In this episode of Future is Blue, Carlos Carnicero Urabayen speaks with Arancha González Laya, former Spanish Foreign Minister and Dean of the Paris School of International Affairs at Sciences Po, following a Funcas event in Madrid. They explore how broader reform packages could help governments reach agreement, why pooling sovereignty can strengthen countries’ ability to protect their interests, and how “talking micro”—explaining the benefits of European integration in everyday terms—could help win citizens’ support. González Laya also explains why she sees the world as fragmenting rather than deglobalising, and makes the case for combining stronger trade partnerships with a deeper European Single Market.
