Interested in Europe’s and Transatlantic security in the context of Ukraine’s war? This seminar aims at 1/ understanding the way it works on both the institutional framework (NATO, EU) and the national policies from the main actors (USA, France, Eastern flank), 2/ investigating the recent evolution of the relationship between the two sides of the Atlantic and its perspective under the Trump administration. This seminar is focused on security issues but will include economic aspects (defence industry, European Defence Fund). One session will be dedicated to China in the Transatlantic context. Methodology learning will be an important part of this seminar: the goal is to develop executive-style presentation skills and media-style debate skills through the weekly exercises.
