Beskrivning av samhällsfrågan

A combination of the Russian war in Ukraine and Donald Trump’s return to the White House has resulted in unprecedented pressure on Europe to fend for its own security. What possibility does the EU have to substitute American security engagements on the European continent?

Utökad information om evenemanget

Europe is at crossroads. On the one hand, calls for heightened European responsibility for the continent’s security have expanded amid President Trump’s efforts to negotiate a peace in Ukraine without neither Ukrainians nor other Europeans at the table, causing a major rupture in transatlantic relations. On the other hand, the US and the EU still need each other to coordinate policies in the trade war with China – despite their own trade conflict following the introduction of American tariffs. While Russia will continue to pose a threat to Europe in the foreseeable future, the EU also faces internal challenges that may hamper its capacity to play a cohesive geopolitical role – ranging from increasing populism to questions of enlargement of the Union. What does decreased American engagement for European security mean for the EU’s exposure to various threats? What are the EU’s conditions for handling these challenges? And what is really at stake regarding European security?
