The Arctic is undergoing its most profound transformation in recorded history, driven by rapid climate change and intensifying geopolitical competition. The European Union (EU) — connected to the region through three Member States, two European Economic Area partners, along with a significant environmental and economic footprint — faces defining questions: what kind of Arctic actor does it want to be and what can it realistically do? This paper not only evaluates the EU's 2021 Arctic policy against its three core priorities but also examines how existing elements can be strengthened and better connected to broader EU frameworks, identifying new and emerging priority areas for EU engagement in a geopolitically transformed Arctic. It argues that the EU's Arctic policy has consistently functioned as a composite umbrella rather than a directed strategy and that the 2026 update represents not just another opportunity to add a further layer, but a critical moment to define what the EU genuinely wants in the Arctic and act upon it.

Après quinze mois de crise diplomatique, le Mali et l’Algérie renouent le dialogue. Retour des ambassadeurs, réouverture des espaces aériens et visite du Premier ministre malien Abdoulaye Maïga à Alger : le dégel est spectaculaire. Mais les contentieux qui avaient conduit à la rupture ont-ils vraiment disparu ?
