About the event: <\/b>This roundtable brings together experts on European security policy and institutions to examine how European and transatlantic organizations are responding to Russia\u2019s war in Ukraine and the broader erosion of the post-Cold War security order. Speakers will map the political-military and institutional dimensions of that response\u2014NATO\u2019s deterrence posture, the European Union\u2019s readiness, and the role of hybrid warfare transforming Europe’s understanding of war and peace. The speakers will identify where institutions are adapting successfully, which gaps remain, and what practical reforms might strengthen stability, crisis management, and regulated coexistence in Europe. The discussion will connect historical lessons, hybrid-threat dynamics, and forward-looking policy options for governments, students, and civil society.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
