Pawel Zerka, policy fellow at the European Council on Foreign Relations with the Rethink: Europe initiative sat down with The Europe Desk to discuss the ECFR Cohesion Monitor's latest report "The crisis that made the EU: European cohesion in the age of COVID" and how the crisis has challenged the EU, how united EU member states were going into the crisis, and what implications COVID has for the future of European integration.

The Europe Desk is a podcast from the BMW Center for German and European Studies at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. It brings together leading experts working on the most pertinent issues facing Europe and transatlantic relations today.
