Event Highlights: Elections in the U.S. and Europe and the Transatlantic Security Relationship?
What do the 2024 electoral shake-ups mean for the Transatlantic Security Relationship? In the context of increasing security competition with China and Russia, how will the NATO alliance endure? What will American and European partners do to continue support for the War in Ukraine? What role will nuclear weapons play in this relationship? What are the prospects for the defense industry across both sides of the Atlantic?
These questions were the subject of a recent panel of renowned security experts: Polina Beliakova, Post-Doctoral Fellow, MIT Security Studies Program; Stacie Goddard, Betty Freyhof Johnson ‘44 Professor of Political Science, Wellesley College; Associate Provost for Wellesley in the World; Kaija Schilde, Associate Dean of Studies; Jean Monnet Chair in European Security and Defense; Associate Professor of International Relations, Pardee School of Global Studies; and Lauren Sukin, Assistant Professor of International Relations, London School of Economics and Political Science; Stanton Nuclear Security Fellow, MIT. The discussion, convened and moderated by Sanne Verschuren Assistant Professor of International Security, Pardee School of Global Studies, took place on Tuesday, November 12, 2024.
A report of this event was published in Good Authority.
This event took place as part of the Pardee School of Global Studies Global Security Speaker Series and the Center for the Study of Europe’s “Europe in the World” series, an initiative of Kaija Schilde, Jean Monnet Chair in European Security and Defense. The aim of the latter series, supported by the European Union**, is to prompt critical reflection by a larger public on human and regional security informed by cross-national experiences and a variety of disciplinary lenses as well as to introduce or emphasize EU perspectives into ongoing debates around security integration and global challenges.
