NATO: Military Alliances, Management, and Utilization of Warfare Means.
June 15th and 16th, 2023
The Sorbonne War Studies program at Panthéon-Sorbonne University is organizing an interdisciplinary conference on the role of military alliances in collective security and defense, with a particular focus on NATO.
As the war in Ukraine has highlighted the importance of the Atlantic alliance, this event will shed light on the vulnerabilities of NATO, particularly in terms of burden-sharing and pressures from dominant states. The conference will also address the security, institutional, and industrial challenges related to NATO, as well as the broader processes of forming international security alliances and their uses.
