Europas neue (Un-)Sicherheit. Von der Friedens- zur Konfliktordnung

Russlands Angriff hat eine tektonische Verschiebung in Gang gesetzt: Europa geht über von einer kooperativen in eine konfrontative Sicherheitsordnung. Der Westen muss sich neu aufstellen: Es gilt, den Konflikt mit Russland gestalten zu können, anstatt ihn ertragen zu müssen.

Projects

In this project, initiated in 1993 as “Ebenhausen Dialogue”, the General Inspector of the German Bundeswehr invites annually a group of high-ranking military leaders to discuss current topics of foreign and international security policy. The dialogue aims to facilitate a critical exchange of views. Temporarily there were up to three seminars: Dialogue with the Russian Federation (1993-2013), Dialogue with Russian Field Officers (2001-2009), and the ongoing Dialogue with Ukraine (since 1995).
Geostrategic changes and the deterioration of the German and European security environment over the last decade pose new challenges for Germany's security and defence policy. In the context of Sino-American rivalry and the question of Europe's capacity to act, expectations are growing, including among many partners, for Germany to become more involved and take on more concrete responsibility in the field of security and defence policy.
