What Now for the European Security Architecture?
Chair(s): Jocelyn Mawdsley (University of Newcastle)
Presenter(s): Vanda Amaro Dias (Coimbra University), Andrew Cottey (University College Cork), Jocelyn Mawdsley (University of Newcastle), Tiffany Williams (Jena University), Niels van Willigen (Leiden University)
In this roundtable, panellists are asked to reflect on the shape and shaping of the European security architecture in the continued wake of Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Through a focus on the relations between and among EU and NATO member states, speakers will identify and evaluate the effects of a range of developments, some of which are already being seen, some of which are yet to take form but either should or will. The conversation will be steered by considerations of change and continuity. Actors that might be the subject of analysis include the EU, NATO, Council of Europe, OSCE and UN, as well as relations among them. Speakers will:
identify changes in relation to the European security architecture, that “security” defined in either or both hard and soft terms;
consider the impact of these changes in respect of scope and duration;
identify continuities in relation to the European security architecture;
evaluate the desirability of those continuities and the obstacles to change, especially where that change is needed;
consider what these changes and continuities mean for the future of international relations.
(This is one of three "What Now" roundtables convened in the context of Russia's war of aggression against Ukraine and its war, whether by extension or proxy, against the West, with consequential and wide-ranging implications for international relations.)
