Join us for an online seminar on 23 February from 18:30 - 20:00 hrs,  during which we will discuss the change in the European security architecture in the context of the war in Ukraine. What goals, priorities, and actions should be taken to address the current challenges, and what policies should be implemented? What does this all mean for national security strategies, which are being developed now across Europe?

Security policy landscape in Europe is changed

Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine has dramatically changed the security policy landscape in Europe. In response, the EU formally approved the Strategic Compass (March 2022) and NATO updated its core tasks with a new Strategic Concept (June 2022). 

However, many EU countries are still struggling with an appropriate security response at the national level. What goals, priorities, and actions should be taken to address the current challenges, and what policies should be implemented? Is the focus on collective defense, hard power, or a different form of the wider security concept? How do we address Russian and Chinese policies that challenge our values and rules-based international order? Can we continue to rely on our traditional Western alliance, NATO, if the US redirects its attention to Asia, and how much European sovereignty do we need?

The lecture is part of the 'European Strategic Dialogue' series, coordinated with the Institute of Security and Global Affairs (ISGA) by Dr. Nikki Ikani, which discusses geopolitical and strategic European security questions from a Franco-Dutch-German perspective.
