We are pleased to announce the publication of our second round of working papers and our first policy brief, offering new research and policy insights into how the European Union navigates today’s increasingly complex and fragmented global governance landscape.

The second round of NAVIGATOR publications includes:

• EU in Global Digital and Cyber Governance: Leads and Pathways. Analysing the EU’s identity, leadership ambitions, and operational pathways in shaping global digital and cyber governance.
• The EU in Global Governance: Mapping the Governance Landscape. A structural analysis of global governance arenas and the EU’s positioning within them.
• Climate Change and Finance: A Financial Bureaucracies Perspective. Examining the role of financial bureaucracies in shaping global climate governance.
• How the EU and its Member States Exercise Leverage Across Global Health Venues. Exploring how the EU strategically engages different institutional venues to advance its global health objectives.
• Strategic Decision-Making in a Fragmented Landscape: The EU’s Search Costs in Global Climate Governance. Investigating how fragmentation increases the EU’s strategic and coordination challenges.
• Governing Migration Without a Regime: The EU and the Co-Production of Global Migration Governance. Analysing how migration governance evolves in the absence of a consolidated global regime.
• Coalition Defies Mission? Multilateral Conflict Resolution at Times of Geopolitical Contestation. Assessing coalition dynamics and the shifting nature of multilateral conflict resolution.
• And a policy brief, Stronger Together? The EU and Regional Organizations in Global Governance. Examining the EU’s cooperation with regional organisations as a pathway to influence global governance outcomes.

Together, these contributions deepen our understanding of how the EU navigates multilateral cooperation under conditions of fragmentation and geopolitical contestation.

By combining conceptual innovation with empirically grounded analysis, the working papers and policy brief provide tools to better understand global governance processes.

All documents are also available on our working papers and policy briefs dedicated pages.
