Driven by geopolitical imperatives and the pursuit of strategic autonomy, the EU officially launched the European Defence Industrial Strategy and the European Defence Industrial Development Programme, aiming to bolster the EUs defence industrial production capacities and accelerate the transition towards defence industrial integration and autonomy. This strategy has established a culture of “defence readiness”, attempting to enhance the defence industrial capacities of the EU through expanded investment and promote the development of its technological autonomy. However, challenges such as internal divisions within the EU, the US factor, and the EUs eroding industrial capacities will create certain obstacles for the implementation of this strategy. Exploring the policy implications, underlying drivers, and constraints of the EUs defence industrial strategy is of great reference significance for accurately grasping the characteristics and future trends of the EUs security and defence construction in recent years.

It also proposes some concepts from sociological perspectives, such as socialization, the logic of appropriateness and isomorphism. Sociological institutionalism shares many assumptions with social constructivism and has a unique explanatory advantage on the issue of identity. Nevertheless, the approach faces theoretical and practical challenges; we should thus strive to further elucidate the endogenous mechanisms by which institutions influence behaviors and measure the influence of cultural cognitive factors. Moreover, sociological institutionalism highlights the stability of institutional norms, whereas, to some extent, neglecting how the institutions have been shaped by social interactions, ie. the flexibility of institutions, thus exposing the limitations of sociological institutionalism in explaining institutional changes. In this regard, deeper reflection on the features and implications of sociological institutionalism provides important relevance for understanding the dynamics of European integration.

Stricken by the outbreak of the COVID19 pandemic, the role of digital technology played in economic recovery and social governance has been underpinned. In order to enhance digital capability and discourse power, China and EU have implemented their respective digital strategies with priorities in digital transformation and digital sovereignty. In this context, in September 2020, China and EU announced to build a digital partnership, which can be a major new highlight of ChinaEU cooperation and a new growth point of bilateral relations, symbolizing that ChinaEU digital collaboration has gradually moved on the track of institutionalization. Nevertheless, the cognitive divergence between China and EU on the rules of global digital governance has limited the depth and breadth of this partnership, while the attitude of the US has remained to be one of the main obstacles to the current ChinaEU digital cooperation. The construction of ChinaEU digital partnership has become a common vision and pursuit for both sides. Upholding the principle of extensive consultation, joint contribution and shared benefits, China and EU should bridge differences through dialogue and work together to strengthen digital policy coordination and digital technology cooperation.

It aims at recalibrating the EU's role in a geopolitical world in order to strengthen its capacity to safeguard and act in line with its interests and values. This notion is put forward in the contexts of intensified competition among external great powers, the prominence of geopolitical competition, multiple crises inside the EU, and setbacks in the European integration process. It involves the following five crucial areas: security sovereignty, economic sovereignty, health sovereignty, digital sovereignty, and climate sovereignty. This notion implies that the EU is laying more emphasis on a geopolitical perspective when examining and tackling its foreign relations, and that it has recognized its asymmetric dependence and vulnerabilities and is making strategic readjustments. The multidimensional elements of strategic sovereignty are being gradually integrated into the construction of a sovereign Europe. The resultant impact deserves serious attention.
