Elections in the U.S. and Europe: What Does This Mean for the Transatlantic Security Relationship?

In November, Americans are going to the polls. The Europeans did so last June. What does this electoral shake-up 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?

The Center for the Study of Europe and the Global Security Speaker Series are excited to host a panel addressing these questions, featuring 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. Moderated by Sanne Verschuren Assistant Professor of International Security, Pardee School of Global Studies.
