• Abstract:

  The impact of Russia’s war in Ukraine, as another external shock, in
  EU’s economy and society is clearly high. It arrived just when another
  external shock (the covid-19 pandemic) was getting absorbed and
  overcome.
  This research frames this war in an historic evolution of multiple
  political factors in Europe and then characterizes the consequences
  of this external shock.
  Then an analysis of the degree of asymmetry in the distribution of
  those impacts across the EU regions is made and a framework for the
  following years is proposed: the quadruple transition.
  The paper finishes with an assessment of how these four transitions
  are assuming different paces in different EU regions, calling for an
  intervention of EU’s cohesion policy.
