Event Description
Presented by CIPS, UQAM and MINDS
The conference, which will bring together leading academics and practitioners, will focus on some of the most pressing challenges facing Canada and its NATO allies as the Alliance seeks to respond to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and, more broadly, to adapt to what is widely perceived as a new era of instability. The conference will provide an opportunity for participants and guests to assess recent developments relevant to the strengthening of the eastern flank, to examine their likely implications, and to identify possible steps/opportunities for addressing current challenges/limitations and strengthening the ability of NATO to exercise deterrence and defence functions in the future. The conference will address not only developments on the eastern flank but also broader dynamics that shape those developments, such as the security situation in the Balkans and recent electoral outcomes in key member states.
