Hosted by the Center for Security Studies (CSS)
The inconclusive wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, NATO’s difficulties in Libya, and the growing pressure on national defense budgets all raise questions as to the future of Western security. How deep is the crisis in Western crisis management? What future is there for NATO? Is European defense set for pooling or paralysis? What is Europe’s place in US security policy? And is there still such a thing as “Western” security?
