Radoslaw Sikorski
At the Delphi Economic Forum in April 2024, Poland’s outspoken Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski sat down with British journalist Nick Gowing to discuss Europe’s - and the West’s - response to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
They discussed the EU’s troubles at unity against russian aggression and becoming more resilient to foreign interference, which ranges from military capacity to allowing russian interference in election campaigns and public discourse. His sobering takeaway: The war will be decided on economic capacity, so the issue is who will outlast whom. And Ukraine cannot outlast Russia without the West’s support.
Is this the end of the post - Cold War era? This existential challenge will define our children’s future, Sikorski concludes. -

Recorded at the Delphi Economic Forum in April 2024, this podcast presents an in-depth conversation on the future of Middle East security, featuring some of the top foreign policy and security experts of the region.

A reflective conversation between leading public intellectual Ivan Krastev, chairman of the Centre for Liberal Strategies in Sofia and ELIAMEP’s Loukas Tsoukalis, on the prospects of future EU enlargements, in both the Western Balkans and Ukraine.
Is an EU of 35 realistic? Recorded at the Delphi Economic Forum in April 2024, Krastev and Tsoukalis offer valuable insights on how a future enlargement will be different than previous ones, how can it be achieved, whether Western Balkans integration in the EU is directly linked to the outcome of the war in Ukraine and how demographics change the nature of the democratic process. Ultimately, can Ukraine change Europe from a project of peace to a project of war and peace? -
Recorded at the Delphi Economic Forum in April 2024, best selling author and globally prominent geopolitical analyst Robert Kaplan delivers a tour de force on the prospects and aspirations of the wider Middle East, in conversation with Reuters’ Hugo Dixon.
Drawing from his new book “The Loom of Time: Between Empire and Anarchy, from the Mediterranean to China”, Kaplan explains that contrary to the usual narrative that engulfs the region (democracy vs authoritarianism), a vast part of the world, ranging from North Africa to Western China is influenced by a deeper theme: division between imperial tyranny and fear of anarchy.
Kaplan then analyzes developments in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iran and of course Israel and Palestine, to end with a tone of optimism: Change can come to the region, but does not come according to a Western script. -
Drawing from a wealth of experience as a 4 star US Army General and Director of the CIA, David H. Petraeus delivers an insightful overview of the state of play of different conflict regions of the world, in conversation with Kathimerini’s Athanassios Ellis.
Recorded at the Delphi Economic Forum in April 2024, Petraeus states that the future of Ukraine relies on the triptych: military innovation, men, and foreign assistance. On the Gaza conflict, he puts forward the proposition that civilian casualties should be kept to a minimum, otherwise we are sowing the seeds of a Hamas 2.0. The conversation concludes with Petraeus’ thoughts on Turkey and the complicated relationship with the US, and the bright future of Greek - American elections. -
One of the world’s most read authors and historians, Anne Applebaum spoke in the Delphi Economic Forum last April with Ta Nea’s Michalis Mitsos, on a critical question of our time: Why do people who live in democracies find authoritarianism appealing?
Drawing inspiration from her newly published book “Autocracy, Inc: The Dictators Who Want to Run the World”, Applebaum explains how autocratic figures like Russia’s President Vladimir Putin sell the image of a supporter of traditional values and position themselves as “deniers” of Western values. For Applebaum, the conclusion is clear: in an era of radical change like today, the need for a strongman arises. And to counter that, we must devine a kind of “tough liberalism”, which is not naive about the realities of our time and the extent of foreign influence in our democracies. -
