Summary/Abstract: The leaders of EU member states have been frequently referring to "geopolitical Europe". Macron has been actively promoting the concept of Europe as a power since 2017, a vision based on the premise of deep geopolitical shifts and a new reality of big power rivalries on the world chessboard.Nevertheless, France must convince EU Member States that this concept is stable. As a tool for achieving "geopolitical Europe", the French concept of Differentiated Integration will be examined in this paper. An emphasis will be placed on the EU enlargement process.
