Mutual Security on Hold? Russia, the West, and European Security Architecture
This year, the Munich Security Conference celebrated its 50th anniversary. These fifty years of substantive dialogue on security cooperation have existed against a changing political backdrop β from the tensions of the Cold War and the brutal conflict in the Western Balkans, to the attacks of September 11, 2001, the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the global βWar on Terror.β Mutual security and the transatlantic relationship are once again faced with challenges in the form of the crisis in Ukraine. What does this crisis mean for mutual security, and how will it affect the security architecture in Europe? ΐΦΣγ ΜεΣύ brings together this distinguished panel to discuss these issues, as well as the recent anniversary volume: βTowards Mutual Security: Fifty Years of Munich Security Conference.β
