The EU at 30: Looking forward and back

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:26:54 GMT

Dermot Hodson is author of “Circle of Stars: A History of the EU and the People Who Made It,” published by Yale University Press.The European Union turns 30 today.The Maastricht Treaty, which entered into force on November 1, 1993, envisioned nothing less than “a new stage in the process of European integration,” which would help end “the division of the European continent.” For all its faults, the EU has honored these aspirations, admitting 16 new members over the last three decades and fostering a spirit of cooperation that no other international organization has matched.But for all its achievements, the EU still struggles to defend the ideals of unity, solidarity and harmony symbolized by the circle of stars on its flag.Today, the mood in Brussels is somber, just as it was in 1993, when the EU was established on the edifice of the older European Community. Then, as now, the bloc faced sluggish economic growth, a political agenda partly shaped by right-wing populists, and bloody ...

From WWE wrestling to global AI summit: The unlikely rise of Michelle Donelan

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:26:54 GMT

LONDON — Britain’s tech chief is no stranger to dealing with big egos. She used to promote superstar wrestlers.U.K. Science and Technology Secretary Michelle Donelan’s past career as a marketeer for WWE wrestling may stand her in good stead at Bletchley Park on Wednesday, as she hosts representatives from more than 100 tech companies, countries and academic institutions on the first day of a U.K.-hosted summit which aims to grapple with one of the biggest challenges of our time — the rise of artificial intelligence. Working at the fast-paced WWE was “very much like” being at her busy Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT), Donelan tells POLITICO — somewhat improbably — in an eve-of-summit interview at her sparsely-decorated office on Whitehall.The oddball world of commercial wrestling was also good training for politics. “It was an eye-opener to different personalities, and how to deal with those different personalities,” she says — ideal for “deal...

Ravens stand pat at NFL trade deadline: ‘We have an excellent roster’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 10:26:54 GMT

The Ravens are standing pat.The NFL trade deadline came and went Tuesday without Baltimore making a move. Coach John Harbaugh said the day before that he thinks the team has everything it needs in terms of players to be successful, and the lack of adding to the roster seems to indicate general manager Eric DeCosta feels the same.DeCosta, who typically does not speak to the media during the season, was unavailable for comment.“Do we have a specific overarching have-to-have guy? No,” Harbaugh said Monday. “We have an excellent roster.”Though the NFL trade deadline doesn’t produce the same flurry of activity that is seen in other sports such as the NBA and MLB, there were deals to be made.The San Francisco 49ers strengthened their already elite defense by reportedly trading a 2024 third-round pick for Commanders star defensive end Chase Young. Washington also unloaded their other defensive end, Montez Sweat, to the Chicago Bears for a second-round draft pi...
