This workshop\, organised by Senior Research fellow at the IES Dr. Eva Gross\, interlinks questions of the EU’s performance vis-à-vis its strategic partners with its approach to specific challenges\: climate change\, regional conflicts and failed states\, migration\, and development. Contributions to this workshop address these challenges from a number of viewpoints\: the nature of the challenges\, their interconnectedness\, but also respective EU\, Chinese\, Indian\, Brazilian and Russian approaches to tackling them. By contrasting different national approaches\, viewpoints and proposed policy solutions\, this workshop aims to generate research questions\, establish synergies between researchers\, and enable to formation of an expert community on this subject.
