How the EU can enlarge

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:54:40 GMT

Nathalie Tocci is director of the Istituto Affari Internazionali and a part-time professor at the European University Institute. Her latest book, “A Green and Global Europe,” is out with Polity.The European Union doesn’t like to enlarge.Even in the best of times, enlargement leads to a dilution of power for existing members. And if it also means an economic cost, resistance grows further. On top of that, if there’s no compelling security reason for it, and candidates drag their feet on reforms, the process freezes once more.This has been the story of the Western Balkans and Turkey: Below EU-average economies, weak governance, imperfect democracies, unsolved conflicts and the politicization of enlargement — alongside the security guarantee provided by Turkey, Albania, North Macedonia and Montenegro’s NATO membership, as well as the alliance’s presence in Kosovo — have long hollowed out the drive for enlargement.Yet, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the possibility of the so-called “e...

Rishi Sunak’s Tory MPs want a summer of passion … from him

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:54:40 GMT

LONDON — Rishi Sunak’s hoping to take his first summer holiday in five years. He’s going to need it.The British prime minister — known for his punishing work ethic — heads into Westminster’s summer break with plenty to keep his mind on the day job.Last week saw his Conservative party, currently trailing in the national opinion polls, suffer two heavy by-election losses. And, while he managed to hang on to Boris Johnson’s old seat of Uxbridge, few believe it’s the sign of a big Tory resurgence.“They have at least got one straw to cling to,” Anthony Wells, head of research at YouGov, said of the Tories’ Uxbridge result. “Not a very good straw, but if you’re in a storm you cling to what you can.”As Conservative MPs flee Westminster and head back to their constituencies for an earful from voters, there’s a sense the prime minister needs to use his summer wisely and come back with a fired-up plan to save the party’s skin.“Incremental ...

Mets lose series to Red Sox as season continues to slip away

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 06:54:40 GMT

BOSTON — It might not be over for the Mets yet, but it’s certainly starting to feel like it.Carlos Carrasco turned in another brutal start in a 6-1 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Sunday night at Fenway Park. The veteran right-hander couldn’t even make it through the third inning. It would have been much worse if it weren’t for left fielder Mark Canha, who made three outfield assists, including two to save runs in the first and third innings.The Red Sox (52-47) took the series, 2-1, and the Mets (46-53), who are desperate to save their season before the Aug. 1 trade deadline, dropped their fifth game since the All-Star break.The 35-year-old Carrasco has shown flashes of what he used to look like this season, but overall, he hasn’t been able to sustain any sort of success from start to start. Carrasco is not alone in this — Max Scherzer, Justin Verlander, David Peterson and Tylor Megill are all trying to figure out why they have pitched to the same p...

Anthony Rizzo turned to Taylor Swift for his new walk-up song — and shook off his slump.The Yankees first baseman on Sunday went 4-for-4 with his first home run since May 20 after changing his walk-up music to Swift’s “…Ready For It?”“Taylor Swift, it’s her summer, really,” Rizzo said after the Yankees’ 8-5 win against the Royals. “She’s helping the economy in every city she goes.”The 33-year-old was referring to Swift’s blockbuster Eras Tour, which came to New Jersey’s MetLife Stadium for three concerts in May. Last month, Aaron Judge said multiple teammates attended a Swift concert.“Rizzo, he grabbed a couple T-shirts and sweatshirts,” Judge said on Bleacher Report’s “On Base with Mookie Betts” interview show. “He was grabbing all the merchandise. He was killing it.”Rizzo previously walked up to Swift’s “Bad Blood”...

Chicago White Sox starter Lucas Giolito reached a milestone, collecting the 1,000th strikeout of his career during Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Twins.What comes next for the right-hander will be closely monitored as the Aug. 1 trade deadline nears.Giolito showed again why he’s one of the top pitchers mentioned in trade speculation, allowing allowed six hits in five scoreless innings.But the Sox squandered that performance and a three-run, ninth-inning lead in a 5-4 loss in 12 innings in front of 29,001 at Target Field.With the late collapse, the Sox were swept in the three-game series.
