Atlanticism in a changing world

HUM:Global Talk! public roundtable discussion.

We are truly at a historical crossroads: The strategic and value-based relationship between Europe, the United States and like-minded partners is both more essential than ever and unprecedentedly challenged by both external threats and domestic ruptures.

At the same time, a profound shift has unfolded in the democratic societies of Northern Europe. Waking up to the threat of Russia, the entire Baltic Sea region is dramatically recalibrating its geopolitical priorities.

This roundtable of eminent scholars will discuss Atlanticism as both a historical relationship with ups and downs over the past several decades and as a contemporary challenge and opportunity in need of reconceptualisation.
