Overview
Euro-Atlantic strategic stability has significantly deteriorated since 2022. Russia’s war on Ukraine has also heightened nuclear risks in Europe. Meanwhile, the Trump administration’s shift towards an ‘America First’ foreign policy has profound but uncertain implications for the UK, Europe, and multilateral security. In response, the UK and Europe are increasing rearmament efforts to strengthen defence and deterrence.
This conference will explore contemporary national debates on how Europe is tackling this rapidly shifting security environment and seek to identify key emerging trends as well as outline new strategic thinking. Specifically, it will consider the UK position following the NATO Hague Summit, the UK-EU summit and the Defence and Security Partnership, and the publication of the UK Strategic Defence Review and National Security Strategy documents.
