Conservative Europeanism: A Forgotten Tradition

Sharing core norms and values
Nov 18, 2025 | Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies

Recent decades have seen conservatism drift towards nationalism and the EU towards progressive technocracy, creating a damaging rift. Reuniting the two is not only historically coherent; it is politically urgent, notes Federico Ottavio Reho of the Wilfried Martens Centre for European Studies.  A renewed conservative Europeanism could offer a third path: one that is rooted, forward-looking and civilisational. Defending European unity today, this publication argues, is not a betrayal of conservatism, but its fulfilment. https://www.martenscentre.eu
