The Shattered Peace of Europe: What Next?
The war in Ukraine has radically changed Europe’s future and with it the prospects for global security. Russia’s appetite for risky and destructive regional war has become apparent while NATO has been reinvigorated in a way unseen since the Cold War.
Energy policy has been upended, German rearmament is gathering pace and NATO’s Eastern flank is now bristling with battle-ready forces. Irrespective of the outcome of Putin’s war, the politics of European security will look extremely different for the foreseeable future.
In this discussion, Professor Matt Fitzpatrick will detail the likely effects of this re-militarisation of Central and Eastern Europe and argue that both Russia and NATO must find new ways to co-exist in this febrile environment. He will also survey prospects for creating an enduring peace.
BIOGRAPHY
Professor Fitzpatrick specialises in international history, in particular German and European history, as well as the history of European imperialism, German liberalism and nationalism. He is also interested in the comparative history of empires, and intellectual history. His most recent monograph is Purging the Empire: Mass Expulsions in Germany, 1871-1914.
Diplomacy at the Bar is a regular series of relatively informal presentations by experts in their field on a topic of their expertise. It gathers members and friends of the Institute to hear a featured talk of between 25-30 minutes on a topic by an expert. This is followed by a Q&A session and social interaction.
