Security and Defense
The European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen recently declared that Europe is "in an era of rearmament". Global Europe Program Director Robin Quinville talks with Global Fellow, dr. Kaija Schilde about how the recent increases in defense spending in Europe are part of a broader, long-term trend to strengthen Europe's defense that began in 2014 and how the EU can play a pivotal role in strengthening the European defense industry and military capabilities. Dr. Kaija Schilde is the Associate Dean of Studies at the Boston University Pardee School of Global Studies.

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.
