Eighty years after 1945, Europe again faces war in its own region. How to turn this tide and have peace in Europe – and a peace on acceptable terms? To discuss this question, this dialogue looks at the horrors of current war in Ukraine; the relationship of Russia to Europe; lessons of Europe’s history for future peace; the values underpinning future European peace; and Europe’s place in a changing global world.
