In January 2019, French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Angela Merkel signed the new Treaty of Aachen pledging greater cooperation between France and Germany on European policies and setting forth a revitalized vision of shared European ideals. Professor Ratti will focus on this recent agreement and the potential impact for European security.

He is particularly interested in the post-Cold War challenges for NATO, Anglo-American relations and Germany in the Cold War and after, and in the broader question of the changing nature of regional and world security.
