SUMMARY:Great Decisions: The Future of NATO and European Security
DESCRIPTION:Great Decisions 2025 Topics\n\nTuesday March 4, 2025 6:00PM\nWinkler Activity Center at Winkler Park (Crawdads Stadium) \nThe Future of NATO and European Security\nEuropean security is more uncertain than it has been for decades. Putin’s Russia has launched a war with Ukraine on its doorstep, and America’s uncertain role as leader of NATO and security provider has been called into question with the failure of Congress to pass supplemental military support for Ukraine. What are Europe’s options, and how might developments on both sides of Western Europe – in Ukraine and across the Atlantic – impact its choices? What are America’s stakes in NATO and Europe’s strategic dilemmas?\nAuthor: Kori Schake \nTuesday March 11, 2025 6:00PM\nWinkler Activity Center at Winkler Park (Crawdads Stadium) \nAI and American National Security\nThe AI revolution is the leading edge of a larger high-tech revolution which promises to transform the world. Experts argue that international cooperation is needed to expand the opportunities these new technologies hold while protecting societies from their dangers. What are the key policy debates in this area, and what are the opportunities and limits on global AI rules of the road? How will the AI revolution impact American national security? What are its policy options to secure the benefits of AI and guard against its dangers?\nAuthor: Julie George\nWeek #8: Tuesday March 18, 2025 6:00PM\nWinkler Activity Center at Winkler Park (Crawdads Stadium) \nAfter Gaza: American Policy in the Middle East\nThe war in Gaza has brought the region to a crossroads. What are the possible outcomes of the war, and how might the United States use its influence to shape a long-term settlement that leaves both Israel and the Palestinians in a better position? How might Arab states in the wider region be brought into a settlement? What are America’s interests in the Middle East and how can it advance them?\nAuthor: Daniel Kurtzer \n\n \n\n
