This event is part of PRIO's European Security Week. Join us for a discussion on the strategic choices being made by European leaders and how they are remaking European security. European security is being rapidly rethought under the combined pressures of threats from Russia, wars in Ukraine and in the Middle East, and the end of leadership by the United States. The EU has expanded its competences while national governments try to coordinate their actions across several areas. Some of the most significant developments have concerned defence industry policy, energy policy and relations with Eastern European states. The panelists will discuss themes such as:
- Will the ongoing crises push Europe toward greater integration in areas related to security?
- Can Europe simultaneously reduce dependence on energy imports and transition to a low-carbon future?
- What is the future role of states in Eastern Europe and the South Caucasus where there is a competition for influence with Russia?
- How can European states and the EU govern the very rapid innovation of defence and security technology?
Speakers to be: Zinaida Bechná, Bruno Oliveira Martins, Jocelyn Mawdsley, Veli-Pekka Tynkkynen Moderator: Nicholas Marsh
