In this Expert Series episode, we meet with Mrs. Laura Thornton, Senior Director of the McCain Institute; Dr. Balkan Devlen, Director of the Transatlantic Program at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute; and Dr. Leonard Schütte, Senior Researcher at the Munich Security Conference to discuss the future of NATO amidst recent shifts in the transatlantic democracy and security cooperation.
This panel explores international alliance dynamics post-2025’s Munich Security Conference. Starting with Ukraine and other countries beyond NATO’s current Eastern flank, our guests look at the consequences of global democratic backsliding for European and Eurasian regional security. As the United States continues to adopt a more isolationist posture and withdraw from the world stage, our guests emphasize the need for Europe to drastically increase defence spending and support for Ukraine.
