THREATS: European Perspectives on a changing strategic environment

In this special episode of .think atlantic, IRI’s Thibault Muzergues is joined by IRI's Transatlantic Strategy Division Senior Director Jan Surotchak and three authors of IRI’s latest publication “THREATS: European Perspectives on a changing strategic environment”. This publication gathers a collection of essays from a range of European experts and practitioners of geopolitics, and provides an overview of how diverse - and at the same time how convergent - security perceptions are in the Europe today.  And to discuss it, we have Theresa from Germany, Radu from Romania and Anna from Greece. Theresa Carolina Winter is Policy advisor for security and defence politics at the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom; Ana Zahariadou is a defense and security affairs specialist and Deputy International Secretary of the Greek centre-right governing party New Democracy; Radu Albu Comanescu is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of European Studies at the Babeş-Bolyai University of Cluj-Napoca; And last but not least, our own Transatlantic Strategy Division Senior Director Jan Surotchak, who supported this project all along and who give us the US perspective on Transatlantic security. What is the most important thing that Allies need to achieve at the NATO Vilnius Summit? What is the German Zeitenwende and how the German security establishment has reacted to the Russian war in Ukraine? How does Romania perceive its place in the NATO alliance to be, and does its perception of threats differ radically from other actors? How does Greece view the current situation in the Black Sea, and does that affect the way it perceives its role in the Mediterranean? how the US views geopolitical threats and its strategic environment, in Europe and beyond? Listen for answers to these questions and more in this episode. Do not forget to download IRI's publication " THREATS: European Perspectives on a changing strategic environment”.
