Abstract

Following the European elections of May 2019, the European Union (EU) opened a new institutional political cycle for the period 2019-2024. The year 2020 initiates a new time when the EU will have to tackle pending issues, such as United Kingdom’s exit or the 2021-2027 multiannual financial framework, while addressing new challenges, such as the achievement of climate neutrality or the development of the European Defence. In addition, the EU will commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Schuman Declaration on 9 May 2020, which will be an important and propitious event to take stock of the European political project and look to the future. This issue 62/2020 of Deusto Journal of European Studies includes contributions that deal with some of the issues and challenges the EU will face in the coming years.
