Wess Mitchell at PISM Debate: Russian Threat to Central and Eastern Europe 29.01.2015.
The Polish Institute of International Affairs and the Center for European Policy Analysis organised a debate designed to answer the question how to avert the Russian threat to Central and Eastern Europe.
The last year was one of peril and turmoil for Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). Will 2015 bring more of the same? Russia’s aggression in Ukraine is testing the bonds of Atlanticism across Europe. While some states seek accommodation with Moscow, still others wonder if the Putin regime could be ever more reckless in the future. What response strategies are needed to counter the Russian threat in the coming year; how might transatlantic leaders bolster the weaker pillars of the alliance; and what role exists for the United States in this equation?
The answers to these questions will hold profound implications for Poland’s national security and foreign policy, as well as the geostrategic landscape of the wider CEE region. Please join the Polish Institute of International Affairs (PISM) for a compelling consideration of the road ahead. Offering perspectives from both sides of the Atlantic, the seminar will feature the insights of the Co-Chairman of the Polish-Russian Group on Difficult Matters, former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Poland Adam Daniel Rotfeld, the President of the Center for European Policy Analysis (CEPA) Wess Mitchell, and CEPA Senior Vice President Edward Lucas.
