This one-day conference will be held on Monday 30 June 2014, from 9:30 to
17:30, at Link Campus University (Via Nomentana 335, Rome). It is co-organized by
Link Campus University (Rome), the Gino Germani Institute for Social Sciences and
Strategic Studies (Rome) and the International Center for Defense Studies (Tallin).
The event will be held in English, under the Chatham House rule, and will
involve a group of 50 experts from European and Italian government agencies,
universities, think-tanks, research centers and the business community.
The conference will explore the strategic implications of the Ukraine crisis for
European security and for the future direction of NATO and the transatlantic security
relationship. The objective is to generate insights that will be useful for government
and defense industry policy-makers ahead of the NATO September 2014 Summit.
Panel discussions and brainstorming sessions will address critical questions such as the
following:
1) Should the West rethink European Security after the Ukrainian crisis?
2) What are the implications of the Ukrainian crisis for NATO's mission, purpose
and ambitions? What should be NATO's strategic focus in the future? Is it time
for NATO to rethink its global role and refocus on European security?
3) What are the lessons for the EU? What are the implications of the Ukrainian
crisis for CSDP and the relationship between European defense and the
transatlantic security relationship?
4) Does NATO enlargement have a future and does it remain desirable?
5) How should Europe construct a strong defense and deterrence framework for
the future?
