Conference - What Does Venezuela Reveal to Us? Is It Just an Isolated Case?

Threats of sanctions, economic pressure, martial rhetoric, and open interference: the Venezuelan crisis acts as a stark indicator of a changing—or increasingly uninhibited—world. In front of Caracas, the United States no longer bothers to hide its methods. International law? Optional. Multilateral institutions? Can be bypassed. Allies? Expected to follow.
But Venezuela might only be the tip of the iceberg. From strains over Greenland to shifts in energy and military balances, a new imperialism seems to be emerging in plain sight, more concerned with effectiveness than with appearances. A logic of raw, assumed power is shaking the geopolitical order built after the Cold War.
And what about the European Union? It protests politely, issues cautious statements, calls for dialogue… then looks away. Unable to truly influence events, strategically, economically, and militarily dependent, the EU sometimes appears to be a normative power without muscle, doomed to comment on a world it no longer shapes. Willingly submissive or just powerless?
This "Mardis de l'actu" event by CIEP Luxembourg aims to go beyond slogans and outrage to better understand what is really at stake. With Frédéric Mérand, professor of international relations at UCLouvain, we will try to untangle facts, strategies, and illusions to provide essential insights for an increasingly harsh—and less and less readable—world.
