The European Union's Open Strategic Autonomy (OSA) is a policy framework aimed at strenghten the EU's capacity to act independently in critical sectors while remaining engaged in global trade and partnerships, achieving a functional balance between self-reliance and multilateralism . In this podcast we talked to leading researchers Eva Michaels , Ester Sabatino and Catherine Barnard on the future of EU’s OSA.
