Taking place on the week marking one year since the start of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, this event will address the future of the European peace and security communities in the wake of the war. While pan-European organizations such as the OSCE have struggled to find a role in the new polarized environment, NATO's role as the prime collective defense organization was reaffirmed. According to some, NATO's new centrality and future enlargement will constrain the European Union's already uncertain path towards greater strategic autonomy and a higher security profile. At the same time, the European Political Community – which gathers 44 countries of the Eurasian continent – held its first meeting in October 2022. The seminar will discuss the role that these organizations can play in the coming months and years to bring stability and peace back to Europe.
The discussion will be held in English.
