The Daniel Morgan Graduate School of National Security - Kennan Institute Lecture
The Future of the Transatlantic Alliance: Challenges and Opportunities
This event is cosponsored by the Global Europe Program at the Wilson Center, Daniel Morgan Graduate School of National Security, and the Kennan Institute.
During this time of uncertainty in relations between the United States and its allies abroad, the Right Honourable Baroness Catherine Ashton will present a lecture on the major challenges and opportunities facing the transatlantic alliance. She will focus in particular on the issue of Russia, and how different countries within the transatlantic community vary in their opinion and approach toward Russia. Can the transatlantic community keep a united front – either in sustaining pressure on Russia or in agreeing on how to start re-engaging with Russia?

Global Europe Program
The Global Europe Program is focused on Europe’s capabilities, and how it engages on critical global issues. We investigate European approaches to critical global issues. We examine Europe’s relations with Russia and Eurasia, China and the Indo-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Our initiatives include “Ukraine in Europe”—an examination of what it will take to make Ukraine’s European future a reality. But we also examine the role of NATO, the European Union and the OSCE, Europe’s energy security, transatlantic trade disputes, and challenges to democracy. The Global Europe Program’s staff, scholars-in-residence, and Global Fellows participate in seminars, policy study groups, and international conferences to provide analytical recommendations to policy makers and the media.
