The Initiative commenced with an online panel discussion followed by a Reflection Group meeting, bringing together experts and practitioners to examine one of the most pressing challenges facing Europe today: how to rebalance the currently dominating militarism/deterrence with diplomacy in the context of the war between Russia and Ukraine. The participants reviewed both the causes of the current security crisis and the possible foundations for a renewed pan-European security architecture.
The Invitation and the Briefing Notes below entail the main challenges addressed by the panelists and the key findings and recommendations that emerged from these discussions, including the establishment of a collective security system for Europe. You may also watch the recording of the panel discussion on the YouTube of this website.
