Professors in the Pub: The EU in Security & Defense

Cada mes, acérquese al Café Des Taxis para tomar una copa y debatir con profesores y otros expertos sobre los acontecimientos importantes que ocurren en el mundo. Comparte tus preguntas y tus puntos de vista, y únete a la larga tradición de la política en el pub. 

Este mes:

Historically, the EU has been perceived as a rather hesitant player in the field of international defense. Although NATO is the primary guarantor of Europe’s security, we need to understand the possibilities and tools the EU has at its disposal. This is more important than ever given that war has returned to our neighborhood. The war in Ukraine has allowed the EU to demonstrate it can be a relevant global security actor, but it also revealed the EU’s vulnerabilities. How has the war in Ukraine impacted the EU? What are the EU’s vulnerabilities and is there a political will to improve the EU’s position in security and defense? How does the current CZ Presidency of the EU influence the EU’s direction? Come discuss these questions and ask your own.

El profesor principal será Adéla Jiřičková, Acting Head of the European Defence Cooperation Branch, Czech Ministry of Defense, and Alumna of AAU School of International Relations (2019).
