This event has been postponed and will take place at a later date. We apologize for the inconvenience.

Please join the Atlantic Council’s Transatlantic Security Initiative, in the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, for a public event on “Collective Defense and the Crisis in Europe: A conversation with Admiral Rob Bauer, Chair of the NATO Military Committee” on Monday, February 28 from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. EST via Zoom.

Moscow’s attempts to reconfigure the architecture of European security through coercion and aggression towards Ukraine represent the most serious threat in Europe since the end of the Cold War. In response, NATO allies have demonstrated an unparalleled level of unity and are taking steps to enhance the Alliance’s defense and deterrence posture. However, whatever the short-term outcome, this crisis is likely to have a far-reaching impact on NATO’s continued adaptation and enduring ability to deter conflict in Europe.

To discuss NATO’s approach to collective defense in the face of this aggression, the Scowcroft Center’s Transatlantic Security Initiative is delighted to host Admiral Rob Bauer, the Chair of the NATO Military Committee. During this event, Admiral Bauer will also touch on NATO’s dialogue with Russia and response to Moscow’s security demands as well as the implications of the crisis for NATO’s military strategy and adaptation, the strategic autonomy debate in Europe, and NATO’s Strategic Concept.

Register for this virtual event now by filling out the registration form below. We hope you can join us for what promises to be a fascinating discussion.
