Strategic Thinking for Europe.
ESILUX is an independent think tank based in Luxembourg. It is concerned with Europe’s capacity to act as a political actor in the world, and with Luxembourg’s position within that evolving landscape. Its work focuses on the institutional, economic, and security foundations of European power.
At a time when political norms are being weakened, contested, or abandoned, ESILUX seeks to contribute to a renewed strategic vision of Europe as a normative power. Not as an abstract ideal, but as a political project that must be articulated, debated, and defended.
Focus Area
Out work is organized around a small number of core research areas that address the political, economic, and institutional foundations of European power.
Through research, expert dialogue, and public engagement, we seek to contribute to informed debate on Europe’s strategic choices – and on Luxembourg’s role within them.
Europe’s role in a changing global security order, including deterrence, alliances, and strategic responsibility.
