Behind the behind-the-scenes. Who makes – or breaks – Europe’s decisions.
The mechanics of EU power
We decode the inner workings of EU institutions: from the shifting alliances in the Parliament to the internal power struggles of the Commission, the dealmaking inside the Council and the interinstitutional rivalries influencing the EU’s biggest files.
Europe’s Big Decisions
We follow the EU’s make-or-break files: the MFF, defence, simplification, Ukraine, rule of law, and more. The decisions that set Europe’s course—and why they matter.
Who calls the shots
We cut through the organograms to identify the decision-makers and political forces that matter most. Find out who truly controls the key files — and whose support can make or break Europe’s defining decisions.

Why we are obsessed with the long game
The EU is a centre of power that shapes policy across Europe and beyond. Understanding it is not optional – it is essential.
That means looking past the noise and into the real arenas of decision-making. The biggest developments are rarely the most visible. We dig into the details because only by mastering the nitty-gritty can you connect small moves to the bigger picture. That’s what gives you the clarity and foresight you cannot afford to lose.
