Founder & Editor
Geert Kraaijeveld is founder and editor of Broad Horizon — an independent geopolitical journal offering long-form analysis, value-based frameworks, and interdisciplinary insight into the shifting architecture of power, cooperation, and conflict.
He focuses on European affairs and their global entanglements: conflicts, migration, strategic resources, and the long story of trust, sovereignty, and design.
Reflection
As European firms like Daimler, Volkswagen, and Siemens expand their investments in the U.S., they risk tying their futures to a volatile partner. Short-term economic incentives and a temporarily favorable exchange rate obscure deeper structural risks: political instability, panic-driven corporate culture, and growing protectionism. Europe is not dependent on the U.S. — not for gas, not for markets, and certainly not for leadership. Strategic autonomy begins with saying no.
Essay
It is almost 2025. There is social unrest. A migration crisis? Foreign influences? A retreat to the national is taking . Border controls are being deployed again. People want to be “in control” again. Will this bring back confidence?
