## Resource

What does it take for Europe to stay open, democratic, and competitive in a world driven by power? Arancha González joins Power and Purpose for a hopeful conversation about Europe’s resilience. Together with Amanda Sloat and Nathalie Tocci, she explores why Europeans should focus on wellbeing as much as GDP, how to respond to Trump without projecting weakness, and why activism must override optimism or pessimism in politics. Arancha González is the third Dean of the Paris School of International Affairs (PSIA) at Sciences Po and the first woman to lead the world's third school for Politics and International Studies. Prior to joining PSIA, Ms. González served as Spain’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, European Union and Cooperation (2020-2021). Dr Amanda Sloat is Professor of Practice in the School of Politics, Economics, and Global Affairs at IE University in Madrid, Spain. Dr Nathalie Tocci is Professor of the Practice at SAIS Europe in Bologna, Italy. Power & Purpose is an IE Insights podcast.
