics of modern Europe. Expect sharp insights, fresh perspectives, and a candid dialogue on the choices that will define Europe’s next decades. Whether you follow geopolitics, economics, European integration, or simply care about the future of our continent, this is a conversation not to miss.
We welcome you to an inspiring, thought‑provoking afternoon followed by a few drinks and bites.
This programme is spoken in English.
