CONTRIBUTION TO THE PROJECT

In the Extractivism project, Gabriel Eyselein examines how the EU navigates mounting pressure over critical raw materials. He analyzes the dynamics shaping this contested field, asking what political implications and concrete policy responses follow from designating a material as “critical” or “strategic.”
