Join CEMS and the Remarque Institute for a panel discussion on, "Europe Alone? European security at a time of U.S. disengagement."

This panel will discuss the future of European security against the background of the ongoing war in Ukraine and increasing uncertainty about the U.S. commitment to Europe. Two and a half years after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, there is a mood of pessimism about the war as Russian forces slowly advance in eastern Ukraine. Meanwhile Europeans worry that they may be abandoned by the United States, especially now that Donald Trump has been re-elected as president. Within Europe, the rise of the far right makes the idea of an "autonomous" Europe - that is, one that is independent of the United States in security terms - even more difficult to realize.

The panel will bring together academics and policy analysts from Europe and the United States to discuss these questions from different perspectives. The featured speakers are Kaija Schilde (Pardee School of Global Studies, Boston University), Matthias Matthijs (School of Advanced International Studies, Johns Hopkins University), and Hans Kundnani (NYU CEMS). The panel will be moderated by Stephen Gross (NYU CEMS).
